Великая Отечественная война 1941–1945 гг. – патриотизм: подвиг и трагедия тыла

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the processes that took place in the rear of the Red (Soviet) Army (1941–1945) and the invaders in the temporarily occupied territory of the USSR. They predetermined the course and outcome of the global catastrophe – the Great Patriotic and World War II. The work used methods of content analysis, comparison and research of processes from “themselves”. This made it possible to create a voluminous idea of the patriotic feat and tragedy of the rear of the fighting USSR. The dialectic of the processes that took place is that it was both a feat and a tragedy of the population of the USSR, which, being on the verge of existence, defended its home, homeland and saved the party-state of the CPSU(b)-SSSR. The pragmatic content of this process looks like this: created – destroyed (USSR industrial base); recreated (under the threat of physical destruction by the invaders of the industrial base for the needs of the invaders) – destroyed (the invaders destroyed the industrial base during the retreat); recreated an industrial base on the liberated territory of the USSR. A review of the processes allows us to draw the following conclusions: a) the life of the rear of the USSR of the Great Patriotic War – heroism woven with the worst tragedy; b) the fate and life of the rear (within the indicated borders) – contempt of all norms and laws of humanism; c) the German rear suffered less human losses than the Soviet one during this period; d) the party-state system of the USSR of that period demonstrated a higher mobilization potential for achieving Victory than the state and party systems of opponents of the USSR; e) the main resource of the Victory of the USSR in this war was the historical ability – the readiness of Soviet people to overcome all kinds of disasters.
