The Association of Marxist Organizations, Russian Communist Party-Communist Party of The Soviet Union and Regional Party of Communists on The Armed Conflict in The Caucasus.
A Declaration

The recent bloody developments on the Caucasus southern ridge have vividly demonstrated the fact that bourgeois rulers, setting tones for the former USSR territory, along with their overseas patrons do not care a jackstraw for blood and suffering of the commonalty, and regard it as pawns on their geopolitical interests' chessboard. Neither considerations of the so called territorial integrity, patriotic national card, nor delusional interpretations of the alleged sovereign interests could avow loss of life. Human life is not to be juxtaposed with petrol, currency, resources' transit traffic, or military bases. We demand that all the problems referring to nationwide or state regulations should be solved on non-military bases.

The armed conflict in The Caucasus has manifested that the newly installed imperialist Russia while defending its own geopolitical interests is ready to use arms, to come into collision with other imperialist predators and their satellites, and in accordance with what her elder G8 partners did earlier in Iraq and Serbia, it tries to camouflage its goals with counterfeit conciliatory appeals and, when profitable, resorts to the principles of International Law.

The Caucasus military conflict has revealed the impossibility of achieving nation-wide goals within the present sociopolitical structure and the state, expressing interests of Russian oligarchy (which, when necessary, is prepared to reach a settlement with global capital political forces), associated with criminal groups and bureaucracy (both without shoulder stripes and with them).

The Association of Marxist Organizations, Russian Communist Party-Communist Party of the Soviet Union (RKP-KPSS) and Regional Party of Communists (RPK) reject the idea of identifying national and state interests of modern bourgeois Russia with those of her employed classes, the alliance between the authority and opposition, and, alternatively, insist on class approach when considering social phenomena. At the same time we cannot agree with liberal critique the government policy during the war actions. And not only because we don't want take time for the pleas to transform imperialist predators with the help of International Law into peaceable vegetarians. Contrary to liberal's critique of the policies employed in order to restore and guarantee peace in the region, we, being communists, have always supported the nations' right to self-determination. Hence, our sympathies rest with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. We deem the realization of self-determination principle via recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia's independence, along with the destruction of the US hegemony within the frames of the unipolar world and calling a halt to NATO's relentless expansion to the Caucasus, objectively conduce to creating better conditions for preserving peace and further progress of the mankind at present.

Concurrently we regard it as our duty to rebuff chauvinist and bellicose militaristic rhetoric of Russian nationalistic patriots and some left politicians, who have fallen into their positions. Bringing odium and hatred on other nations, genocide and ethnic purges, active and fraudulent concealment of war crimes, the conversion of mass-media into war propaganda advocates, and calls for opposition's "internment" not only contradict principles of democracy and humanism, absolutely indispensable to modern Russia, but also turn her citizens into hostages of the imperialist policy of the ruling regime.

In order to effectively protect peoples of Russia, both domestic and foreign policies should be fundamentally transformed, and these are impossible to renovate without major alterations and amendments in the country's social and political structure. Only toiling people of Russia are capable of defending their country national interests and transform it into a factual democratic state, functioning in the interests of the majority of its citizens. Only the alliance of progressive left forces supported by national liberation movements of the countries of the planet, resisting chauvinism and imperialistic dictate, could provide a reliable international support for such a policy. Otherwise universal or local peace will constantly depend on the emergency of imperialistic countries' contradictions, and no one can be ever guaranteed and safe from tragedies, similar to the one unleashed in the Caucasus, in August 2008
