Don’t even bother Dima. I deleted that comment. I can tolerate a lot of things here, but I will not tolerate racism.

Well done, Sean: It’s one thing when people disagree over various issues, but it’s quite different when laws are broken. In most countries (including Russia) racism is qualified as a hate crime.

“Jewish Heroes of the Soviet Union

Just right now there is a fantastic exihibition in the “Jewish Museum Vienna” http://www.jmw.at/en/ about the 150 Jewish recipients of the Gold Star. The published also a good booklet with all the biographies and photographs (about USD 10,-). Here an introduction by the museum:

“12 March, 2002 – 16 June, 2002

TOWARDS THE LIGHT OF DAWN
Heroes of the Soviet Union
In the Second World War, 1.5 million Jews fought with the Soviet Union and the Allies on the Russian Front, in Europe and Africa, in Near and Far East, at sea and in the air. There were 500,000 Jews in the Red Army alone, of whom 200,000 died in battle.

Thousands of Russian soldiers of Jewish origin showed their courage in the struggle against the German army, and around 160,000 of them received medals and awards for bravery. More than 150 of them received the highest decorations – the Golden Star and the honorary title “Hero of the Soviet Union”. Three of them – D. A. Dragunski, M. J. Katukov and J. W. Smuskevich – were given the award twice.

During and after the war, anti-Semites in the Soviet Union would assert that Jews had not fought at the Front but had stayed in the background awaiting its outcome. They even had a name for it: the “Tashkent Front”. The 150 or so biographies selected for this exhibition tell a different story.

The artist and curator Oz Almog uses the scant material at his disposal to create a bizarre installation full of pathos, underscored by dramatic lighting and floral decorations typically seen on war memorials. The result is a visual and acoustic panorama that captures the spirit of the time, a “hall of fame”, so to speak, of Jewish heroes.

Curator: Oz Almog
Architecture: Alexander Kubik
Design: Brigitte Appl”

I have read somewhere, that there have been only 2 cavaliers of the “Order of Glory” of Jewish origin – is this true?

Regards from Vienna”

That’s a line from the Nazi-Joseph Goebbels propaganda machine during WWII.

An Israeli Red Army vet.

If he’s a basketball fan, he must’ve been enthusiastically watching the Maccabi Tel Aviv-CSKA Moscow European League final (CSKA Moscow being the decades old sports club of the army).

A friend of mine just got back from Tel Aviv. He told me the city had a Super Bowl kind of spirit when that game was played this past Sunday.

This guy’s proof that the far left and the far right are compatible, just so long as the leftism and rightism are statist, of course. He also is an example of how the real stiffener of the Jewish population of Israel are all the ex-Soviet emigres; without them, that country would be short about a million people.
