On behalf of the members and friends of the Canadian Friends of the Soviet
People gathered at the Friendship House in Toronto, Canada to celebrate the
Great October Revolution of 1917, and to carry on the traditions of our fathers
and mothers who in 1918 formed the "Hands Off Russia Committee" - to show
support to the Russian people against the intervention by 14 countries (including
Canada) to try and drown the "Baby in the Cradle" as was urged by former
leader, Winston Churchill of England.
The Soviet Union lost close to 27,000,000 million people in this struggle to the
death! You Messrs Medvedev and Putin banned the November 7th celebrations
and instead you promoted and allowed these Nazis to march unmolested which
even in a capitalist country like Canada the government would never allow this
event to ever take place.
Both of you are spitting on the graves of the Soviet people who fought and died
so that you could live! Your own people and the whole of mankind who are
struggling for peace, condemn you both and you shall never be forgiven - even
by the Canadian bourgeois and Canadian WW II veterans.
Here is a direct quote from this newspaper: "These Russian neo-nazis draw
their support and encouragement from Vladimir Putin's rule as part of the
present leadership in the Kremlin to rebuild a strong Russian state as was
before 1917."
We strongly condemn this
present neo-nazi policy by
the present leadership of
Russia!
History will never forget or
forgive you Mr. Medvedev
and Mr. Putin!

Dear sir:
On behalf of the Editorial Board of Northstar Compass (English, French, Spanish and
Russian Editions) that is read in 67 countries of the world (including Poland) and on behalf
of the International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with the Soviet People, of which
Professor Zbigniew Wiktor is a founding member as well asanhonored member of both
Executives - we protest the harassment and threats against this Professor whose
publications of his books, analytical documentations that were published, are known in
many countries of the world.
This political harassment is against the present Constitution of Poland as well as against
the Charter of the United Nations Organization, of which Poland is a member.
We published this Appeal in the December issue of Northstar Compass - urging all
readers in the world to send letters of protest against this political harassment and against
the guarantee for freedom of speech that is written in the Polish Constitution.
We urge readers of
Northstar Compass to write letters
of protest to President of Poland:
