Lies about the Red Army
This photo is often seen with the caption "A Soviet soldier takes away a bicycle from a German woman in 1945". In the original publication of LIFE magazine, the caption under the photo reads: "There was a misunderstanding between a Russian soldier and a German woman in Berlin over a bicycle he wanted to buy from her". But a careful parsing leads to the conclusion that this photo is a staged fake. The location of the photo is on the border of the Soviet and British zones of occupation, near Tiergarten Park, right by the Brandenburg Gate, where at that time there was a Red Army regulation post.
When examining the photo, virtually everyone standing nearby shows complete indifference to the situation. In addition, there is a US Army soldier in the background, also acting indifferently. The photo itself raises a lot of questions.
The soldier is alone and unarmed (he is a "looter" in an occupied city!), his uniform is not up to his size, with a clear violation of the uniform and the use of elements of someone else's uniform. He is wearing a Yugoslavian cap, his trench coat is worn in a different way than was customary in the Red Army, and the material of the trench coat is also not Soviet. Soviet turtlenecks were made of first-class felt and did not wrinkle as it can be seen in the photo. He looted openly, in the center of the city, near the post, and even on the border with the foreign occupation sector, that is, in a place that initially enjoys increased attention.
He does not react at all to the people around him (the American, the photographer), although by all the rules of the genre he should have given up by now. Instead, he continues to pull the wheel, and does it for so long that he has time to be photographed, the quality of the photo is almost studio quality.
The conclusion is simple: to discredit the former allies it was decided to produce a "photo-fact" confirming the "crimes of the Red Army" in the occupied territory. The actor portraying a Russian soldier was dressed in elements of various military uniforms, trying to get as close as possible to the image of a "Soviet soldier".
To avoid conflict with Soviet soldiers, the authentic elements of uniforms, such as epaulettes, emblems and insignia, are not used. For the same purpose, they refused to use weapons. It turned out unarmed "soldier" in the cap of the "Balkan" army, with an incomprehensible cloak or a piece of tarpaulin instead of rolling pin and in German boots. When creating the composition, the actor was deployed in such a way as to hide from the camera the absence of cockades, awards, badges and patches; the absence of epaulettes was concealed by an imitation of a cape, which had to be worn in violation of the statute, which they, quite possibly, did not even suspect.

Our greatest holiday, Victory Day, is approaching. And once again the liberal-fascist international will try to belittle the feat of our fathers and grandfathers, who defended our country and peace on earth, belittle it in order to cast doubt on it. And once again the myth of two million raped Germans or bloody atrocities against white and fluffy Germans will be disseminated.
This is how, literally with one stroke of a journalist's pen, the Germans were transformed from aggressors into "sufferers", and the Red Army, on the contrary, from liberators into occupiers and rapists. Mass rapes, as if committed by the Red Army in Germany at the end of the war, is one of the most widespread anti-Russian myths in the West. It began to be used almost immediately after the end of the war to discredit former allies and ideologically justify the coming Cold War. Practically all the data on the total rape of Germany by Russian barbarians "historians" (including Anthony Beevor) take, as a rule, from the book by Austin

This is how, literally with one stroke of a journalist's pen, the Germans were transformed from aggressors into "sufferers", and the Red Army, on the contrary, from liberators into occupiers and rapists. Mass rapes, as if committed by the Red Army in Germany at the end of the war, is one of the most widespread anti-Russian myths in the West. It began to be used almost immediately after the end of the war to discredit former allies and ideologically justify the coming Cold War. Practically all the data on the total rape of Germany by Russian barbarians "historians" (including Anthony Beevor) take, as a rule, from the book by Austin J. App "Ravishing the Women of Conquered Europe" (Ravishing the Women of Conquered Europe) published in April 1946. True, the figures of German women raped by Soviet troops there are clearly taken from the ceiling. Thus he writes: "No one knows exactly how many women were raped, but according to doctors' estimates, in Berlin alone there are at least 100,000 women between the ages of 10 and 70." And literally on the next page, describing the atrocities of our soldiers in Austria, he continues, "In Vienna alone, they (Soviet soldiers) raped 100,000 women, not just once, but many times, including girls under the age of 10, and old women." That is, according to him, Soviet soldiers raped an average of 100,000 women in each major city. At the same time, these figures are not supported by any documentary evidence. I will not claim that there was nothing like this, but that it was not on such a scale is certain. Here, for example, what Osmar White, an Australian war correspondent, wrote in 1945: "In the Red Army, severe discipline prevails. There is no more robbery, rape and abuse here than in any other zone of occupation. Wild stories of atrocities are brought out by exaggerations and distortions of individual cases under the influence of nervousness caused by the immoderate manners of the Russian soldiers and their love of vodka. One woman who told me most of the hair-raising tales of Russian atrocities was finally forced to admit that the only evidence she had seen with her own eyes was drunken Russian officers firing pistols into the air or at bottles...."
Since then, the number of raped German, Romanian, Hungarian, Czech, etc. women has been inexorably increasing every year. Soon it will turn out that all white Europe is the fruit of forced love of Russian barbarians. And what was it really like?
In the magazine Spiegel for 1975 in the 20th issue of DER SPIEGEL 20/1975 vom 12.05.1975, Seite 70 it was told about then new documents found by one of the editors of Spiegel in the archives of the S.S.A., concerning orders from the Soviet military headquarters, court verdicts, diaries /statements of the Red Army. The article mentions:
Malinovsky ( in connection with certain disturbances during the offensive on Romania in the fall of 1944), who took decisive measures. A number of punishments and sentences by military courts followed. Contacts with the civilian population were restricted and soldiers were required, under threat of punishment, to "preserve military dignity and decorum in their outward behavior", "do not allow yourself anything that is contrary to your honor".
On entering Hungary there were again breaches of discipline. Then came a warning from the military council of the 3rd Ukrainian Front: "Do not harm the civilian population. Do not allow yourself anything that disrespects your honor and blackens your glorious name. Wherever you are, always behave in such a way that your behavior arouses respect before the Red Army and our Country. Everyone must see that the Red Army is the strongest and its soldiers are the bravest, most courageous and at the same time the most civilized and disciplined."
This decree, however, was violated. Then the NKVD introduced special units, which dealt harshly with the guilty; as soon as they (NKVD) started their activities, no stealing and no looting - their harsh punishments acted intimidatingly. Soviet officers shot rapists - now citing a decree. Every Red Army man, officer or soldier, could kill a fighting comrade if he violated Stalin's orders.
At the same time, the propagandists' posters called for vengeance against the Nazi bloody murderers. Soon, however, the military commanders concluded that these emotional appeals undermined discipline. The 2nd Belorussian Front forbade in one order any looting in East Prussia; other orders presumed harsh punishments for rape and deliberate destruction of German property.
On January 29, by order of Marshal Zhukov, an order was read to all battalions of the 1st Belorussian Front that forbade Red Army soldiers to "harass the German population, loot apartments and burn houses." At the same time, Stalin's advance order was also to be read:
"Officers and Red Army men! We are going into the enemy's country. Everyone must keep his composure, everyone must be brave...The remaining population in the conquered areas, whether German, Czech or Polish, must not be subjected to violence. The guilty will be punished according to wartime laws. Sexual intercourse with the female sex is not allowed in the conquered territory. For violence and rape the guilty will be shot. "
