Kurginyan: Unlike the Anglo-Saxons, the Russian Air Force does not bomb civilians

02.03.2022, Moscow.

The desire to kill civilians with impunity is alien to Russian and Soviet military culture, in contrast to that of the Anglo-Saxons, said philosopher, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergei Kurginyan in his original broadcast The Meaning of the Game published on March 1 on the movement’s YouTube channel.

Kurginyan reminded that the Red Army even in the conditions of total war with its mortal enemy did not carry out the large-scale bombing of cities, unlike the US and British air forces.

“The Russian Air Force (Soviet, post-Soviet) has never done what the Anglo-Saxons do with satisfaction,” the political scientist stressed.

Kurginyan recalled that during the Great Patriotic War the Soviet Air Force constantly fought the Luftwaffe for control of the air. The final victory was achieved by 1944.

“Then the Germans lost the air almost completely. And this was essentially the end of the German regular army,” the political scientist said. But he stressed that the Soviet Air Force used its dominance in the air in a completely different way than its allies in the anti-Hitler coalition.

“Our military culture, our military anthropology, if you will, finds this entrancing satisfaction derived from the possibility of killing and killing civilians with impunity completely alien. The apotheosis of such enthusiasm, of course, is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But this is only the apotheosis. It was preceded by the bombing of Dresden and not only that. And this apotheosis was passed down between generations,” Kurginyan said.

At the end of World War II, U.S. and British aircraft staged a massive air attack on Dresden. On February 13–15, 1945, several waves of bombing of the city were carried out. About two thousand aircraft participated in this attack.

The operation was planned in such a way that a fire tornado arose in the city, which caused more damage than the bombs themselves. Dresden was almost completely destroyed. According to various estimates, from 30 to 200 thousand people died in the attack on the city.

Most experts agree that there was no military sense in attacking Dresden. According to the Yalta agreements, the city was in the Soviet zone of occupation.
