Unfortunately, even within our country, there was no clear, well-organized national policy. Open nationalism was not allowed in the country. However, in the republics, the titular nations restricted the advancement of representatives of non-titular nations in all areas of work and service. I was born and raised in Georgia. The Georgian people are a wonderful people, but those who managed to climb into the elite somehow became infected with Nazism. For an Ossetian to achieve any success, they had to Georgianize their surname. That is why, like any other Ossetian, all my relatives on my mother’s side changed their surname from Dzigoyte to Dzebisashvili, and on my father’s side to Chigoshvili. I had to serve in Azerbaijan for about 6 years. There, they hated Armenians. No Armenian with an Armenian surname could be found. The situation was roughly the same in Central Asia. And the central authorities paid no attention to any of this. The national policy was aimed at creating a unified “Soviet people,” and the culture of our peoples was supposed to be national in form and socialist in content. In other words, we rejected the national culture created by the peoples over centuries. And we got what we got: the instant collapse of the Soviet Union and rivers of blood that still flow without stopping. In my opinion, one of the serious reasons for the rise of Russophobia and Nazism in the former Soviet republics is the underestimation of the national pride of the peoples of the Soviet Union by the central authorities. This is also one of the serious reasons for the bloodshed in Ukraine.

Great advice, thank yoU!

Thank you! What impressed you most out there?

Thanks! I will try to do so in the following articles.

The introduction of the institution known as ‘political workers’ is associated with Trotsky. When creating the Red Army, there was distrust toward the command staff because officers were mostly from former privileged classes. They were initially called ‘commissars’ and had equal rights with commanders. Later, they became political deputies to the commanders, known as ‘political workers.’ Their main task was the political education of the personnel in companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, and so on. This education took various forms and methods, not limited to lectures alone. The work was quite complex and diverse. It would take me several days to describe the organization of party-political work during combat duty in the country’s air defense forces. I served as a political worker from 1958 until 1981, from senior lieutenant to colonel, in various locations across the country, including Cuba and the Far North. It was standard officer service, nothing extraordinary. I believe I’ve answered your question.

Hello! Thank you for your interest! I post my grandfather’s articles, so I pick up the pictures myself. I think that picture on the 1st part looked really stupid. I’m thinking of changing it so as not to alienate people.

Thanks!

I was born in 1930. Many people say that an old person сan’t post articles. I agree. My grandson helps me put it on the Internet.

I already posted this article, but it was deleted :( I’m sorry if I’m doing something wrong

Thank you for reading my articles! I will try to post the second part as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for your interest! I will try to post a sequel as soon as possible!
