Zyuganov said that every generation of Russians has its own “Victory of 1945”

The head of the Communist Party faction in the State Duma, Gennady Zyuganov, called the decision on partial mobilization in Russia “a step forward in terms of normalizing the situation on the front of the struggle against fascism, Nazism, Bandera and NATO aggression.” Speaking to reporters, Mr. Zyuganov also said that each generation has its own “Victory of 1945,” the faction leader quotes website Communist Party.

“We cannot lose the battle for Donbass and the Russian world. We cannot lose to modern fascists and Nazis. This is the mandate of our fathers and grandfathers and all the heroic generations of Russia, who for centuries have defended the freedom, security and independence of our peoples,” Gennady Zyuganov said and recalled that he raised the issue of mobilization from the rostrum of the State Duma three times.

“Almost 3 million people wear shoulder straps in our country. This is actually a well-trained and equipped army, which has passed the test of the Afghan, Chechen and Syrian military conflicts,” Mr. Zyuganov said, noting that there is no need for general mobilization today. The head of the Communist Party faction said that in Russia there are enough professional and competent people who are able to ensure success on the battlefield. According to Mr. Zyuganov, reservists who have undergone additional training will perform any combat mission.

“In the USSR during the Second World War, 33 million people were called up to drive the Nazis to Berlin,” recalled the leader of the Communist Party faction. Referring to the statement of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Gennady Zyuganov said that less than 2% of the total number of reserve soldiers would be called up. “The mobilization reserves of modern Russia are about 18 million people. But Shoigu said that about 300,000 people would be called up,” Mr. Zyuganov explained.
