From Fr Victor Potapov, Rector of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Washington DC.
“On June 1, 1945, at the conclusion of the Second World War, in the town of Lienz, Austria, over 20,000 Cossacks (soldiers, women, and children) were rounded up and handed over to death in the Soviet Union. This year marks the 70th anniversary of this tragic event”.
A group called “Traditional Orthodoxy (Canonical)” posted this. Note well that Potapov doesn’t mention that the unit involved (15 SS Cossack Cavalry Corps) was part of the Waffen-SS and had participated in enormities and war crimes in Yugoslavia and Northern Italy in so-called “anti-partisan operations” (I have this from Serbian and Italian acquaintances to back the dry official accounts in German records). Furthermore, most of those repatriated to the USSR weren’t killed. They were traitors as they took up arms against their Motherland and people; most served 8-10-year sentences in correctional camps (just as the USA imprisoned traitors, so did the USSR). In short, Potapov lies again. Don’t forget, he is/was an official of a CIA front, Radio Liberty; he holds/held a “red” US official passport (that is, he’s exempt from customs searches as a responsible US official, not merely a US Government employee). He has friends/family who were part of KONR, a Nazi collaborationist group that went under CIA sponsorship after 1947 due to the West German “Gehlen Org’s” influence. Potapov has links to anti-patriotic pro-Western filth like K M Aleksandrov (a Vlasov apologist)… do note that the Russian government allows Aleksandrov to spout his shit freely in Russia (I wonder how much Langley money Aleksandrov gets via Potapov).
This unit committed many enormities against Serbs… their hatred of communism blinded them. Besides that, the British troops who rounded up these war criminals (most were traitors in the legal sense) had just liberated Mauthausen and weren’t inclined to be merciful to SS troops (as these collaborators were). There’s a crank and false image that goes about Jordanville circles “picturing” this incident. I’ve talked to two British vets who told me that this image is misleading (they used stronger language, but I don’t want to deal with a lawsuit from Potapov et al… they’ve done so in the past to others who contradicted their notional tale). “He said… she said”… you can believe the image… you can believe the vets. I believe the vets. No liturgy was going on when the operation took place. Also, note that the image expunged all SS symbols. Always keep in mind that pro-American Hard Rightwing apologists like Potapov NEVER mention the SS connection… that’s important. On 25 December 1997, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared that all sentences against these collaborators were valid, legal, justified, and truthful, and that there’d be NO rehabilitation or pardon for any of them. That is, Potapov defends scumbag criminals because they were anti-communist! Russia refuses to whitewash their crimes and perfidy… neither should we.
Note well that Potapov attacks communists and defends Nazis (indeed, for anyone who belonged to the SS or to KONR was such). I find that reprehensible. I find it disgusting that he did so in public and on Church property. We have traitors in ROCOR ranks. I rest my case.
