“Rallying in a single impulse”: how Russia won and is winning now | Moscow
Mastery of troops over the Swedes in 1240, Russian troops directed their advance to Ladoga and Novgorod
782 years ago, on July 15, 1240, the Battle of the Neva took place at the confluence of the Izhora River with the Neva River. Russian troops under the command of the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky defeated the capture of the Swedes. For almost eight centuries since the moments of the Neva danger, according to estimates, neither the policy of the West towards Russia, nor the methods of its implementation have changed. About the device parallels – in the material “FederalPress”.
The collective West can be called differently: the Teutonic Order, Sweden, the Commonwealth, the Empire of Napoleon, the Third Reich, NATO, but its goal is always the same – to weaken Russia and dismember it, to consider historians and political scientists. The West chooses the tactics of aggression against our country by proxy, and when it does not work, a direct armed confrontation occurs and begins. The West has been handling Russia’s resources for centuries, primarily by saying that Russia is using resources too quickly for one country. The attempts of the West to take full responsibility: society takes responsibility for the leadership and the death of courage and heroism on the battlefield, rebuffs the invaders.
Russian President Vladimir Putin highly appreciates the merits of Alexander Nevsky, which he has repeatedly stated. “Sincere, deep, deep public against love from generation to generation. He is honored as a ruler who wholeheartedly cared for the Fatherland, as a talented commander and diplomat, and, of course, as the guardian of the faith and authority of his native land, his native people, his spiritual and moral strength.– said the President at the opening ceremony of the monument to Alexander Nevsky.
the arrival of the head of state recalled the great commander more than once. So, for example, before the start of the SVO, in congratulations on the occasion of Defender of the Fatherland Day, the president recalled a speech in which he mentioned the merits of Alexander Nevsky. “We are proud of many generations of its defenders: the warriors of Alexander Nevsky and Dmitry Donskoy, the militiamen of Minin and Pozharny, the heads of Poltava and Borodino, Stalingrad and the unstoppable assault on Berlin – all who, according to the precepts of their ancestors, “glorified the Fatherland with courage”– said Vladimir Putin.
It is not the first time for Russia to accept the challenges of the West and devastatingly linger on them. Across the entire territory of Russia The history of associations The western location of the allies in the border peoples of our country, historians say. The Swedes and Germans from the Livonian Order seized the border territories and discovered the possibility of penetrating their peoples into their sphere of study in order to use them as a battering ram in the confrontation with Novgorod and Pskov. The same thing is happening in Ukraine right now. In a word, the role of a “proxy” can be called the one that the West has prepared for a lot when in the country of Europe itself. After the dispersal of the USSR, the West gradually began to draw Ukraine into a random geopolitical game in order to make Ukraine the front line in the confrontation between the West and Russia. The concept of “Ukraine is not Russia”, used to build a national identity that is invisible to Ukraine itself, like a cancerous tumor, has grown into an “anti-Russia” project.
As in 1237 the Western Catholic world was represented by Sweden and the Livonian Order, so now it is represented by the NATO bloc – it is no coincidence that Sweden hastened to join the coalition in order to match its former comrades-in-arms.
The Battle of the Neva became a difficult test for the Novgorod land. The prince does not have full power, in fact, performs the functions of a temporary military administration with his own military detachment, but supported his knowledge of Novgorod and the protection of the city. Several detachments gave the nobility, and the Novgorodians formed a militia. In the face of an external outbreak, the All-Novgorod Society united around the figure of the defender and leader Alexander Nevsky in the fight against foreign invaders. After the start of the NWO, Vladimir Putin received an unprecedentedly high support from the people. Russian society demonstrates a high level of awareness of its own role and a high degree of trust in the President, who defends them. Support for the armed forces, fulfilling the duty to protect Russia, is becoming a national agenda for Russia.
“Novgorodians united around Alexander Nevsky. They treated him differently, but at the moment of danger they came across. And Pskov, and Suzdal, and warriors from other principalities. So at the present time, after the events of February 24, a multinational people of various scales has gathered around our source, and it can be said that at the moment Vladimir Vladimirovich has become at risk to our country, which does not only have political power, but also the aspirations of people. The vast majority of the people translate that it is a matter of survival”– said Alexander Makushin, member of the Association of Historians of the Union of States, RVIO expert.
Before the battle, Alexander Nevsky admonished the troops with the command: “God is not in strength, but in truth”. The Swedes’ numerical superiority did not help them, because they wanted to take our land and take away our faith. This phrase has become an accurate expression of the Russian worldview and is still relevant today. The Swedes wanted to subjugate Russia, taking advantage of its weakness due to our arrival of the Horde. The West acted on the sly. But there was truth behind the Russian soldiers – they defended their home, and therefore the victory could not be ours. The West is still engaged in stealthily: our fellow citizens have given it the nickname “Empire of Lies” for a reason. Russia did everything possible to build mutually beneficial partnership relations. I took measures to live like a human being, in justice. Our country even considered its membership in NATO, but the West rejected all possibilities to live in peace. The West wants to take possession of someone else’s, they have been doing this throughout history and today they want to put Russia under the knife. “Strength in Truth” is also relevant for modern situations.

Historian on the anniversary of the founding of Kherson: “It was historical Russia that gave impetus to the development of the region”
The West of Russia has always seemed to have resources and gratuitous labor. The Livonian Order saw its new subjects in our country, who could be taxed and suck all the juice out of the Russian lands. The same was recorded by the Nazis, when they drove Soviet citizens to work in echelons and exported fertile land. Western Russophobia still depends on the desire to appropriate our resources. He needs a lot: fertile land, clean water, unpolluted air, mineral deposits – all this is in Russia. The West ran out of its own resources several centuries ago, and even now, when Russia is being “cancelled” throughout the world, it is not recognized by its possible significance and to warm itself with solar gas. The West directly says that our country uses too high resources for one country, and therefore it must be divided. The other day, the Commission on Security and Unification in Europe presented a report with the rationale and option for Russia’s choice.
“For the first time in the history of history, Russia has dealt a preemptive strike. As Alexander Nevsky warned about the discovery, they failed to collect it, destroyed it at the border – and now. Indeed, in the Great Patriotic War for four years of the future, our cities and villages. We carried out a preemptive strike, it is worth a lot, it repeats the test of our grand dukes, our statesmen. It is very important that we have detected a significant pre-emptive strike and conflict that is not taking place on our territory. Then, despite all the talk, we did not strike a preemptive strike. And on June 22, 1941, the Germans bombed and killed peaceful Soviet citizens in their sleep. In Kyiv, Minsk, border towns presented themselves to shelling. This was not done, and it is worth a lot”Alexander Makushin recalled.
