RE: https://www.psicospace.it/patto-molotov-ribbentrop-accordo-tra-hitler-e-stalin/

Il 23 agosto 1939 Germania nazista e Unione Sovietica firmarono il Patto Molotov-Ribbentrop. Un accordo di non aggressione che nascondeva un protocollo segreto e avrebbe contribuito a ridisegnare l’Europa orientale.

Cosa prevedeva il patto? Perché Hitler e Stalin decisero di accordarsi? Come si arrivò alla spartizione della Polonia?

## Description:
In **Hitler and Stalin Today (MUN180H1-S)**, Timothy Snyder examines the Nazi and Soviet responses to the new globalized world they shared. The course begins with the colonial background that made totalitarianism possible, and which remains an essential element of our politics now. Their ideologies are described as worldviews and as practical politics, with an emphasis on the reasons for their appeal. Attention to their policies of mass killing, essential events of twentieth-century history, instructs us about how "it" can happen here. The study of dissident thought helps us to see connections between historical predicaments and our own, and instructs us about possible reactions as individuals and as citizens. The course asks what we have learned from the twentieth century and what lessons we should carry forward.

> The first lecture in a ten-lecture series on Hitler and Stalin today.
>
> The first lecture (video above) is titled “What is history?” We speak often about history, but we are careless with the past. When we choose not to know what has happened before, we are also choosing not to influence what will happen after. If we don’t care about history, we find ourselves in an eternal present, denied any sort of imagination about the future, and nurtured on lies about a past in which we were innocent. History does not mean these misleading tales; it means a search for knowledge, using a certain set of tools; it means a process that enriches and humanizes, one that allows us to name things by their proper names.

Tallest ‘Stalinist’ Skyscrapers of the former Soviet Bloc

Identified below by order of height are “Stalinist” empire style skyscrapers that were built in the former Soviet Union. and its satellite nations. Most of these were begun in the late 1940s and 1950s, while Joseph Stalin was still alive, though one, Triumph Palace, represents a rebirth of the Stalinism style from the early 2000s.

The skyscrapers with an asterisk (*) before them are the famous Seven Sisters of Stalin’s Empire Style Architecture built in Moscow. Two others were planned, but never built, including what would have been the tallest building in the world at the time – The Palace of the Soviets.

Design characteristics of “Stalinist” empire style of architecture include, but are not limited to the following:

• Monumental design including tall spires
• Strict symmetry
• Abundant decoration
• Expensive natural materials
• Palatial interiors
• Combination of neoclassical and art deco styles
• Ornamental features such as stars, hammer & sickle, etc.

Regardless of one’s opinions of Stalin and his policies, these towering structures are immensely impressive and quite breathtaking. Compared to so many bland, boxy skyscrapers proliferating the planet, these high-rise edifices succeed in adding character and a touch of panache to the cities where they are located in a manner that enhances their surroundings. If only more early post-WWII architectural trends had done the same, many dullish city skylines would have been more visually entertaining during the Cold War era.

“When you mix science and politics, you get politics:*…

Tina Hesman Saey on a looming threat to the U.S…

Soviet scientists in the 1930s knew what could happen if they bucked the party line: denunciation, firing and banishment from the scientific establishment, even imprisonment and death. Political reprisals against those who opposed the views of dictator Joseph Stalin and his followers — and the dubious science they endorsed — led to the starvation of millions, as well as to decades of lost progress in fields from agriculture to molecular biology.

Now, scientists are warning that history could repeat itself — but in the United States.

A new proposal from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget would put political appointees in charge of funding decisions traditionally overseen by scientists. In recent years, the federal government has funded about 40 percent of basic science research in the United States.

The OMB’s more than 400-page proposed rule change would let political appointees decide how to hand out federal research funds and who can get them. It would cut funding for collaboration with scientists in other countries and restrict scientists’ ability to communicate their findings. What’s more, it could prevent research on matters that President Donald Trump’s administration has deemed “not in the national interest” — such as studies on health disparities, mRNA-based vaccines and research that doesn’t recognize biological sex as a strict binary.

The new rules would also give OMB the power to rescind previously approved research funds. The proposal “poses a sweeping threat to federal grantmaking and the responsible stewardship of American taxpayer dollars,” the science advocacy group Stand Up for Science Foundation said in a report. In addition, it would impact nonscientific grants supporting services for mental health, housing, education, veterans and Tribal nations, affecting the health and well-being of millions.

So far, OMB has received more than 98,000 comments on the proposal. The public comment period closes July 13. It then will be up to OMB to decide whether to keep the rule as is, revise it or scrap it.

These far-reaching measures are already drawing parallels to dark moments in scientific history. Some researchers say the recent mass firings, policy changes and grant cancellations at federal research institutions, including the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, closely mirror what happened in the U.S.S.R. under Stalin. “A similar threat now hangs over U.S. science,” the editorial board of The New England Journal of Medicine wrote in June.

Its editorial invoked the example of Trofim Lysenko [see here], an agronomist and astute political operator who rose to power in the 1930s Soviet Union under Stalin.

Until the 1930s, “the Soviet Union was a real powerhouse in the field of genetics,” says Lee Dugatkin, an evolutionary biologist and historian of science at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.

Then, Lysenko came along. “This guy was your sort of classic charlatan,” Dugatkin says. “He had the equivalent of a mail order degree in agriculture, but he was quite good with the press, and he started to basically spread this idea out there that he was capable of dramatically increasing crop yield, particularly wheat.”

Lysenko’s supposed innovation was a process called vernalization and amounted to soaking seeds in freezing water. The resulting plants — and all their offspring — should be resistant to the U.S.S.R.’s famously cold winters, Lysenko reasoned.

His reasoning was based on a disproven idea in evolutionary biology called Lamarckian inheritance. French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and his followers thought that things an organism experiences in its lifetime can be handed down to the next generation. The classic example is a giraffe that has to stretch to reach leaves producing offspring with long necks.

This idea ran counter to Mendelian genetics, which holds that genes — not environmental influences — control traits and are passed to offspring. Mendelian geneticists thought it would take five years to breed more cold-tolerant crops. Lysenko said he could do it in two to three years.

Stalin didn’t have time to wait. He was trying to get collective farms going and needed to increase crop yields to feed more than 150 million people. Large parts of the country had already suffered from famine in 1932 and 1933 and about 6 million people died. Some resorted to cannibalism.

Stalin embraced Lysenko’s quick-fix approach. That decision, says Michael Gordin, a historian of science at Princeton University, was “something that the majority of people at the time, and everyone since, considers the wrong side of the dispute.”

Lysenko was put in charge of a prestigious genetics institute and forced his scientifically unsound farming practices on the collective farms. His methods were disastrous.

Soaking seeds in freezing water hampered germination, leading to crop losses. Millions starved. Meanwhile, Mendelian genetics was branded a “whore of capitalism,” and geneticists were forced to renounce their views or lose their jobs. Many were jailed, and almost a dozen were executed or died in prison.

The Soviet Union lost its scientific leadership role and sat on the sidelines for important scientific discoveries of the 1950s and beyond. One, Gordin says, was the development of “massively” productive hybrid corn. The country also missed out on the discovery of DNA and the advent of molecular biology, putting Soviet genetics decades behind the rest of the world.

Soviet genetics did not recover from Lysenko’s influence until after the break-up of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gordin says. “I think you’d be hard pressed to find anybody who thinks that … Russia is today, or Ukraine, or any post-Soviet successor state, is a leading molecular biology country.”…

The Soviets did it, and it didn’t end well: “Here’s what happens when you put politicians in charge of science,” from @thsaey.bsky.social in @sciencenews.bsky.social.

As we remember the past so as not to repeat it, we might recall that it was on this date in 1834 that the Spanish Inquisition (finally) ended. Authorized by Pope Sixtus IV in 1478, the Inqusition was initially led by inquisitors (Miguel de Morillo and Juan de San Martín) who were appointed by the future Catholic monarchs, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. It was originally (ostensibly) intended primarily to identify heretics; its aim, to maintain Christian orthodoxy. But it became an effective instrument of state power by replacing the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control.

Over its course, the Inquisition prosecuted an estimated 150,000 people for various offences. An estimated 3,000–5,000 were turned over to the state for execution, particularly in the initial 50 years, mostly by burning at the stake. Other punishments included penance and public flogging, exile, enslavement on galleys, and prison terms ranging from several years to life. In many of these punishments an important motive was the confiscation of all the victims’ property.

As Monty Python observed, “nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.” And nobody expected it to last 356 years.

My take on new #Orwellian #geopolitical #dystopia here

Un ouvrage général, mais malgré tout pointu, sur les notions de #fascisme, #nazisme et de #RégimesAutoritaires. L'auteur parvient à couvrir, en un peu moins de 300 pages, et à l'aide d'une abondante bibliographie, les traits qui définissent ces #idéologies du début du 20è siècle. Tout comme l'a fait Philippe Burrin, dans le livre précédemment lu, il met le doigt sur ce qui distingue l' #autoritarisme du #totalitarisme, le fascisme d'autres formes d' #ExtrêmeDroite.

Cette lecture permet aussi de montrer que notre époque, même si elle présente des similarités avec cette période, s'en différencie aussi énormément. Le monde n'est plus du tout celui du tournant entre le 19e et le 20e siècle. Comme on dit, l'histoire ne repasse jamais deux fois les plats, mais elle hoquette. La détérioration de nos démocraties post-Seconde Guerre Mondiale n'a rien à voir avec les balbutiements des démocraties d'il y a 100 ans.

Il va falloir s'y faire, mais nous ne vivons pas du tout un nouveau début de 20e siècle. Nous sommes au début du 21e siècle et nous devrons trouver nos propres termes pour décrire et définir les régimes dits #illibéraux, voire les nouvelles #dictatures qui émergent aux USA, en Europe de l'Est et qui semblent plus que frémir en Europe de l'Ouest. Après tout, nos ancêtres ont bien dû en faire de même pour faire sens des régimes fascistes, nazis, catholico-conservateurs et soviétiques, sans précédents, auxquels ils ont dû faire face.

D'ailleurs, en cela, ils ont été aidés par les promoteurs-mêmes de ces régimes. Aujourd'hui, l'extrême-droite n'a plus grand-chose à voir avec celle des années 70-80. Et d'ailleurs, les promoteurs de la nouvelle #GuerreCulturelle contre le #wokisme et le #gauchisme, se qualifient d' #altright ou de #FarRight . Sans se limiter à leurs propres auto-qualifications, je pense qu'elles peuvent nous aider à identifier ces phénomènes politiques. Est-ce que Trump est fasciste? Et Victor Orban? Vladimir Putin? Tayip Erdogan? Et Benjamin Netnayahou? En tous cas, il manque plusieurs critères pour classer leurs personnalités et leurs méthodes dans cette catégorie. Ça ne signifie pas pour autant qu'ils soient moins nocifs et dangereux que des #Mussolini, #Hitler, #Stalin, #Pétain, #Salazar, #Franco de cette époque. Mais pour les combattre et résister, il va falloir les étudier dans le contexte actuel et pas simplement tenter des décalques entre eux et les leaders totalitaires ou autoritaires des années 1920.

Cependant, ce genre de lecture reste essentielle, à mon sens, pour nous aider à faire sens de notre époque, parce que, comme déjà dit, l'histoire fait des crises de hoquet et qu'il faut voir quels sont les éléments philosophiques, moraux, idéologiques et politiques qui restent, se transmettent, renaissent ou se renouvellent. Et à quoi ils peuvent contribuer à donner naissance.

Sorry, aber meine Geduld gegenüber auch linkem #Relativismus ist nicht unbegrenzt. Von #Stalin über #Mao und #Polpot bis zur deutschen #RAF zieht sich eine Blutspur auch linksdualistischer Gewalt und oft auch #Antisemitismus durch die Geschichte bis ins Heute. Aus dem fossilistisch-linksdualistischen #Venezuela ist ein Viertel der Bevölkerung geflohen! „Links“ ist nicht einfach „gut“, sondern benötigt ebenfalls ehrliche Selbstreflexion! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/fossiler-ressourcenfluch-verschwoerungsmythen-auch-venezuela-bestaetigt-die-these/

k9 - combatiente zeigt geschichtsbewußt: Der Große Diktator

Kurz nach dem Deutschen Einmarsch In# Polen begann #Chaplin mit den Dreharbeiten für den „Großen Diktator“: In der Satire spielt Chaplin in einer Doppelrolle den Diktator Adenoid Hynkel von Tomanien und den kleinen jüdischen Friseur aus dem Getto. Es war der erste US-Film, der gegen #Nazi-Deutschland unmißverständlich Position bezog. Chaplin ließ sich weder von ablehnender Haltung #Hollywoods noch von den Protesten aus England, wo man an das Münchner Abkommen glaubte, von seinem Vorhaben abbringen. Der Film wäre nie entstanden, wenn er ihn nicht selbst produziert und finanziert hätte. Nach der Machtergreifung wurden in Dt. alle Chaplin-Filme verboten. In #Italien wurde der Film noch lange gekürzt, um die Gefühle von #Mussolinis Witwe nicht zu verletzen. In dem Spanien General #Francos blieb er bis zu dessen Tod 1975 verboten.

Im Machtbereich des Deutschen Reiches gab es allerdings verschiedene Kopien unterschiedlicher Sprachen. Josip Broz #Titos Partisanen gelang es, einen deutschen Propaganda-Film in einem Wehrmachtskino gegen eine dieser Kopien auszutauschen.

Diesen Anti-Hitler-Film wollte die US-amerikanische Zensurbehörde zuerst nicht genehmigen. Grund, die Deutschen hätten mit #Wirtschaftssanktionen gedroht. Die Konservativen #Amerikas unterschätzten anfangs Hitlers Machtwahn und sahen ihn als großartigen Politiker, als Verbündeten in Europa gegen #Stalin. Chaplins Film passte ihnen nicht ins Konzept.
