The "marriage" contract between Damascus and the Kremlin, or how, back in the fifties, Syria, like a chaste bride, fell into the arms of the communist empire. Kalashnikov assault rifles, tanks, missiles, air defense systems, and KGB agents. What the totalitarian regime of the USSR gifted its daughter-in-law for decades. How the dictatorship of the Assad clan began. How, as a result of a coup d'état, Hafez Assad, the father of the fugitive Bashar Assad, seized power in this Middle Eastern country back in 1970. He persecuted the opposition, cracked down on enemies, and tortured people in prisons, but despite this, he was always a welcome guest in Moscow. And he boasted that after each trip he would bring back no less than a billion from there. Hawez Assad brought money and military aid from the Union, and the Soviet embassy sent zinc coffins with dead Russians who became victims of Moscow's aggressive policy every week. But military contingents, support for the dictator, blood and games of Soviet special services are the shadow side of cooperation between the Kremlin and Damascus. To the general public, communist propaganda enthusiastically talked about something else - friendship of peoples and joint conquest of space. Today, in the days when the long-standing regime of dictator Bashar Assad fell in Syria, and Russian troops fled so "majesticly" before the onslaught of the rebels that they did not even have time to take out their "analog" equipment, we tell about the history of relations between Moscow and Damascus. This blog is the answer to the question of what the Russians were doing there and how the great strategist Vladimir Putin managed to lose in a few days what had been built for decades. ⚠️ Urgent collection for a car for the 111th brigade, which works in the Pokrovsky direction https://secure.wayforpay.com/donate/d... --------------- Subscribe to our telegram: https://t.me/The_Documentalist --------------- ❤️ Do you like what we do?
