In 1959, the “Short Course on the History of the CPSU (b)” was replaced by a new stationary textbook, “History of the CPSU,” edited by B.N. Ponomarev, which presented a new scheme of Russian history from the end of the 19th century. before the XX Congress of the CPSU.
In December 1962, speaking at the All-Union Conference of Historians, Ponomarev stated: “In 1938, A Short Course in the History of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was published. From that moment on, the history of the CPSU was squeezed into the Procrustean bed of Stalin’s schemes and formulas. “A Short Course” , essentially, obscured from researchers the theoretical treasury of Marxism-Leninism, the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin” (All-Union Meeting of Historians: Transcript. M., 1962. P. 19).

Khrushchev, received a denunciation from the secretary of the party committee of one of the Kolomna factories, Kh. E. Rubinchik: “I consider it necessary to inform the Moscow Committee that I know about very close and touching , the friendly relations that the now exposed Gorbulsky had with a member of the CPSU(b) Ponomarev, who now works in the apparatus of the Executive Committee of the Comintern. Gorbulsky spent days and nights with Ponomarev during his stay in Moscow, and came to Voskresensk several times. I don’t know whether Ponomarev reported this to his party organization” (TsAODM. F. 570. Op. 1. D. 11. L. 116). A few days later, the informer became secretary of the Kolomna district committee instead of the exposed Gorbulsky. The future academician B. N. Ponomarev, by a lucky chance, was not injured. In 1943 - 1944 deputy director

The year was 1933.
During the ten years that Stalin was in power, an exceptionally powerful top-secret party intelligence service was created.
The Department of Foreign Relations, which stood at the origins of this organization, remained the structure in charge of foreign policy affairs of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, as one of the structural divisions of the governing body of the party. It became that distracting structure about which over the next years the rumor would persist that it was this structure of the Central Committee that was engaged in intelligence work abroad.
Later, many departments of the Central Committee will appear, which will merge as structural units into the department of foreign policy activities of the party and which will be coordinated by a candidate member of the Presidium (Politburo) of the CPSU Central Committee, Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Boris Nikolaevich Ponomarev. But this work of his as part of the governing body of the party will be completely understandable and visible; she is for everyone, a “roof”, officialdom, emphasizing his practically inaccessibility... for all kinds of politicians. In addition, the position had all the outward signs of activity to strengthen the international communist and labor movement. Where that policy and that history took place, about which almost no one knows.
But we will return to 1933, when the biography Boris Nikolaevich Ponomarev written for official documents: born on January 4/17, 1905 in Zaraisk, now the Moscow region, in the family of an employee. In 1919 he volunteered to join the Red Army. In 1920–1923 on Komsomol and party work in Zaraysk: secretary of the regional committee and member of the bureau of the Ryazan provincial committee of the Komsomol, secretary of the factory party organization. In 1926 he graduated from Moscow State University, and in 1932 from the Institute of Red Professors. From 1926 to 1928 - at party work in Donbass, Turkmenistan. In 1932 he was appointed deputy director of the Historical-Party Institute of Red Professors. In 1934–1936 worked as director of the Party Institute under the Moscow Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. Since 1937 - in the executive committee of the Comintern, etc.
And now I’ll briefly explain: in the USSR almost all the heroes of books, encyclopedias and reference books were “Bolshevichized”, everyone was averaged out and adjusted to ready-made stamps - an almost mechanized, industrial process.
Boris Nikolaevich was born really in the family employee, his father, like many Jews, was an entrepreneur, and a successful one at that, and his mother... In fact, Boris Nikolaevich, as mentioned above, is the son of one of the Russian princes Gagarins. The love of this couple may have begun even before the marriage of Boris’s mother, but the prince was much older than his beloved, had a family and adult children. So they had no prospects for marriage. The desired child was conceived already when this young Jewish woman was married to Nikolai Ponomarev.
In 1919, 14-year-old Boris, together with his father, who had a fairly close relationship with Zabrezhnev, left for one of the Middle Eastern countries, where they stayed for several months and where Nikolai Ponomarev concluded a number of business deals. There, young Borya, in one of the centers for learning psychotechnical techniques of working with people, underwent special training that revealed his unique natural talents.
I can only add that the secrets he learned abroad would seem incredible, impossible, simply unreal to an ordinary person. Mysticism is not the last concept if we had to talk in detail about the time of his stay there; however, mystical miracles happened to this mysterious (to almost everyone) person later, much later...
Upon his return in 1920, 15-year-old Boris was officially assigned to Komsomol and then party work. Whereas in fact, during these years, already in Moscow, he studied in one of the structures of the Special Department of the OGPU. In a short period of time, he brilliantly graduated from the Faculty of History of Moscow State University and passed a number of external exams on knowledge of oriental languages and Romance languages. At the same time, starting in 1922, on the recommendation of Zabrezhnev, he began to work in Stalin’s new party structure, which later became party intelligence.
Even while he was studying at the gymnasium, he - along with Alexander Golovanov, who was on the Volga and other illegitimate children of aristocrats and nobles - was included by Imperial Intelligence in special list, which Count Kankrin handed over to Stalin. Which served as the basis for working in direct subordination to the outstanding genius - the Soviet leader.
In the short time they worked at the monastery, these two young people - Ponomaryov and Golovanov - reached the heights of professionalism and until the end of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's days they were his most reliable assistants.
In addition to the structural divisions named and described above, Ponomaryov and Golovanov implemented other innovations, which (some of them) no one is still aware of.
Let's take at least archives.
It has long been known that the archives of any state, as evidence of its history, are Achilles heel of this state. And with the help of scientists working under the direct supervision of Ponomarev, technologies were developed and introduced for the production of... “archival” documents that had a long history - even since the times of Byzantium! As a result of intense and painstaking work, an anthology of the Byzantine Library, brought by Sophia Paleolog, was created. And also most of the most important documents of Rus', and later of the Russian state... with the necessary edits and adjustments... with new, hitherto unknown facts…
The real archives - Ponomarev seemed to guess Stalin's thoughts - became the personal property of the leader. No one else had access to them!
It was then that the secret was revealed.” Seven Hills", which, on behalf of Emperor Alexander II, along with the history of the Russian state, was also studied by the great nobleman of the empire, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. But at the stage of learning these truths, revealed to a select few, he made a stop, understandable only to him, and... refused to write a book on the history of Rus', reporting this to the sovereign. Instead of this order, a passionate, soulful poem “The Bronze Horseman” was born, dedicated to the creator of the Russian state - Peter I.
“Archives” developed in secret laboratories of closed research institutes, when you get acquainted with them, really seem to be dilapidated or close to dilapidated documents. This is confirmed by experts who conduct certain chemical and physical studies! A unique methodology, just as the specialists themselves who worked in the structure of Stalin’s party intelligence were unique. The perfection of the technology for making counterfeits, which have been given for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, is such that they cannot be determined by any examination!!!
Doesn’t even this speak of the uniqueness of Russian people, who have surpassed scientists from all over the world in understanding the world?! Or take, for example, the super-project of the 20th century, developed, calculated and tested in the conditions of the party intelligence laboratory - construction of a bridge between the Russian mainland and its land of Alaska. A project commissioned by the scientist by Stalin himself. By the way, this idea arose in the minds of brilliant Russian scientists much earlier, even during the times of the Russian Empire... Yes, what unimaginable projects were developed!
As for the new-old “archives,” they, having left the walls of the laboratories, immediately became the property of the Soviet state. Then they smoothly became the property of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (CPSU) and much later - the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Other “archives” were included in the Russian State Archive, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs archives, the Ministry of Defense, and so on.
What was faked?? First of all, all the archives of the intelligence services of the empire and the USSR, as well as state construction, data on geology and the bowels of the earth, promising concepts for the development of certain fundamental and applied research in domestic science.
Looking ahead to close this topic, I will say that in the 80s of the 20th century, real archives, those that were located after Stalin’s death under the watchful eye of Ponomarev, were discovered and ended up in the Order overseas and in the Group on the banks of the Thames. These two organizations periodically release information about our actual history (naturally, for their own benefit) to their intelligence services, which then gradually distribute information to former Soviet and Russian so-called dissidents, who use this information.
John Erickson, a professor at the University of Edinburgh, deeply respected by our Ministry of Defense, and others use these same documents without a twinge of conscience. Everything is planned, everything is coordinated and is under the strict coordination of the Order and the Group.
History is still falsified, the truth slumbers in secret caches.
...It was from the second half of the 20s of the 20th century that party intelligence, which introduced residents of influence in the Order and Group, was able to direct many processes in its own interests.
So, after Roosevelt came to power, Golovanov, together with his experts, managed to develop and bring to the attention of the United States and, of course, the Order, the idea of the need to create a consolidated special organization from various special forces of the country - a kind of prototype of the future Central Intelligence Agency.
When the US intelligence unit (later the CIA) was developed in the depths of party intelligence, it was envisaged that it should consist of an operational-strategic directorate, which would determine the tasks of obtaining information through human intelligence forces, carry out covert operations, counterintelligence support for undercover activities, and engage in the fight against drugs and terrorism.
The structure is as follows: the directorate should consist of a foreign intelligence unit, which organizes the work of operational departments, which, in turn, are divided into two groups. The first is the geography department, which has divisions for the Soviet Union and its allies, the Middle East and South Asia, East Asia, Africa and Latin America; the second department has divisions in the following areas of activity: foreign resources (undercover and operational work in the United States), international activities (planning and implementation of military and other secret operations), collection of information in the United States, cover, commercial enterprises and others.
It was envisaged to create external counterintelligence to ensure the security of intelligence activities of residencies abroad and the central apparatus, carry out infiltrations into foreign intelligence services and develop foreign specialists and immigrants. Creation of a covert operations unit that develops and carries out these operations; financial planning unit - responsible for financing all activities; technical services division, including technical support for covert operations. As well as units: counter-terrorism; anti-drug department, whose employees will collect and analyze all information on drug cartels, develop and implement operational measures against drug trafficking organizations (unprofitable for the United States, i.e. the Order). And more, more... Scientific division; division for the design of technical information collection systems; information and foreign broadcasting service; analytical department...
And soon these and a number of other units appeared, on the basis of which, by the end of World War II, the outstanding organizer of US intelligence, Allen Dulles, created the CIA.
At the same time, USIA appeared - the US information service, which became one of the members of the intelligence communities, which include: DIA, intelligence agencies of the US Army, Air Force and Navy, intelligence organizations of the State Department, the Department of Commerce, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Energy. As well as the intelligence units of the FBI, the intelligence and research department of the US State Department.
It was Alexander Evgenievich Golovanov, through the extensive network of his residency in the Order, who contributed to the creation of the American intelligence community.
Thus, the main task of Stalin’s party intelligence was accomplished - not to obtain secret information, but to create it in the depths of the Order and its satellite states, the Group and its satellites, to coordinate and direct them, because there is no other method of suppressing enemy activities Not exists. It’s the same as infiltrating uncontrollable groups of people, becoming the leaders of these groups and leading them in the right direction, because if you destroy them, you can undermine not only the integrity of society, but also the state. For man himself, by nature, consists of advantages and disadvantages, and this ratio is projected onto society itself.
And since we are again talking about the second half of the 20s, I will only add that one of the most important developments of party intelligence then was a unique method of learning foreign languages. As you know, in those years cinema began to become not only sound, but also color, and the speed of the film was set in such a way that people on the screen moved rhythmically and according to perception. It was then that Alexander Golovanov had an idea: what if we insert another frame? This innovation was later called " 25th frame") the film moves at a speed of 24 frames per second, which we perceive consciously when looking at the screen. But if you insert the 25th frame with specific text information, then it will be perceived subconsciously, in other words, we will not see it, we will not understand what is written or depicted, but, nevertheless, we will know what information is contained there.
The effect of this discovery made it possible to convey information directly to the subcortex, bypassing consciousness, which increased the memorization process tenfold. Only decades later will the world know about this; intelligence services will begin to do this in the middle of World War II, when a party intelligence operation was carried out to “dump” the Order with the aim of further transferring this unique method to US intelligence; and after that, Soviet intelligence officers were instructed to obtain this information from... American intelligence services.
It’s a game again, but how could it be otherwise: They should not be solved; and again we hide from the world that in some ways we are stronger, smarter, more cunning...
This is how people get the information they need; and now - the world considers the author of the phenomenon of the 25th frame to be the American psychologist and marketer James Vickery, who conducted “his” experiment in a New Jersey cinema in 1957. During the demonstration of a feature film, two types of pictures were projected onto the screen from the second projector once a second for a fraction of a second: “Coca-Cola” and “eat popcorn”; According to sociologists, after the experiment, the consumption of these particular products increased by 17%. Vaikeri’s “discovery” became public knowledge and brought him huge dividends, but... in 1974, he suddenly, without explaining anything to anyone, renounced authorship. Well, apparently, I realized what kind of “inventor” he is...
Such methods of throwing one's discoveries at the enemy, and then intensively obtaining one's own secret - this is one of the favorite games of the brilliant Soviet leader.
The same thing happened with the nuclear project, allegedly obtained with the help of the NKVD foreign intelligence agent Fuchs; and other similar stories that belong not to Time, but to the great Game...
However, to the question: who is involved in monstrous, inhuman inventions, who is responsible? - the answer is always unequivocal: Americans (or someone else)... but what does WE have to do with it?!

I continue the story about Ilya Ponomarev, one of the founders of the leftist movement “Left Front”. .
But the elite story of Ilya Ponomarev does not end there. His father is a co-operator - nephew of the Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Boris Ponomarev. A for Ilya Ponomarev B.N. Ponomarev turns out to be his great-uncle. Boris Nikolaevich Ponomarev is already a super-magnitude. In 1932-1934. - Deputy Director of the Historical-Party Institute of the Red Professorship, in 1934-1937. - Director of the Institute of Party History at the Moscow Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). In 1936-1943. - political referent and assistant to the head of the Executive Committee Comintern Georgiy Dimitrov, member of the executive committee of the Comintern. Since 1944 - Deputy Head of the International Information Department of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, since 1947 - Deputy Head, Head of the Sovinformburo under the Council of Ministers of the USSR. In 1948-1955. - first deputy head, from 1955 to 1986 - permanent head of the Department for Relations with Foreign Communist Parties - the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee, was one of the main persons who shaped the foreign policy of the USSR.
Boris Ponomarev
Boris Ponomarev is one of the members of the team of authors who worked on the creation of the “Short Course on the History of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)”. Together with E.M. Yaroslavsky, P.N. Pospelov, M.S. Volin, I.I. Mints participated in rewriting the history of the party in the spirit of the ideology of Stalinismand in polishing the “Short Course”.
Among the leaders of the CPSU during the “stagnation” period, Ponomarev was distinguished by an outspoken anti-Stalinist position and had an extremely negative attitude towards Brezhnev’s attempts to restore, at least partially, the former cult of Stalin.
His deputy in
International Department of the CPSU Central Committee K.N. Brutents in the book “30 years on Old Square” 1998 gives it the following characteristics: “ To the credit of Boris Nikolaevich, he was a convinced anti-Stalinist, adhered to this line without hesitation, stood up for people with a similar reputation. <..>Boris Nikolaevich understood people. This is also evidenced by the selection of personnel in the department. It is symptomatic that from there came a lot of those who without hesitation and immediately identified with perestroika. <..>In relations with foreign communist parties, Ponomarev adhered to Comintern traditions. The main one was the position of the CPSU as an infallible guiding force, in fact, as a father party. And when some parties (Italian, Spanish, Finnish, etc.) challenged this situation, for him it was It is completely natural to support the formation of opposition groups within them. In conversations, he invariably asked whether Moscow Radio could be heard in this or that country, and recommended visiting it and speaking. Each time he advised me to work more actively in trade unions and the army. And he suggested that the ruling parties “draw from the cup of experience” of the CPSU and the USSR. Ponomarev’s foreign colleagues, partly in accordance with the manner he himself set, treated him with restraint, without warmth. And people like Berlinguer and without the slightest reverence, to say the least. I was convinced of this myself, having attended their conversations twice, the last time in 1980 during the funeral of Luigi Longo.<..>In his interpretation of events, he was characterized by what I called a police approach to history. " His people”, intelligence efforts - that’s what primarily attracted his attention, although as a Marxist Boris Nikolaevich should have believed that, despite all the importance of these factors, they do not determine the course of social development.<..>In his many public appearances he never risked going beyond what was already said and approved, drying out and discoloring the texts who were preparing for him."K.N.Brutents
In my opinion, this is a wonderful illustration of the Soviet party nomenklatura, which, by betraying and degenerating, itself destroyed the Soviet Union. At first he taught to love Stalin, then he betrayed him, raised him in his department of perestroika for the highest echelons of the party. Being the ideologist of communism, it emasculated communism, did not believe in the masses, and therefore in the power of ideas, relying on apparatus, intelligence and political games. By supervising communist parties in capitalist countries, he caused the rejection of these parties towards himself, and therefore towards the USSR, especially since he formed opposition (or subversive?) groups within them.

A.E. Kudinova in the monograph “Information and Psychological Warfare” (M.: MOF ETC, 2013) describes the changes that have taken place:
In 1936, the OMS was transformed into the Communications Service of the Secretariat of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, controlled by Stalin. And in 1936, Ponomarev immediately took a leadership position in the Comintern. In 1936-1943. he is a political referent and assistant to the head of the Executive Committee of the Comintern Georgiy Dimitrov, a member of the Executive Committee of the Comintern. In 1943, Stalin decides to dissolve the Comintern. Soon after the dissolution, the Department of International Information of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks began to function. WITH
1944 Ponomarev - deputy head of the department there.I will again cite fragments from the monograph by A.E. Kudinova:
“This department had an extensive list of tasks, for the solution of which mainly former employees of the Communications Service of the Secretariat of the Executive Committee of the Comintern were involved. Thus, the selected galaxy of those OMS employees who managed to work well with Stalin (including on the basis of accepting his turn to the “Russian theme”) flowed first to the Communication Service of the Secretariat of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, and then to the Department of International Information.
“Various structures of the Comintern (and above all, the Department of International Relations) actually performed the function of intelligence; they had to closely interact not only with allies (which some White emigrants became), but also with a direct enemy, for example, fascist circles. This enemy, being himself ideologically charged, also had an impact on the system. In any case, there are known examples of direct transition of Comintern members into the fascist ranks. But the result of conversion is not necessarily an open transition to the camp of yesterday's enemy. Much more often, those who have been converted do not publicly indicate their new ideological orientation and retain their positions within the system they previously served.
And the Comintern also needed to build deep relationships with its ideological enemy. For example, the vast network of secret trading enterprises of the Comintern simply could not exist if the employees of these enterprises had not been able to organically fit into the capitalist environment and exist for years according to its laws.
There is no doubt that a huge number of Comintern members were selflessly devoted to the communist idea and made a huge contribution to the history of the twentieth century, including during the Second World War. But there is no doubt that the Comintern “economy” contained fragments that had undergone one or another erosion and mutated .»

In March 1953, that is, shortly after Stalin's death, arose Department of the CPSU Central Committee for Relations with Foreign Communist Parties, successive in relation to the Comintern, which has been transforming over the years. Headed it Ponomarev. The Hungarian events of 1956 led to the fact that this Department was divided in February 1957 into International Department of the CPSU Central Committee for Relations with Communist Parties of Capitalist Countries(B. Ponomarev, who headed it, retained this post until 1986) - and the Department of the CPSU Central Committee for Relations with Communist and Workers' Parties of Socialist Countries. The leader of the latter was Yu. Andropov, who in 1967 from this position he became the chairman of the KGB. S. Kurginyan writes in detail about the active participation in the collapse of the USSR in the 5th Directorate of the KGB of the USSR created by Andropov to combat ideological sabotage in the book “Red Spring” (see brief review).
Yu. Andropov
Studying Boris Ponomarev’s colleagues in Andropov’s international department, we find many high-ranking perestroika leaders such as Alexander Bovin, Georgy Shakhnazarov, Gorbachev’s future assistant, who wrote in his book “With and Without Leaders”: “ We must give Ponomarev his due. All his deputies were extraordinary people. Anatoly Sergeevich Chernyaev, having become Gorbachev’s assistant on international affairs, can be considered, if not a co-author, then at least “a member of the team of authors of new political thinking" And about the magazine, the publication of which Ponomarev supervised, Shakhnazarov reports: “ Detractors of perestroika, having heard a lot about “Problems of Peace and Socialism,” claim that it was a “revisionist hornet’s nest” that was almost to blame for all the troubles that happened to the country. I would advise them to look for higher rank culprits.»

Anatoly Chernyaev
As a result of long work in the Comintern and the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee, Ponomarev was supposed to develop channels of access to the elite of Western countries and large Western capital. The presence of such channels was recorded, for example, by his colleague Andropov. In 1964-1967, the head of his group of consultants in the apparatus of the CPSU Central Committee was Georgy Arkadyevich Arbatov. Through him, Andropov’s contacts with the Americans were carried out, as evidenced by a fragment of Arbatov’s interview with the magazine “Russian Life”: “ In December 1992, during the Congress of People's Deputies, at which it had already become clear that a conflict between the president and parliament was inevitable, I told Yeltsin that I did not understand why he was deliberately going into confrontation. He replies: “I also have questions for you.” He takes out a paper: “Strictly confidential, to the Central Committee of the CPSU. Suggest Comrade Arbatov to use personal connections with Kissinger to speed up the timing of the summit meeting. Andropov". Yeltsin looks at me and says: “You worked for the KGB, and now you’re trying to teach me something.” I say: “What does the KGB have to do with it, look at the year, Andropov was still working in the Central Committee at that time.” WITH ties with Kissinger mean connections with American intelligence, the financial oligarchy, and the highest political elite of America. By the way, since 1967, Arbatov headed the Institute of the USA and Canada - another think tank of perestroika, supervised by the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee Ponomarev.

Evidence of this can also be the more than strange voyage made by Ilya Ponomarev to the United States in 2004 during the American Presidential elections. For some reason, Ponomarev’s travel route coincided exactly with the election campaign of John Kerry from the Democratic Party. An article in the Novaya newspaper “Staff President” explains Ponomarev’s trip to the USA: “ Many US public and government agencies have recently organized a number of visits, so that foreigners can familiarize themselves with the election situation in America on the spot. From Russia they invite not only “right-wingers” who traditionally shake hands in the United States, but also civil servants, members of election commissions and even communists. With one of these observers - Ilya Ponomarev, the leader of the Youth Left Front, - we are talking about pre-election America.
John Kerry during the US Presidential election campaign, 2004.
Those. Ponomarev’s visit was organized by “ public and government structures of the United States." And in the “Youth Left Front” itself, the predecessor of the “Left Front” movement, the following was reported: “ Ilya Ponomarev is indeed currently in the United States of America, and often ends up in the same cities visited by the Democratic candidate. However, this does not mean that the head of the apparatus of the OK MLF is engaged in work in any election headquarters. In fact he holds meetings with representatives of American communists and Komsomol members, as well as with representatives of the Democratic Party, whose presidential candidate is supported by the US left forces during the current presidential campaign.
Those. Ponomarev had certain communication skills and resources so necessary for the Democratic Party that they organized a special visit for him to the cities where Kerry came with the company. Who was he dating? What was he promised or what did he promise? Was he a conduit for transferring confidential information between elites? There are more questions than answers, but you must admit, they are quite legitimate, given the above-described elite genesis of “a simple fighter for the people’s socialist happiness.”
Further political history characterizing Ponomarev as one of the leaders of the organization of the Orange Revolution in Russia is well known: these are meetings at the American embassy and visits to the colony to Khodorovsky authorized by someone and the organization of the Bolotnaya trial and many other facts. But you must agree that the story told about the elite origins of Ilya Ponomarev, his economic and political development gives us new colors for his life and the life of his political projects like “Left Front - Borotba”.
Well, do you think it’s worth continuing our investigation - a historical excursion into the origins of modern leftists?
draft amendment corrections and additions are welcomed by cross-posting, cross-comment and retweet
Seeing that Ilya Ponomarev, like a hare, jumps from party to party and the spectrum of parties is incredibly diverse, he became interested in the origins of such political omnivorousness and this is what he dug up.

Boris Nikolaevich Ponomarev (January 4 (17), 1905, Zaraysk, Ryazan province - December 21, 1995, Moscow) - Soviet party leader, candidate member of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee (1972-1986), Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee (1961-1986), academician of the Academy of Sciences USSR (June 29
1962, corresponding member since June 20, 1958), Hero of Socialist Labor (1975).
Graduated from Moscow University (1926), Institute of Red Professorship (1932). Everything would seem wonderful, but
in 1934-1937 - Director of the Institute of Party History under the Moscow Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). and it was during these years that there was a massive falsification of historical documents
In 1936-1943. - political referent and assistant to the head of the Executive Committee of the Comintern Georgy Dimitrov. The Comintern was a very interesting organization, the heir to the pro-Trotskyist internationals crushed by Stalin. Leaders of the Comintern 1919-1926 Grigory Evseevich Zinoviev Otto Kuusinen (Many consider him the spiritual mentor and patron of the fiery security officer Andropov) ECCI Secretariat consisting of:
Karl Radek (who is sometimes called the ideologist of National Socialism, is probably slandered) ... 1935-1943 Georgiy Mikhailovich Dimitrov, who ruled the Comintern in the period from 26 to 34, has not been found anywhere, although this is the most interesting time when the attitude towards the fascist and social democratic parties was developed, tactics of interaction and counteraction, the theory of the growth of class struggle as the Soviet state developed, the ideologist, as I understand it, who prepared the documents for the sixth congress was Bukharin
Under the wing of the Comintern at that time there existed the Communist University of National Minorities of the West named after Yu. Yu. Markhlevsky, who was at one time its first rector. It was created specifically for Western minorities. That is, he prepared communist Jews for all major countries, so the Washington regional committee is not just a figure of speech)) recalls L. Trepper “As for the Jewish section, it included Jewish communists from all countries, and in addition Soviet Jews - members of the party. During During the summer holidays, some of them went back to their native places, and through them we knew about everything that was happening in the Soviet Union (The Great Game. New York: Liberty Publishing House, 1989)
It turns out that Ilya Ponomarev’s great-uncle was well acquainted with Browder’s own grandfather, who at that time ran the Communist Party of America. It’s interesting how the cards stack up!! Dmitrov is generally an interesting comrade, it is enough to remember that as a result of the burning of the Reichstag, Hitler came to power in Germany, and the result of his rule in Bulgaria was a break with Tito and the exit of Yugoslavia from the Soviet camp
Since 1944 - Deputy Head of the International Information Department of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, since 1947 - Deputy Head, Head of the Sovinformburo under the Council of Ministers of the USSR.
In 1948-1955. - first deputy head, from 1955 to 1986 - permanent head of the Department for Relations with Foreign Communist Parties - the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee, was one of the main persons who shaped the foreign policy of the USSR. Well, here you can remember the missing foreign accounts of the CPSU and the party’s gold)
Among the leaders of the CPSU during the “stagnation” period, he was distinguished by an outspoken anti-Stalinist position and had an extremely negative attitude towards Brezhnev’s attempts to restore, at least partially, the former cult of Stalin.
Ilya’s grandfather Nikolai Pavlovich Ponomarev, Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR to Poland, also did a lot for Russia, helped, for example, Walesa and solidarity to separate from it, in the fact that Poland successfully buried the Warsaw bloc and his contribution, as modest as it is, is not for me to judge, but he participated , which he himself proudly declared that he did not allow Russian tanks into Poland, count Walesa crap behind the broad back of the Washington Regional Committee in the person of Grandfather Ponomarev,
By the way, Jodorov’s dissident group is simply called solidarity, and they don’t even hide the continuity.
Ilya’s dad is also a multifaceted figure, a brilliant physicist, a fighter against gravity, with the advent of perestroika, he suddenly got into politics and finance and became Armenia’s advisor on financial issues, apparently that’s why its currency became weightless))
In 1992, he also carried out a number of missions in Eastern European countries as a special adviser to the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation E.T. Gaidar.
Probably something along the lines of restoring Comintern connections between people and searching for party common funds, I don’t know what instructions this Timurovite could give to the financier-physicist
And after carrying out delicate instructions from Timurych, he suddenly moves into the camp of his rivals and competes with Gaidar’s “Choice of Russia”
He ran for the State Duma on December 12, 1993 in the Kirov district No. 93; lost them to Mikhail Vakulenko (LDPR).
In 1995-96 - Vice-President of the Russian Union of Joint Entrepreneurship.
He ran for the State Duma in 1995 on the list of the electoral association “Forward, Russia!” Boris Fedorov (No. 3 in the group of candidates in the Moscow region) and in Mytishchi district No. 108; received 4.41% (7th place out of 13 candidates), lost the election to Sergei Yushenkov (Boris Nadezhdin, Kirill Yankov, Alexander Fedorov, Yuri Slobodkin also ran). Having lost a couple of times, he was disappointed and probably realized that being a public politician was not his path.
In general, the fact that all these parties are just a shiny wrapper for suckers is very clearly visible from this story
With amazing ease, Vladimir Nikolaevich turns from a communist into a liberal, from a rootless cosmopolitan Khakamadoite into an imperial statist Fedorovite. The funny thing is that at this time, while dad is actively raising the liberal right cause, his son Ilyusha is founding the Russian Left Front. Which, in general, is logical given the Trotskyist-Comintern family traditions. True, it is not entirely logical that the sponsor and ideological inspirer is Mr. Khodorkovsky, whose Ilya was on the payroll for a long time. The oligarch is a leftist) history has not yet known this)) (although Soros is also not proletarian, but supports all the Trotskyists in the world) and the Ponomarev family has saddled not only the entire spectrum of political parties but also completely different and generally at first glance unrelated oligarchs, I wouldn’t be surprised that I’ll find Ponomarev’s relatives in the office of Prokhorov Deripaska and the rest) directly looking at some from the Washington regional committee))
Vladimir Nikolaevich with a light soul goes to Comrade Koshtman, the great restorer of Chechnya in the past, to rob Russian fence builders (by the way, the business idea of SRO was a solid A, the licenses were canceled and it was left to the Association of Builders of Russia (ASR; President - to decide whether the company can build fences and paint facades) N. Koshman) Since 2006 - Vice-President Vladimir Nikolaevich Ponomarev If you found the money to pay the fee for joining the association, it means you know how to build and it doesn’t matter what you smoked fish before, you didn’t find it, walk a waltz, be you at least an honored builder of Russia with two higher profiles and experience work)) and in order to build bridges and skyscrapers, you also just need to find money for the SRO contribution (residents of modern high-rise buildings, you are desperate daredevils)) Imagine the amount of money flowing into this association, and I think that the main profit is brought in, or rather they brought in before extinction due to this sro small firms since there were tons and tons of them now “there are no others and those are far away.”
Ilya continued the family tradition of changing political orientation faster than a soldier changes foot wraps and from a leftist he retrained as a CP and became, so to speak, a socialist, although he was actively involved in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and became a member there too, in short, the shooter has ripened everywhere
But the icing on the cake will, of course, be the assistant to State Duma deputy Roman Abramovich in 2000-2001. Ponomarev’s mother, Larisa Nikolaevna, is a senator from Chukotka and from the executive branch, and the governor there is of the United Russia party. I hope you remember what Ilya’s associates call this party. It’s interesting that he calls his mother that at home too)) In general, the communication of this family on a political topic should be a funny attraction, here only IMHO such people do not have any political ideas. They have and will continue to suck blood from Russia, like chameleons taking on any political coloring
