When a Nation Welcomed Its Invaders
What drives millions of people to greet a foreign army as liberators? In June 1941, as German tanks rolled into Soviet territory, something astonishing happened-vast numbers of Soviet citizens welcomed them with open arms. After enduring collectivization's horrors, engineered famines, and Stalin's Great Terror that had already imprisoned fifteen million people, the instinct to embrace anyone opposing Stalin made terrible sense. The military catastrophe that followed was unprecedented: 300,000 soldiers surrendering simultaneously, entire fronts collapsing faster than at any point in Russia's thousand-year history. By December, sixty million Soviet citizens had slipped from Stalin's grasp. Stalin's desperation became unmistakable when he begged Churchill for British divisions on Soviet soil-an unthinkable humiliation for a Communist leader. Throughout occupied regions, anti-Stalin resistance flourished organically. Major Kononov announced he was joining a "Liberation Army" to overthrow Stalin, and his entire regiment followed. At one POW camp, 4,000 out of 5,000 prisoners volunteered to join him. The Lokot-Bryansky region, home to over a million people, established its own autonomous Russian administration before Germans even arrived. Villages greeted invaders with bread and salt. Even as late as 1943, tens of thousands fled westward with retreating Germans rather than remain under Communism. This movement resembled a second Pugachev rebellion in its elemental force and popular support-far more authentically a people's uprising than the intelligentsia's "liberation movement" of 1900-1917. Yet it was destined to be branded as treason, raising an uncomfortable question: Can Russians use foreign support during wartime for seemingly noble ends? Everyone cries "No!"-yet what about Lenin's sealed German carriage, or the Bolsheviks' trainloads of food and gold to Wilhelm in 1918?
