George Orwell Homage to Catalonia Book

Against the background of the events of the Civil War, grueling positional struggles, the suppressed Spanish Revolution, as well as the fierce and no less dangerous inter-party enmity of the republican forces, George Orwell reflects on the problems of the world socialist movement, the hypocrisy and harm of the Soviets. revolutions, and that war always remains war and that for its direct witnesses and participants pathetic heroism and glory always lose to the essential companions of war - hunger, dirt, lice in pants, injuries, deaths of comrades and, finally, cunning substitutions of the ultimate goal. war. 

 And George Orwell's recollections of his participation in the Spanish Civil War, in addition to an interesting historical and artistic aspect, are very important for understanding the methods and means of propaganda used by the Soviet Union since its inception to distort and distort the truth, thus manipulating world thought. for their selfish imperial purposes. The most amazing thing is that nothing much has changed since the Spanish Civil War, and the successor to the USSR, the Russian Federation - and in fact the same, always the same old Russian Empire with a slightly tinted facade - still uses the same ones around the world today. methods of propaganda, ardently proving to the world community that white is really black, and vice versa.
