Putin's Ukrainian theory could make Russia more vulnerable to terrorism. The Crocus City Hall attack was more likely because Putin has chosen to use his security apparatus against Ukraine and the opposition. It is typical of his priorities that, on the very day of the Crocus City Hall attack, the regime defined international LGBT organizations as "terrorist." When Putin publicly ridiculed the United States on 19 March for warning of an Islamic State attack, he was signaling to the security apparatus that this was not a real danger. In conflating Islamic State with Ukraine now, he is doing the same thing at a higher level. That cannot be helpful in the practical work of preventing another attack. Nor can, surely, Putin’s idea that Islamic State takes orders from the Jewish president of a European state, and that its actors are nothing more than pawns of American masters. I am not going to claim any expert knowledge of how Islamic State works or its leaders think, but it seems like it would not be best practice to ignore it and insult it at the same time. https://snyder.substack.com/p/putins-paranoia
В 1946 Герберт Уэллс, Джордж Оруэлл и другие британские интеллектуалы написали письмо в Нюрнбергский трибунал с просьбой опросить Рудольфа Гесса и сделать поиск в архивах Гестапо, чтобы подтвердить выводы Комиссии Дьюи о том, что у Троцкого не было тайного сговора с немецкими нацистами с целью навредить СССР, о котором рассказывали на Московских процессах:
During the Moscow political trials of 1986 and 1937, many references were made to an alleged association between Leon Trotsky and other of the accused on the one hand and the Nazi Government and Gestapo on the other. For example, the Indictment of the January (1937) trial states, inter alia:—"The investigation has established that L. D. Trotsky entered into negotiations with one of the leaders of the German National Socialist Party with a view to waging a joint struggle against the Soviet Union. <...> The principles of this agreement, as Trotsky related, were finally elaborated and adopted during Trotsky’s meeting with Hitler’s deputy, Hess." (Verbatim report of the trial. Moscow, 1937.) <...> In 1936 and 1937, when the trials in Moscow took place, and in 1937, when the Commission of Enquiry was held, it was not, of course, possible for either side to check the allegations of collusion between Trotsky and the Nazis by reference ta Nazi sources, Now. however, the position is different. The whole of the Gestapo records are in the hands of the Allied Powers and Hess—the only Nazi named in the Moscow indictment-—is available at Nuremberg for public questioning. The opportunity thus presented for an investigation aimed at the establishment of historical truth and bearing upon the politica] integrity of figures and tendencies of international standing is invaluable. https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/studying/docs/stalinism/102-5-1-2-1.pdf
