Talk:Anastasy Vonsiatsky

message: One source say the following (Russian):
"В нашем распоряжении оказались уникальные номера эмигрантской газеты "Новая Заря", выходившей в Сан-Франциско, штат Калифорния. В субботних номерах, датированных 23 и 30 сентября 1961 года, на первой полосе была опубликована обширная статья Анастасия Вонсяцкого "Мадридские Багратионы".
Ее автор - известный публицист и общественный деятель, поручик Белой армии. В 20-е годы перебрался на жительство в Америку. Играл значительную роль в консолидации русской эмиграции в Харбине. Во время II-й Мировой войны был интернирован американскими властями и осужден на шесть лет. Причина - крайне правые взгляды, которых придерживался Вонсяцкий. После освобождения выступил одним из учредителей Общероссийского монархического фронта. Умер в 1965 году.
This contradicts the article. Present text is probably based on the cited book:
"The Great Conspiracy: The Secret War Against Soviet Russia (1946)". But this book is a well-known falsification, just as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Biophys 20:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The foundation and structure of the Russian fascist movement in
the United States was in essentials the work of its leader Anastasi
Anastasievich Vonsiatsky. He was the son of a colonel in the
gendarmerie who had been murdered by Polish revolutionaries in
1910. In November 1917, as a junior officer in the Nikolaevsky
Cavalry School, he joined the Volunteer Army then being formed
and fought throughout the Civil War until the Army's evacuation
of the Crimea in 1920.As emigrt he attached himself to the militant
anti-communist Brotherhood of the Russian Truth, for which
he provided funds after his marriage to a rich American. In the
early thirties he became convinced that the existing political emigrt
organizations no longer met the requirements of the day, largely
because the older generation were unable to show the younger
people a promising road to the liberation and transformation of
Russia. But he did not differentiate his movement from that of the
Whites as sharply as did the Russian fascists in the Far East. He and
his party did indeed wish to learn from the mistakes of the Whites,
'who never found real contact with the people', but he was also
anxious to establish that Russian fascism was 'the heir of the White
movement'. Heroic deeds, such as the legendary march across the
ice to Ekaterinodar, in which Vonsiatsky had himself taken part,
seemed to him peculiarly well suited to inspire the fascists with
rnilitancy.8 When, in May 1933, impressed by the spectacular
Nazi triumph in Germany, he founded the All-Russian Fascist
Organization (VFO), he looked on it as the continuation of the
White movement. The new party had its headquarters in Putnam
(Connecticut), and soon built up an entire network of branch
organizations throughout America. In August 1933 the first issue
of Fashisf appeared. It proposed, as Lenin's Iskra had done, to
establish contact with all Russian 'activist' emigres, to penetrate
Russia as the voice of the 'national revolutionary leadership', and
to become the nucleus of the new mass fascist movement.
Vonsiatsky, who quickly became the focus of an extraordinary
leader cult, introduced the first issue of his paper with an 'open
letter' to the principal party body, the 'Russian Fascist Supreme
Staff', in which he set down guiding lines for VFO activities. In
contrast to Rodzaevsky and the fascists in Manchuria, who made it
their first task to draft a programme, Vonsiatsky rejected any kind
of political 'programme-mongering', for this would only bring
abstract ideas to the consideration of the Russian reality. He devoted
his entire attention to the 'tactical struggle for the liberation
of the Russian people'. He wanted to reach the people who, embittered
by hunger, by life in the kokhoz, and by the coercive
measures of the government, were rising again and again in
sporadic outbreaks of unrest, to encourage their protest with
inflammatory battle-cries. He was convinced, above all, that in an
archetypal peasant country like Russia, fascism would have to seek
support among the peasants, to co-ordinate their resistance to
collectivization and transform it into a 'national popular movement'
led by the fascists.
With this in mind, Vonsiatsky put forward three principal
slogans for fascist propaganda: protection of private property,
distribution of kolkhoz and sovkhoz land among the peasants, and
freedom of trade in agricultural products. This programme indicates
the high importance which Vonsiatsky attached to tactics.
What he added by way of fascist theory to these and similar concrete
slogans in the course of time consisted in essentials of borrowings
from his like-minded comrades in Manchuria. In an interview
given to a Belgrade paper at the end of 1933 he admitted that he
and his colleagues had chosen the title 'fascist' primarily because
it was popular in the Soviet Union as a synonym for every kind of
resistance. Since the Soviet rulers branded everything hostile to
them as fascist, they were themselves the best propagandists for
fascism among the discontented population.9
The first goal of the VFO was to create a 'united fascist front'
within the emigration; but the attempt to turn the existing political
emigre organizations into fascist bodies, and to bring their leaders
together as the general staff of the national revolution, was a
failure. Vonsiatsky made a trip to Europe in 1933 to meet the
leaders of the various emigre groups, but the only agreement
reached was one for close cooperation between the VFO, the
Russian National-Socialist Movement (RNSD) in Germany, and
the League of Young Russians. For the rest, he had to be content
with the setting up of VFO sections in various places in North and
South America, Europe, and the Near East. In these circumstances
it is easy to understand why Vonsiatsky, 'in the name of 2000 VFO
members', welcomed Rodzaevsky's proposal to merge their two
parties. Early in 1934 he and his colleague I. D. Kunle were sent by
the Supreme Council of the VFO to the Far East to negotiate the
agreement. Biophys 20:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "With the existence of Germany and Adolph Hitler, as a fortified base, and directing center for all anti-Communist movements, the beginning of a war by the U.S. S. R. with Germany can change with lightening-like rapidity into the end of International Communism and the victory of the Russian National Revolution."
"The Russian National Revolutionary Party, of which I am the leader, does not support either Germany's or Japan's ambition for hegemony in Europe or the Far East.
"The Germans and the Japanese have never made clear their attitude toward a replacement of the present Stalinist rule by a Russian National Government.
"The sole aim of our organization is to return Russia to a free people with a government elected by the people, of the people and for the people.
"Our intention is to form in Russia a truly DEMOCRATIC government.
"Our Party is not anti-Semitic.
"Only in the United States can we enjoy freedom of action and thought within the laws of the country.
"I HEREWITH STATE EMPHATICALLY THAT THE ACTIVITIES OF OUR ORGANIZATION ARE AGAINST THE PRESENT SOVIET GOVERNMENT ALONE"
