Nobody should be under any illusions about media’s collaboration with Bolshevik Occupied Russia. In 1979 my paper published horrifying images depicting victims of ‘Uncle Joe’ Stalin’s starvation of the Ukrainian nation in which 10 million (Stalin’s figure) died.
The ink hadn’t dried on my story before media deplored my use of Nazi atrocity pictures to blame the Bolsheviks. Yet the images I used were copied from a Swedish newspaper published six years before Hitler’s NSDAP was elected.
Fast forward to August 1941 as the armies of the Reich approach Ukraine’s Dnieper River. To slow the German advance, the American-built Dnieper River dam was dynamited by the retreating Red Army. The breach triggered by their demolition charges caused a wave of water estimated at tens of metres high. A man-made tsunami, the destruction was said by Stalin to be a ‘hostile act of sabotage.’
Ukrainian historians recently acquired documented evidence that the wave resulting from the sabotage cost the lives of about a hundred thousand people. These included local citizens and refugees from neighbouring regions including about 20,000 Soviet soldiers who had failed to leave the area.
Western correspondents parroted the Bolshevik tyrant’s lies. It wasn’t sloppy journalism; western correspondents were well aware of what actually happened and the scale of devastation and carnage. A correspondent admitted that western journalists favoured the more balanced German news reports as they were less tainted by propaganda. At home, news editors also knew what actually occurred but slavishly echoed Stalin’s ranting rhetoric.
The Red Army’s dynamiting of Dnieper Hydroelectric Station was blamed on the defeated Germans at the Nuremberg ‘trials’. The photos used as ‘evidence’ were those taken after the Red Army’s demolition of the dam. At these show trials German defendants were denied the right to defend themselves.
The German made YouTube 1.24 video depicts the effects and after effects of the Red Army’s sabotage that cost 100,000 lives. The Dnieper Dam was rebuilt by the German occupying forces in 1943.
