revolution in chile, we only have the facts, you can draw conclusions.

this story is another vivid example of the fact that you always need to live by your own wits, other people’s promises, advice and help are not selfless, but you have to pay for mistakes with blood and resources . the western dictatorship, which has crushed the state, as if nothing had happened, will indifferently wash its hands, leaving behind a crippled country. in this case , chile fell under the washington skating rink. so, first things first. i'm not a dictator, i just have an angry face, this is how i responded to criticism augusta penochet, indeed, 10,000 political prisoners, 40,000 were tortured, the murder of more than 3,000 citizens was proven, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, first let’s look at the democratic elections in chile in the seventies. in that electoral campaign , salvador allenda, leader of the popular unity bloc, won. the party adhered to socialist views and was. deliberately

build the chilean economy based on state tracks. agrarian reform, affordable housing for the poor, the opportunity for ordinary workers to get an education and honey, are just some of the directions of the socially oriented policy of the new leadership. this approach ran counter to the american understanding of the world. the white house quickly realized that one of the leading countries in latin america was emerging from their control and was ready to take the path of a socialist cuba. after coming to power, allenda nationalized private banks and a number of industrial enterprises, including those owned by american businesses. this predetermined the us position towards the cool government of the latin american country. president richard nixon gave instructions his administration and the cia, to collapse the chilean economy. at the instigation of washington , an embargo was imposed on the products of chilean mining enterprises. state property abroad was seized. relations with the country were severed by large western banks and between. national financial organizations. with

the support of american intelligence services , numerous right-wing movements appeared in chile to botch the decisions of the authorities. in fact, there was a civil war in the country, but even with such methods the united states was unable to remove allenda. what do you think of these methods? passed half a century, nothing changes, sanctions and disruption from within. part of the declassified archives in 2004 indicated that the americans then spent several tens of millions of dollars on it, but the money did not help at first, and then the president of chile committed unthinkable acts in the international arena, met with fidel castro and visited the soviet union several times, and washington began to put pressure on on all fronts. all this was a response to the socio-economic policy of president allenda, who headed for the nationalization of the copper smelting industry, the largest private companies and banks to carry out agrarian reform. to pay attention to allenda's steps.

american corporations controlled 80% of chile's copper smelting industry, which brought the country, as we have already said, 4/5 of all foreign trade earnings. the president simply wanted to return the wealth of the country and its people, but during the nationalization of the slow-moving industry, misunderstandings arose among the united states. american companies with interests in chile refused to accept compensation from the country's government. and having stepped on the tail of a large foreign including american business, allende actually signed his own death sentence. the cia, under the patronage of the then us secretary of state henry kissinger, decided that a proven instrument of democracy was needed on the side of a military coup. the first attempt at a military revolution was made in june 1973, but was crushed by allendo's loyal soldiers. the second in september began with the famous phrase. this is how

the command of the american-trained revolutionary led by augusto pinochet, who betrayed his country, sounded on the radio. construction sites shelled the presidential palace made of rockets, allenda committed suicide. president allenda, who was in the presidential palace, lamaneda, was presented with an ultimatum. he was asked to resign and leave the country on a special plane with his family and associates. allenda refused, and then the military began storming the palace. after a five-hour battle, the presidential palace fell. president salvador allende shot himself in his office, not wanting to get caught. rebels, the military broke into the palace and found allenda's body at his workplace, or not having figured out that the president was dead, either out of hatred, the rebels shot the already dead head of state, putting more than a dozen bullets into him. this is how a military

junta was established in chile, which quickly plunged the country into the abyss of terror. its leader, the american protege augusta penochet, liked to repeat that democracy must be bathed in blood from time to time in order for it to remain a democracy. a year after the coup, us senator frank church released information about what the cia spent working with the chilean opposition, about 10 million dollars, a ridiculous figure compared to the amounts that are spent on ukraine today, but then it was completely different money. the sad, famous estadio nacional became a symbol of the junta's terror; in fact, the arena was turned into a concentration camp. the fate of thirty cheleans has remained unknown since then. witnesses said that at the santiago stadium, which was turned into a concentration camp for opponents of the junta, the corpses of those killed were stacked, the bodies of the victims floated along the mapacha river, and some of the remains were taken out by the military by helicopters and dropped into the ocean.

hundreds of thousands of cheleans will pass through the regime’s dungeons, and about a million more will be forced to flee the country and emigrate. after arrival. under pinochet's rule, the country turned into a field of what economists would call a neoliberal experiment. a group of experts called the chicago boys arrived in santiago. the main goal is the wholesale privatization of 500 enterprises in the country and copper deposits, because chile has the largest reserves of this resource. there is an interesting coincidence here, the chicago school economics was based on milton friedman, it was this financier, the author of shock therapy in the early nineties. after the junta came to power in september 1973, penochet announced that he would respect private property and foreign investors. debts to the united states and the paris club were immediately restructured, otherwise

$1 billion would have had to be paid in 1974. chile received loans from the imf and the world bank, however, at first little changed in the economy. according to the results of 1970, inflation amounted to 500% per annum, according to the results of 74 - 370%. the result was a current account deficit of half a billion dollars, which had to be financed through constant borrowing. in 1975, after several devaluations, the local currency isuda lost 60% of its dollar value and was replaced by the peso, the exchange rate of which was made fixed. you understand correctly, the whole world then considers pinochet a monster and a murderer of his own people, but washington needs him, so loans and financiers come, and no one remembers torture, the stadium and political prisoners, political terror did not spare anyone, neither ordinary chileans nor celebrities, so the famous chilean

poet, musician and director victor hari was tortured with electric shock, his hands were broken, and after much torture he was shot, firing 34 bullets at him. the military did not seek to understand who was to blame for what. an employee of the catholic publication carmen marador, who was not a supporter of allenda, was arrested just like that. she spent 7 hours on the rack, was raped many times, she was starved, beaten, her legs were broken, she was tortured with electric shocks, they burned her with cigarettes, used the most sophisticated and disgusting bullying, her relatives managed to free her, but from the torment she endured... she soon died. a national intelligence directorate was created to pursue political opponents. the political police would quickly be dubbed the chilean gestapo for their brutality. penochet's punitive authorities poisoned the famous chilean poet and nobel prize winner pabla neruda. and in the town of dignidat they created a torture center. the tragic

pages of history are also connected with called the caravan of death by the punitive special forces led by general sergio arilian. members. who were looking for political opponents of the ruling regime in prisons and killing them with particular cruelty; according to various sources, from 75 to 97 people became victims. how did washington react to this, whether it condemned him for such barbaric methods , for crimes, for the murder of political opponents, for terror in one small state, the white house did not just close its eyes, rather, on the contrary, it continued to finance its protégé wide open pinochet and even made him the creator of an economic miracle, behind the screen of which , in fact, all large medium-sized enterprises in the country, all strategic sectors of agulam went into private hands, many of them with american citizenship. the chicago boys lifted almost all restrictions on foreign direct investment, creating an almost

irresistible package of guarantees for foreign investors with incredibly favorable terms. foreign investments and loans poured into chile like an avalanche, only loans from the seventy-seventh to the eighty-first years increased threefold, of the 507 state enterprises created in chile, under allende and before him, the chicago boys left only 27 intact and unprivatized. as for chile and the coup organized by penochet, here we see such an obvious manifestation of the concept of reality, and real politics is very the tough policy pursued by the americans, and of course, all this was arranged in spite of, well , some ordinary standard rhetoric on the part of the united states, and the defense of freedom and democracy, well, probably, by a person who... had a hand in all these actions in chile in the first place, henry

kissinger was our security adviser at that time, and the american president, and kissinger, he believed that, in general, the threat of watering all of latin america was quite, well, so serious, yes, that in general, you need to support anyone, be it a dictator there, or a person who is ready to shed the blood of his opponents, as long as the reds do not come to chile. but the us law that money conquers evil also worked for chile. country up to 80% mined copper was given to a group of corporations by the council of america, its founder david rockefeller. two more american companies, anaconda and kennicout copper, received hundreds of millions of dollars. it is curious that many us scams in chile became known thanks to the journalistic work of seymour hersh. it was he who proved that the arms and legs of the cia were sticking out. from the chilean script. he analyzes in detail one of washington's most important operations to

destabilize a foreign state and demonstrates the external and internal actors of this process. american corporations in country, the cia station, the us agency for international development, pro-american politicians within the country, conservative and far-right circles in society in the national army. washington players and processes depicted in relief. president nixon, national security advisor kessinger, cia director, helms and others. at the same time , the country abolished trade unions, pensions and healthcare from the state, and the main cunning of the economic miracle is explained simply. during the years of penochet's bloody rule, gdp increased by more than 20%. but only a third of the total gross product came from 1% of the country's population. allenda wanted to redistribute privileges and support the majority of chileans, but the rich. the majority turned out to be stronger having money and american support. the american approach to this

issue has always been quite simple. they looked specifically at developing countries or at countries that were less economically developed, such as chile, and chile at that time may now be considered a not very rich country, even in latin america. standard, america has always tried to create there, well, so to speak, oligarchic capitalism, or capitalism that was based on the power of, as they are called in america, the latifundists. augusta penochet left the presidency on march 11 , 1990, amid mass protests. historians claim that he simply got out of hand and washington decided to remove him. in 1999 the dictator was arrested, and on december 10, 2006 he

died. leaving a legacy in the country that is still echoed by protests and problems. here is the material from 2019. to the current social explosion was caused by the dissatisfaction accumulated in chileans over a decade with the socio-economic policies of the authorities. for many years, the country's authorities pursued a policy of total privatization. the state has practically withdrawn itself from all spheres of socio-economic life in latin america, and perhaps in the whole world you cannot find another country with the same degree of privatization as in chile. as a result, in chile the rules of the free market were applied not only to the economy as such, but also to the social sphere, education, medicine, pension system. all these key and sensitive areas for the population were privatized and removed from state regulation.

simply put, if you want to send your child to school, pay, get sick, pay, and you won’t believe it, but the current president of chile, gabriel borich, is the ideological heir of alienda. the authorities admit that the economic miracle from the chicago boys is just a way of making money for the americans and that same one percent of the elite. that is, the country lost as many as 50 years for a dubious experiment. in britain, the united states is actively calling on the authorities to declassify documents about how they sponsored, organized and supported the overthrow of the democratically elected chilean government and the imposition of the bloody dictatorship of pinochet. but it is clear that no... no one will declassify serious documents, limiting themselves to small things, like briefings for nixon or something like that. because these documents would shed light on the true attitude towards democracy as such in london and washington, which has not changed over the years. which such democracy, if it contradicts the rules of a world based on rules, any dirtiest and bloodiest

dictatorship is welcomed, if it is pro-american. this happened in chile half a century ago, and it is also happening now in ukraine. and this is one of the latest covers of the nation magazine dedicated to the centenary of that same henry kisenger, one of the authors of the chilean tragedy. even the american press writes that his hands are covered in blood. here is the geography of his achievements on the birthday cake: vietnam, laos, cambodia, chile and others. of course, in red syrup. although kickinger later had an epiphany: being an enemy of america is dangerous, but being a friend of america is fatal. also his words, being friends of america is fraught - this is also a fact, and of course, many of the american allies there, they found themselves in a very uncomfortable situation in the future, yes, well, you can look at the same western europe, yes, which now turns out to be a victim of price wars with russia, and whom the americans are forcing to help in more and more ukraine,

contrary to their own interests, well, either japan, south korea, whom the united states is pitting against china, either the kurds, for example, yes, or the afghans, whom the americans abandoned at the most necessary moment, it is quite possible that the ukrainians will follow them, which is why, of course, it really is fraught with danger to be american allies in the long term, you know, when preparing a script, sometimes you just wonder how much history offers answers to all pressing political questions, here is the example of chile, a state of lost generations, which again returns to the past with understanding, yes, we made a serious mistake, but much cannot be returned. the americans will definitely not give up their property and enterprises. and the question arises why ukraine, with special zeal , is surrendering itself into the clutches of the same western bigwigs, because sooner or later awareness will come, the question is: will there be enough strength and people left to correct serious mistakes in their land. i hope now this will be clear to you too. happily.

the design bureau under the heading is what will later be called the special bureau of the minsk automobile plant for heavy wheeled tractors and engines for them. it began its work in in accordance with the adopted resolution of the council of ministers of the ussr of july 23, 1954. it was necessary to quickly develop a line of heavy super- heavy off-road vehicles and an engine for

it for the needs of the army. machines of this class were not created in the soviet union. these are special tractors that were supposed to perform special functions, so the team is classified as classified. the future minsk wheel tractor plant for a long time functioned precisely as a bureau of the minsk automobile plant skb-1. the first project was a wheeled tractor mas-528. it was presented already in 195, in fact, less than a year after the start of work. according to the first assignments , the mas-528 engineering vehicle was created. mas-529 is a special tractor for

transporting missiles for their installation in silos. both of these machines are absolutely unique, because design developments have already been implemented in them. and in general this was the first time in the soviet union, at the same time the first four-axle car in the history of the automotive industry, mass 535, appeared . it was intended for transportation artillery systems weighing up to 10 tons, engine power of 375 horsepower. this allowed him to move at a speed of 40 km/h. transportation of heavy army cargo, if that’s possible, was actually implemented in these two models, maz 535 and mas 537, one of which could transport tanks

and other army cargo, the other could transport people and cargo, cars among these, maz 535, they were intended... including for transportation, for moving aircraft at the airport. with with the output of these machines, heavy in power, it had a powerful one depending on the weight of the aircraft, and a special carrier was made in order to attach it to the front wheel and drag it from any angle, from left to right, to the place where the aircraft was parked, the appearance of this car became... a real scientific technical revolution in the automotive industry of the ussr. its technical content

had no analogues in the world. upon production, and the men residents used an automatic transmission for the first time, which made life easier for drivers in general, since before that there were krazes there, there were others, here it is the poor guy sits, switches this speed, suffers, but here it was so easy to work on this machine, because the designers foresaw this, and i’m not sure that there were tasks specifically for the automatic gearbox, this was done by the benchans themselves, footage chronicling military parades in the ussr neither one of them could not do without demonstrating the achievements of military equipment, as well as without the mas-535a ballast tractor, created at the minsk automobile plant. according to its technical characteristics, it has become unique and has found widespread use among troops for transporting artillery systems it is on it that

the formidable soviet missiles, the appearance of which so frightened the potential enemy, are on red square. the capabilities of the unique machine expanded. in 1959 , a new history of skb-1 began. the ussr began creating the first operationally controlled tactical missile "tempp" with a flight range of 600 km. as a rocket launcher , a completely new car, the mac 543, was created at the minsk automobile plant. it turned out to be so perfect that even today it is mass-produced in various modifications. almost all brands of cars produced at the minsk plant turned out to be reliable. the created samples - mas-543 and m-547 continued their work.

used in other missile systems, they contained equipment for other purposes, or rather, ee machines were already used for - as a means of air defense. on maspa 43m the s300 complex was dismantled, they were simple, reliable, they had good documentation, here are the main bone components: there was good access, that is, we used these machines, as they say, 100% always they knew that the minsk technology is a reliable technology, not only as a machine, but also precisely for solving the problems that we pilots need, the various modifications of the heavy wheeled tractor created in the fifties and sixties found wide application in the military sphere for decades

to come. our products are widely represented for the needs of the ministry of defense, one of our most famous products is topol and yars, in addition to smaller chassis, which are four-axle, these are the iskander, bastion, bal systems, and many others. minsk wheeled tractors of defense significance in the post-soviet space with a recognizable volod sign, with a whole line of platforms for modern types of weapons. volod stands for hero, all our products, even from the smallest ones, are the embodiment of some kind of strength, courage, well, power, so it was decided to call the brand volat. and

the fact that this is... so is confirmed by unique developments. machine 7904 had a total lifting capacity of 240 tons and a total chassis weight of 140 tons. it was equipped with an engine, an m-350 engine with a power of 1,500 horsepower forces, developed by the leningrad zvezda plant. second engine. to ensure the operation of all systems and the main engine, cooling systems, these things were used for the first time, the total length was 31 m, width 7 m. the wheels were installed by the japanese company borigta, the wheel diameter was 3.5 m, that is, the load capacity of such a wheel was more than 2 .
