Best Ghost Rider decks in Marvel Snap and how to counter them

Let the ride begin.

In Marvel Snap , Ghost Rider is a four-cost, three-Power point card with the ability that reads: “On Reveal: Bring back one of your discarded cards to this location.”

Though this may seem a bit underwhelming at first glance, a deck built around the famous skulled antihero can be devastating given the right tools, and can pull off some of the best combos in the game.

Here are the best Ghost Rider decks in Marvel Snap .

Best Ghost Rider decks in Marvel Snap

Ghost rider/lady sif/infinaut combo.

The best option you can do with Ghost Rider’s effect is to target a card with massive Power points since it can bring back a unit instantly without the need of spending energy. One of the best possible targets for the antihero’s ability is The Infinaut, which can quickly turn things upside down if you manage to pull it off.

The Infinaut is a six-cost, 20-Power point card that has the ability that reads: “If you played a card last turn, you can’t play this.” This might seem that you need to sacrifice a turn to be able to play it, but if you manage to call it by using Ghost Rider’s ability, you won’t need to worry about the summoning conditions. The fact it has 20-Power points already puts you at an advantage unless your opponent can match the Power that you will have upon playing it.

You can’t just discard The Infinaut easily. You will need cards that will let you discard units from your hand. This includes Lady Sif, which is a three-cost, four-Power point card that lets you discard the highest-cost card from your hand. Swordmaster is also a great addition to make the discard mechanic more consistent, as well as being a decent three-cost, six-Power point card for an additional power boost on one of your locations.

As for the other cards in the deck that you can play in the early to mid-game, you can put Scarlet Witch in case one of the locations may provide a disadvantage on your side, Armor for protection on your board, Mister Sinister and Sentinel to fill up your locations in the early to mid game, and Killmonger for disrupting your opponent’s strategy by destroying all one-cost cards on both sides of the locations.

For your late-game finishers, Warpath is an excellent inclusion since you can target only two locations to boost their power, making it unpredictable for the opponent and potentially harder for them to distribute their cards on all of the locations. This provides an added plus four-Power points to Warpath, making it a nine-Power card in the process. Spider-Woman can inflict minus one-Power to all of the cards on your opponent’s side of the location where you played it, and Iron Man to double the power of one of your locations.

The key to using this deck is to always aim to discard The Infinaut and target it with Ghost Rider’s effect. This will pave the way for you to control the late game by potentially dropping other late-game finishers and securing at least two of the locations for the win.

Win condition cards for this deck:

Ghost Rider is more of just a tool to get your late-game finishers. This will pave the way to potentially bolstering your Power in the location where you played it.

The other win condition for this deck are:

• The Infinaut
• Spider-Woman

This discard deck’s engine still relies on power plays in the final turn to secure your locations. The Infinaut’s humongous 20 Power can instantly secure you a location. Apocalypse can also have its Power increase every time you discard it, so it’ll definitely be your main turn-six drop.

Spider-Woman is a great alternative as a target for Ghost Rider’s effect. It has some control abilities which can convert to your offensive advantage.

Full Discard Deck

If you want even more consistency in a deck with Ghost Rider, using a full discard engine will definitely work. Ghost Rider is not your finisher, but it will pave the way to potentially summon a powerful finisher with a great sum of Power points that can help you secure at least one of the locations.

Aside from Lady Sif, there are still other cards in Marvel Snap that can let you discard units from your hand, like Blade and Moon Knight. These cards can help you do the discard mechanic in the early to mid-game, so including them is a viable option for the deck. Black Cat is also a great addition thanks to its three-cost, seven-Power point boost, though you will be forced to discard it if you haven’t played it in a turn. Luckily, Ghost-Rider can target it in case you won’t be able to discard The Infinaut.

For your mid to late-game finishers, you can put the likes of Apocalypse, which can return immediately to your hand and gains plus four Power if you discard it. Hela is also a good choice since it can bring back all of your discarded cards if you play it. Jubilee can help you play multiple late-game finishers thanks to its ability to randomly call a card from your deck without spending energy for its cost.

As for the other cards in the deck, you can include Shang-Chi to destroy your opponent’s high Power cards, as well as Dracula, which lets you discard a card by the end of the game and grants it Power equal to what you have discarded this way. Add Scarlet Witch if you want to change one of your locations.

The key to using this deck is to use the cards that can let you discard your other units from your hand as early as possible. This can cause unpredictability for your opponent, especially if you manage to pull off the mentioned combos courtesy of discards.

Just like the first deck, having lots of Power through the discard mechanic is the key to triumph. Here are the win condition cards for this deck:

Hela is like a pseudo-Ghost Rider but can do more damage since everything that you discarded gets returned to random locations upon playing it. It is also a decent six-Power card, making it an additional Power booster in the process. Of course, the gigantic Infinaut is present, as well as the potential Power monster, Apocalypse.

This deck runs more six-cost cards with high Power points. And there may be times that you may not be able to play all of those cards. This is where Dracula comes in handy since it can potentially turn into one of them.

Ghost Rider deck staple cards

Here are the staple cards you should play in a Ghost Rider deck, along with their effects:

• Scarlet Witch – On Reveal: Replace this location with a random new one.
• Morbius – +2 Power for each time you discarded a card this game.
• Lady Sif – On Reveal: Discard the highest-cost card from your hand.
• Swordmaster – On Reveal: Discard a card from your hand.
• Apocalypse – When you discard this card from your hand, put it back with +4 Power.
• The Infinaut – If you played a card last turn, you can’t play this. 

How to counter Ghost Rider decks

Since Ghost Rider has an On Reveal ability, Cosmo can completely shut down its effect since it has the ability that reads: “Ongoing: On Reveal abilities won’t happen at this location.” If your opponent can time it right, Ghost Rider can turn into a complete vanilla unit, unfortunately.

Also, lockdown decks with cards like Professor X and Spider-Man may prevent you from putting cards in the late game. Their abilities can disrupt your strategy in an instant.

Best Ghost Rider Decks In Marvel Snap

Ghost Rider is one of the most powerful cards in Marvel Snap , capable of winning an entire location all by itself under the right circumstances. On Reveal, Ghost Rider brings back a random card you discarded in this game to the same Location in which it is played. When used in conjunction with cards like Lady Sif to target powerful high-cost cards, it is possible to add twenty-three power to a Location as early as turn four! 

Like with any kind of Discard deck, there is definitely an element of randomness to Ghost Rider's ability. However, if you enjoy the rush of dropping The Infinaut on your unsuspecting opponent at the start of the game, Ghost Rider may just be the card you need. So, let's take a look at some of the best Ghost Rider decks in Marvel Snap, including deck lists, strategies, and more!

Ghost Rider needs support from other discard cards in order to work effectively. Players will need to ensure that powerful cards in their hand are discarded by using enablers like Lady Sif before Ghost Rider brings them back a turn later. Alternatively, Ghost Rider is great for salvaging a bad discard play. For example, if you accidentally discard Hela, Ghost Rider is able to bring her back without a second thought. 

Standard Ghost Rider Discard Deck

The Standard Ghost Rider Discard package involves playing the most optimal discard cards like Lady Sif to ensure Ghost Rider hits something worthwhile. Then, after locking your opponent out of a lane with your Ghost Rider plus Infinaut play, you can continue to play discard cards until capping off the game with Hela or Apocalypse. 

Standard Ghost Rider Discard Deck List:

• Blade 
• Moon Knight
• Ghost Rider 
• Sword Master
• The Infinaut

Ghost Rider + MODOK Discard Deck

Ghost Rider and MODOK have great synergy. The game plan here is essentially the same as any other Discard deck. However, a few different cards are run in this package in order to take full advantage of MODOK's ability. Discarding your entire hand is a very powerful effect when used in conjunction with cards like Apocalypse and Swarm. Ghost Rider is here to help support your early game while you build towards your turn five and six power play. 

Ghost Rider + MODOK Discard Deck List:

• Colleen Wing
• Ghost Rider
• Magneto 

And these are the best Ghost Rider decks in Marvel Snap!

JOHN "JOHNNY" BLAZE GHOST RIDER

While traveling cross-country with his girlfriend Roxanne, Johnny Blaze came across a group of bikers that seemed friendly enough, buying the couple beers all night long. After closing, Blaze found out their hospitality came with a price. He was murdered, the blood drained from his body as an offering to Satan. The bikers went on to become some of the richest and most powerful men in America, and one even went on to become the Vice-President – Bobby Blackthorne.

Satan offered Blaze a chance for revenge, and Blaze sold his soul to make sure Roxanne's life would be spared. Nearly twenty years later Blaze has returned to claim the lives of the bikers who killed him all those years ago and send their souls to Hell. Once Blackthorne got wind of this, he ordered Nick Fury to kill Ghost Rider. Fury assembled a team of operatives, including the Punisher and the first Hulk, but it would take more than fancy weaponry and brute strength to take Ghost Rider down.

As each biker was killed, Blackthorne feared for his life and made another bargain with Satan. Blackthorne was transformed into a second Ghost Rider, but that didn't deter Blaze. The two Ghost Riders fought until they changed back to their human forms, and Blackthorne got the upper hand. Blaze was beaten and about to be killed a second time, but the Punisher assassinated Blackthorne. Punisher told Blaze he was on the hit list too, but Blaze was confident Punisher wouldn't kill a man who was avenging two deaths. Blaze was right and Punisher let him leave without incident.

Satan was true to his word, and Roxanne is living a normal life with her husband and children, and as long as Blaze continues to deliver souls to him he'll have no cause to cancel the deal.

Marvel Snap: The Best Echo Deck

Posted: October 12, 2023 | Last updated: October 12, 2023

Echo’s debut in Marvel Snap wasn’t the drop fans were eager for. However, she has proven her worth as a valuable niche card, capable of significantly impacting games focused on Ongoing plays. Now, many Marvel Snap players are uncertain about how to build a dependable deck around Echo and whether investing in her is worthwhile. This guide aims to address both questions with the utmost accuracy, helping deck builders decide how to employ her in their lineups.

RELATED: The Best High Evolutionary Deck in Marvel Snap

The Best Deck for Echo

Although a passive tech card, Echo excels in a Hela-Death discard deck . To assemble this lineup, players will need to team up Echo with Ghost Rider, Swarm, Gambit, Dracula, Magneto, Giganto, Lady Sif, The Infinaut, America Chavez, and, of course, Hela and Death .

Here’s how the synergies work in this deck:

• Echo : Removes the opponents’ Ongoing ability at her location.
• Swarm : Adds two 0-Cost copies of itself to the deck.
• Gambit : Discards a card at hand and destroys a random enemy card.
• Lady Sif : Discards the highest Cost card at hand.
• Ghost Rider : Brings back one of the discarded cards to his location.
• Dracula : Discards a card at hand in the end and earns its Power.
• Hela : Restores discarded cards to random locations.
• The Infinaut : Can’t be played if another card has been played last round.
• Magneto : Moves all 3- and 4-Cost enemy cards to his location.
• Giganto : Can be played only in the left line.
• America Chavez : Only shows up in the 6th round.
• Death : Costs one less for each destroyed card .

How to Counter Echo

In Marvel Snap ’s latest Season, Echo can be countered by Aero and Killmonger. Aero moves her to a non-Ongoing lane while Killmonger eliminates her completely. However, note that Echo’s effect continues to affect every enemy card played after her. So, moving her to a different lane won’t restore the power of damaged Ongoing cards —it will only prevent further blocks.

Is Echo Worth It?

Considering her predictable effect, Echo is not a reliable card to build a deck around. However, thanks to her good synergy with some discard decks, players can have her as a control substitute in their lineups.

While Echo is as a strong counter against Cosmo, it might not be a practical choice for most decks. This is because Cosmo is not dominant in the current META, and opponents can bypass Echo’s effect using Enchantress.

Top 5 caribbean mule recipes.

May 09, 2020

In this post, we reveal the Top 5 Caribbean Mule Recipes anywhere on the internet. Read on to learn how to make this awesome variation on the classic Moscow Mule!

Introduction

At times, one desires something new and exciting that complements the old. So, in comes the Caribbean Mule!

While you are probably familiar with the Moscow Mule, the Caribbean Mule is a variation that might just become your new favorite. The Caribbean Mule is a popular Mule that substitutes vodka for rum. An avid rum-drinker will no doubt love this version of the traditional Moscow Mule. And the best part is that it can easily be made from scratch without leaving your home. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at the easy-to-make, yet absolutely irresistible recipes for the Caribbean Mule. We’ll explore how the cocktails tastes, how it ought to be served, the different ways it can be made, and the different recipes. So, let’s get started!

History of the Caribbean Mule

Although there’s plenty to love about the original Moscow Mule, variety is undeniably the spice of life. Thus, there is good reason to have a collection of recipes for your cocktails. With only a cabinet full of liquor from different parts of the world and a few basic ingredients, exploring with the Mule drink is like going on an adventure from the comfort of your home bar. 

Because the original Mule was named to pay homage to where vodka came from, Russia, its variations have followed the same idea. The Caribbean Mule takes the spirit of the enchanting blue waters of the Caribbean islands, combined with conventional ginger beer. 

With the Caribbean Mule, you can choose to use spiced rum, white rum, pineapple-flavored rum, or even coconut rum. The sweetness of the drink is livened up by the ginger flavors.

Caribbean Mule Ingredients

The ingredients in this variation are:

• Rum – To achieve the best flavor, choose a premium quality rum.
• Lime juice – Fresh lime juice balances out the sweetness and adds a tangy flavor.
• Simple syrup – This can be made at home and is comprised of water, granulated sugar and, if you want to add a greater ginger kick, fresh slices of ginger.
• Ginger beer – Choose a high-quality beer for the best results.
• Ice – Use small crushed ice for heightened sensation and guaranteed chilling while drinking.

Which Rum Should You Use for your Caribbean Mule?

Spiced rum brings a comforting, warm feel that’s perfect during fall. When paired with ginger beer, the result is an extra sweetness and spice perfect for those cozy, cold nights or for entertaining your guests. Even when it comes to mixed drinks, you should always ensure you buy quality spiced rum. Preferably, use one with a medium to heavy texture. The flavors of the rum come out and help even out the ginger beer and simple syrup. 

You can also choose to use Red Leg rum. Red Leg spiced rum comes from the makers of Blavod, a premium vodka. The name is inspired by the red legged hermit crab that is indigenous to the coral reefs found in the Caribbean. The rum is infused with vanilla and ginger  and then rested in oak casks to marry all the spicy flavors. 

The Easy Caribbean Mule Cocktail

Ingredients:

• 4 oz spiced rum
• 2 small pieces of fresh ginger
• 4 oz ginger beer
• ¼ oz homemade ginger simple syrup
• ¼ oz lime juice

Instructions:

• Muddle the fresh ginger.
• In a cocktail mixer, add the simple syrup, spiced rum, and lime juice and shake well.
• Strain, then add ginger beer to create that absolutely delicious spicy cocktail. 

Pirate Inspired Caribbean Mule

This cocktail will transport you to the ocean blue waters of the dreamy Caribbean from wherever you are in the world. 

• ½ oz white rum
• ½ oz gold rum
• 1 oz coconut rum
• Pineapple wedge
• Mix all the rums.
• Add ginger beer, then stir gently.
• Serve in a classic copper mule mug over ice and garnish with the pineapple wedge.

The Kranks’ Caribbean Mule

This easy-to-make Caribbean style cocktail is one tasty treat. It draws its inspiration from a holiday favorite, ‘Christmas with the Kranks.’ In the movie, a couple whose kids are all grown up and have left home go merry-making on a Caribbean holiday cruise. This particular cocktail uses cranberry syrup, which gives the drink a distinctive twist.

• 4 fresh cranberries chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 12 oz ginger beer
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 2 slices lime
• Ice as needed 
• Put the water, sugar, and chopped cranberries in a saucepan and cook over very low heat.
• Stir frequently until the cranberries are completely soft.
• Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the mixture. Press the pulp gently to extract the liquid.
• Let the syrup cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature. Cover the syrup and put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before use.
• Pour ½ oz of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of the cooled syrup into two Collins glasses or copper mugs.
• Add ice, then pour rum and ginger beer in equal amounts and stir using a cocktail stirrer.
• Garnish with cranberries, a lime wheel, and rosemary sprig.

Bright Caribbean Cocktail

This low-carb cocktail is bright enough to make you forget a chilly and dull day outside your window. It’s also perfect for weekend entertaining. Besides, you get to enjoy all the goodness of a low-carb  drink which lets you indulge while also helping you in the weight management department!

• 1 1/8-inch slice of fresh ginger
• ¼ teaspoon of pineapple coconut water enhancer
• 4 oz sugar-free ginger beer
• 1 oz pineapple rum
• Frozen cranberries
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 2 oz club soda
• Muddle the ginger in the bottom of your cocktail mixer.
• Fill with ice.
• Add all the rum, water enhancer, and lime juice. Shake well.
• Put the mixture in a glass and add the club soda and ginger beer
• Garnish using the frozen cranberries and serve immediately.

The result is a sparkly cocktail that is ideal for weekend sipping. If you prefer your drinks a little sweeter and a bit heavier, then add more ginger beer.

Ginger Peach Fizz

The dark rum used has a flavor that perfectly complements the peaches  in this utterly amazing cocktail.

• 1 ½ oz dark rum
• ¾ oz simple syrup
• ¾ oz lime juice
• 2 slices of peach
• Muddle peach slices in a cocktail shaker.
• Add ice, lime juice, rum, and simple syrup, then shake.
• Strain mixture in a highball glass and top with ice.
• Fill the glass with ginger beer and stir.
• Use the mint sprig to garnish.

Which One Should You Use: Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale?

Although it’s possible to use ginger ale instead of ginger beer in your Caribbean Mule cocktails, you won’t achieve the depth of ginger flavor, which is what makes ginger beer such a great mixer. Ginger beer is actually fermented and has a sharper, more pronounced ginger flavor and almost .05 percent alcohol. Besides, it’s less carbonated compared to ginger ale .

Making Homemade Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that’s dissolved and then cooled. The ideal ratio should be 1:1.

To make a ginger simple syrup, you should mix a few fresh slices of ginger with water and sugar and put it in a small saucepan. Then, place it over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Should You Make Your Own Simple Syrup or Use A Store-Bought One?

Even if you're a novice, making your own homemade spiced Caribbean Mule with your own simple syrup is very easy. The advantage of making your own is you can control the sweetness and flavor when cooking. For instance, adding extra ginger will give your drink more punch. On the other hand, if you need a faster drink, then store-bought simple syrup is your best bet. However, it will not have as much ginger flavor. 

Get Creative

Does the idea of rum and ginger beer sound fascinating? Rather than just following a specific recipe, take a tall glass and fill it with ice to the brim. Next, pour a shot of rum or two. Add ginger beer to the ice and rum until you find the balance that perfectly suits your palate.

It’s Always a Good Time

With these delicious and refreshing recipes, you can rest assured that these cocktails will excite any palate. The drinks are meant to be sweet but not overly sweet, and the alcohol contents, although generously poured, can still be subtle depending on what you like.

Cocktails are more than simply drinks. They make friends out of strangers and bring people together. So, sit back, relax, and have a good time with any of these amazing recipes.

4 Orthodox monasteries to visit near Moscow

Over the last two decades, growing spiritual fervor has led to the restoration of several historic Russian Orthodox monasteries in central Russia. These monasteries stand out for their architectural beauty and their peaceful environs. RBTH takes you on a voyage to four beautiful monasteries that are located within a few hours from the Russian capital.

Featuring the icon of Mary the Milk Giver, the main cathedral, which was consecrated in 1860, is only open during prayer services.

There are several smaller structures in the complex, as well as a tranquil garden. Overall, the complex has a 19 th century feel to it.

Several buses depart from Tula’s Moskovsky Railway Station for a 10-minute ride to the monastery. A train ride to Tula from Moscow’s Kursky Railway Station takes about two hours.

St. Paphnutius, the son of a baptized Tatar, was a diligent monk known for his love and compassion. He spent 63 years of his life as a monk and founded the monastery in Borovsk in 1444. The original stone cathedral had icons painted by Dionisy, one of Russia’s greatest icon artists.

The countryside around the monastery is particularly picturesque and it’s worth walking from the railway station to the monastery to capture the atmosphere of a small Russian town.

Borovsk can be reached by suburban trains from Moscow’s Kievsky Railway Station. The journey takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The monastery was founded by Savva Storozhevsky, a disciple of Russian Saint Sergius of Radonezh . It has an impressive set of buildings, including the main Nativity Cathedral. Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich chose the monastery as his suburban residence in 1650 and the complex still has his white stone royal palace.

The monastery, which was partly destroyed during the Soviet era, has been completely restored.  Located on a hilltop, it is about a 20-minute walk from the city center.

The monastery has a bakery, café and viewing deck for looking out over the countryside, and it is worth trekking down the hill towards the Moscow River. Another highlight is the natural spring in the hermitage. Devotees go for three brief dips in the pool where the spring water flows. But be warned: The water is bone-chillingly cold, even in summer.

Suburban trains run regularly from Moscow’s Belorussky Railway Station to Zvenigorod. The journey takes an hour.

The monastery managed to survive the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 but was destroyed by Nazi German forces during World War II. The Voskresensky Cathedral is still being restored. There is also an excellent museum, which highlights the art, history architecture and religious heritage of the Middle East. 

Istra can be reached by suburban trains from Moscow’s Rizhsky Railway Station. The journey takes about 30 minutes.

J. V. Stalin

Speech at Celebration Meeting of the Moscow Soviet of Working People’s Deputies and Moscow Party and Public Organizations

November 6, 1942.

COMRADES! To-day we are celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Revolution in our country. Twenty-five years have elapsed since the Soviet system was established in our country. We are now on the threshold of the next, the twenty-sixth year, of the existence of the Soviet regime.

At meetings in celebration of anniversaries of the October Soviet Revolution it is customary to pass in review the results of the work of the Government and Party organs for the past year. It is on these results for the past year, from November of last year to November of the current year, that I have been authorized to make a summary report to you.

The activities of our Government and Party organs during the past period proceeded in two directions: in the direction of peaceful construction and the organization of a strong rear for our front, on the one hand, and in the direction of carrying out defensive and offensive operations by the Red Army, on the other.

I. Organizational Work in the Rear

The peaceful, constructive work of our directing organs in this period consisted in shifting the base of our industry, both war and civilian, to the Eastern regions of our country; in the evacuation and establishment in their new places of the industrial workers and the equipment of the plants; in extending the sown areas and increasing the winter crop area in the east; and lastly in radically improving the work of our industries producing for the front and strengthening labour discipline in the rear, both in the factories and on the collective and state farms. It should be said that this was a most difficult and complex work of organization on a large scale on the part of all our economic and administrative People’s Commissariats, including our railways. However, we managed to overcome the difficulties. And now our factories, collective farms and state farms are indisputably, in spite of all the difficulties of war-time, working satisfactorily. Our war factories and allied enterprises are conscientiously and punctually supplying the Red Army with guns, mortars, aircraft, tanks, machineguns, rifles and ammunition. Our collective farms and State farms are likewise conscientiously and punctually supplying the population and the Red Army with foodstuffs and our industries with raw materials. It must be admitted that never before has our country had such a strong and well-organized rear.

As the result of all this complex organizational and constructional work not only our country but also the people themselves in the rear have been transformed. They have become more efficient, less slipshod, more disciplined; they have learned to work in war-time fashion and have come to realize their duty to the Motherland and her defenders at the front—the Red Army. Bunglers and slackers with no sense of civic duty are growing fewer and fewer in the rear. Organized and disciplined people, imbued with the sense of civic duty, are becoming more and more numerous.

But, as I have said, the past year was not only one of peaceful construction. It was at the same time a year of patriotic war against the German invaders who vilely and treacherously attacked our peaceful country.

II. Military Operations on the Soviet-German Front

As regards the military activities of our directing organs in the past year, these consisted in providing for offensive and defensive operations by the Red Army against the German-fascist troops. The military operations on the Soviet-German front in the past year may be divided into two periods: The first period was chiefly the winter period, when the Red Army, having beaten off the Germans’ attack on Moscow, took the initiative into its own hands, passed to the offensive, drove back the German troops and in the space of four months advanced, in places, over 400 kilometres (250 miles); and the second period was the summer period, when the German-fascist troops, taking advantage of the absence of a second front in Europe, mustered all their available reserves, pierced the front in the south-westerly direction and, taking the initiative into their own hands, in the space of five months advanced in places as much as 500 kilometres (300 miles).

Military operations in the first period, especially the successful operations of the Red Army in the Rostov, Tula and Kaluga areas, at Moscow and at Tikhvin and Leningrad, disclosed two significant facts. They showed, first, that the Red Army and its fighting cadres have grown into an effective force capable not only of withstanding the onslaught of the German-fascist troops, but also of defeating them in open battle and driving them back. They showed, secondly, that for all their staunchness, the German-fascist troops have such serious organic defects that, given certain favourable conditions for the Red Army, these may lead to the defeat of the German troops. It cannot be regarded as mere chance that the German troops, having marched in triumph through all Europe, and having smashed at one blow the French troops which had been considered first-class troops, met with effective military resistance only in our own country, and not only met with resistance, but were compelled, under the blows of the Red Army, to retreat more than 400 kilometres (250 miles) from the positions they had occupied, abandoning on their road of retreat an immense quantity of guns, machines and ammunition. This fact cannot be explained by winter conditions of warfare alone.

The second period of military operations on the Soviet-German front was marked by a change in favour of the Germans, by the passing of the initiative into the hands of the Germans, by the piercing of our front in the south-western direction, by the advance of the German troops and their reaching the areas of Voronezh, Stalingrad, Novorossisk, Pyatigorsk and Mozdok. Taking advantage of the absence of a second front in Europe, the Germans and their allies hurled all their available reserves to the front and, massing them in one direction—the south-western direction—created a largo superiority of forces and achieved a substantial tactical success.

Apparently the Germans are no longer strong enough to conduct an offensive simultaneously in all three directions, in the south, north and centre, as was the case in the early months of the German offensive in the summer of last year. But they are still strong enough to organize a serious offensive in one direction.

What was the principal objective of the German-fascist strategists when they started their summer offensive on our front? To judge by the comments of the foreign Press, including the German, one might think that the principal objective of the offensive was to capture the oil districts of Grozny and Baku. But the facts decisively refute this assumption. The facts show that the Germans’ advance on the oil districts of the U.S.S.R. is not their main aim but an auxiliary one.

What then was the principal objective of the German offensive? It was to outflank Moscow from the east, to cut it off from our rear in the Volga and Urals areas and then to strike at Moscow. The advance of the Germans southward towards the oil districts had an auxiliary purpose which was not only and not so much to capture the oil districts, as to divert our main reserves to the south and to weaken the Moscow front, so as to make it easier to achieve success when striking at Moscow. This, in fact, explains why the main grouping of German troops is now to be found not in the south but in the Orel and Stalingrad areas.

Recently an officer of the German General Staff fell into the hands of our men. A map was found on this officer showing the plan and time-table of the advance of the German troops. From this document it transpires that the Germans intended to be in Borisoglebsk on July 10 of this year, in Stalingrad on July 25, in Saratov on August 10, in Kuibyshev on August 15, in Arzamas on September 10 and in Baku on September 25.

This document completely confirms our information to the effect that the principal aim of the Germans’ summer offensive was to outflank Moscow from the east and to strike at Moscow, while the purpose of the advance to the south was, apart from everything else, to divert our reserves as far as possible from Moscow and to weaken the Moscow front so as to make it easier to strike at Moscow.

In short, the main aim of the Germans’ summer offensive was to surround Moscow and end the war this year.

In November of last year the Germans reckoned on capturing Moscow by a frontal attack, compelling the Red Army to capitulate, and thus achieving the termination of the war in the east. They fed their soldiers with these illusions. But, as we know, these calculations of the Germans miscarried. Having burnt their fingers last year in attempting a frontal blow at Moscow, the Germans conceived the intention of capturing Moscow this year, this time by an outflanking movement, and thus ending the war in the east. It is with these illusions that they are now feeding their duped soldiers. As is known, these calculations of the Germans also miscarried. As the result of chasing two hares—both oil and the encirclement of Moscow—the German-fascist strategists found themselves in a difficult situation.

Thus the tactical successes of the Germans’ summer offensive were not consummated owing to the obvious unreality of their strategic plans.

III. The Question of the Second Front in Europe

How are we to explain the fact that the Germans this year were still able to take the initiative of military operations into their hands and achieve substantial tactical successes on our front?

It is to be explained by the fact that the Germans and their allies succeeded in mustering all their available reserves, hurling them on to the eastern front and creating a large superiority of forces in one of the directions. There can be no doubt that but for these measures the Germans could not have achieved any success on our front.

But why were they able to muster all their reserves and hurl them on the eastern front? Because the absence of a second front in Europe enabled them to carry out this operation without any risk to themselves.

Hence the chief reason for the tactical successes of the Germans on our front this year is that the absence of a second front in Europe enabled them to hurl on to our front all their available reserves and to create a large superiority of forces in the south-western direction.

Let us assume that a second front existed in Europe, as it existed in the first World War, and that a second front diverted, let us say, sixty German divisions and twenty divisions of Germany’s allies. What would have been the position of the German troops on our front then? It is not difficult to guess that their position would have been deplorable. More than that, it would have been the beginning of the end of the German-fascist troops, for in that case the Red Army would not be where it is now, but somewhere near Pskov, Minsk, Zhitomir and Odessa. That means that in the summer of this year the German-fascist army would already have been on the verge of disaster. If that has not occurred, it is because the Germans were saved by the absence of a second front in Europe.

Let us examine the question of a second front in Europe in its historical aspect.

In the first World War Germany had to fight on two fronts in the west, chiefly against Great Britain and France, and in the east against the Russian troops. Thus in the first World War there existed a second front against Germany. Of the 220 divisions which Germany had then, not more than 85 German divisions were stationed on the Russian front. If to this we add the troops of Germany’s allies then facing the Russian front—namely, 37 Austro-Hungarian divisions, 2 Bulgarian divisions and 3 Turkish divisions—we get a total of 127 divisions facing the Russian troops. The rest of the divisions of Germany and her allies mainly held the front against the Anglo-French troops, while part of them performed garrison service in occupied territories of Europe.

Such was the position in the first World War.

What is the position now, in the second World War, in September of this year, let us say?

According to authenticated information which is beyond all doubt, of the 256 divisions which Germany now has, not less than 179 German divisions are on our front. If to this we add 22 Rumanian divisions, 14 Finnish divisions, 10 Italian divisions, 13 Hungarian divisions, 1 Slovak and 1 Spanish division, we get a total of 240 divisions which are now fighting on our front. The remaining divisions of Germany and her allies are performing garrison service in the occupied countries (France, Belgium, Norway, Holland, Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc.), while part of them are fighting in Libya for Egypt against Great Britain, the Libyan front diverting in all 4 German divisions and 11 Italian divisions.

Hence, instead of the 127 divisions as in the first World War, we are now facing on our front no less than 240 divisions, and, instead of 85 German divisions, we now have 179 German divisions fighting the Red Army.

There you have the chief reason and foundation for the tactical success of the German-fascist troops on our front in the summer of this year.

The German invasion of our country is often compared to Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. But this comparison will not bear criticism. Of the 600,000 troops which began the campaign against Russia, Napoleon scarcely brought 130,000 or 140,000 as far as Borodino.

That was all he had at his disposal at Moscow. Well, we now have over 3,000,000 troops facing the front of the Red Army and armed with all the implements of modern warfare. What comparison can there be here?

The German invasion of our country is also sometimes compared to the German invasion of Russia at the time of the first World War. But neither will this comparison bear criticism. First, in the first World War there was a second front in Europe which rendered the Germans’ position very difficult, whereas in this war there is no second front in Europe. Secondly, in this war, twice as many troops are facing our front as in the first World War. Obviously the comparison is not appropriate.

You can now conceive how serious and extraordinary are the difficulties confronting the Red Army, and how great is the heroism displayed by the Red Army in its war of liberation against the German-fascist troops.

I think that no other country and no other army could have withstood such an onslaught of the bestial bands of the German-fascist brigands and their allies. Only our Soviet country and only our Red Army are capable of withstanding such an onslaught. ( Loud applause .) And not only withstanding it but also overpowering it.

It is often asked: But will there be a second front in Europe after all? Yes, there will be; sooner or later, there will be one. And it will be not only because we need it, but above all because our Allies need it no less than we do. Our Allies cannot fail to realize that since France has been put out of action, the absence of a second front against fascist Germany may end badly for all freedom-loving countries, including the Allies themselves.

IV. Fighting Alliance of the U.S.S.R., Great Britain and the U.S.A. Against Hitlerite Germany and her Allies in Europe

It may now be considered indisputable that, in the course of the war imposed upon the nations by Hitlerite Germany, a radical demarcation of forces and the formation of two opposite camps have taken place: the camp of the Italo-German coalition and the camp of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition.

It is equally indisputable that these two opposite coalitions are guided by two different and opposite programmes of action.

The programme of action of the Italo-German coalition may be described by the following points: racial hatred; domination of “chosen” nations; subjugation of other nations and seizure of their territories; economic enslavement of subjugated nations and plunder of their national wealth; destruction of democratic liberties; the institution of the Hitlerite regime everywhere.

The programme of action of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition is: the abolition of racial exclusiveness; the equality of nations and the inviolability of their territories; the liberation of the enslaved nations and the restoration of their sovereign rights; the right of every nation to arrange its affairs as it wishes; economic aid to the nations that have suffered and assistance to them in achieving their material welfare; the restoration of democratic liberties; the destruction of the Hitlerite regime.

The effect of the programme of action of the Italo-German coalition has been that all the occupied countries of Europe—Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, France, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Greece and the occupied regions of the U.S.S.R.—are burning with hatred for the Italo-German tyranny, are doing all the damage they can to the Germans and their allies and are waiting for a favourable opportunity to take revenge on their enslavers for the humiliations and outrages which they are suffering.

In this connection, one of the characteristic features of the present moment is the progressively growing isolation of the Italo-German coalition and the depletion of its moral and political reserves in Europe, its growing weakness and disintegration.

The effect of the programme of action of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition has been that all the occupied countries in Europe are full of sympathy for the members of this coalition and are prepared to render them all the help of which they are capable.

In this connection, another characteristic feature of the present moment is that the moral and political reserves of this coalition are growing from day to day in Europe—and not only in Europe—and that this coalition is progressively winning millions of sympathizers ready to join in the fighting against the Hitlerite tyranny.

If the relative strength of these two coalitions is examined from the standpoint of human and material resources, one cannot help reaching the conclusion that the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition has an indisputable advantage.

The question is: is this advantage alone sufficient for victory? There are occasions, as we know, when resources are abundant, but are expended so unwisely that the advantage is nullified. Obviously, what is needed in addition to resources is the capacity to mobilize these resources and the ability to make the correct use of them. Is there any reason for doubting the existence of such ability and such capacity on the part of the men of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition? There are people who doubt this. But what grounds have they for their doubts? In the past the men of this coalition displayed their ability and capacity to mobilize the resources of their countries and to use them correctly for purposes of economic, cultural and political development. One asks: what grounds are there for doubting that men who have displayed capacity and ability in mobilizing and distributing resources for economic, cultural and political purposes will prove incapable of doing the same thing for purposes of war? I think there are no such grounds.

It is said that the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition has every chance of winning and would certainly win, if it did not have one organic defect which is capable of weakening and disintegrating it. This defect, in the opinion of these people is that this coalition consists of heterogeneous elements with different ideologies and that this circumstance will prevent their organizing joint action against the common enemy.

I think that this assertion is incorrect.

It would be ridiculous to deny the difference in the ideologies and social systems of the countries composing the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition. But does this preclude the possibility and expediency of joint action on the part of the members of this coalition against the common enemy who holds out the threat of enslavement for them? It certainly does not preclude it. More than that, the existence of this threat imperatively imposes the necessity of joint action upon the members of the coalition in order to save mankind from reverting to savagery and mediæval brutality. Is not the programme of action of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition a sufficient basis for the organization of the joint struggle against Hitlerite tyranny and for the achievement of victory over it? I think that it is quite sufficient.

The assumption of these people is incorrect also because of the fact that it is completely refuted by the events of the past year. Indeed, f these people were right we should be observing a progressive mutual alienation of the members of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition. Yet, far from observing this, we have facts and events indicative of progressive rapprochement between the members of the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition and their uniting into a single fighting alliance. The events of the past year supply direct proof of this. In July, 1941, several weeks after Germany attacked the U.S.S.R., Great Britain concluded with us an Agreement on “Joint action in the war against Germany.” At that time we had not yet any Agreement with the United States of America on this subject. Ten months later, on May 26, 1942, during Comrade Molotov’s visit to Great Britain, the latter concluded with us a “Treaty of Alliance in the war against Hitlerite Germany and her associates in Europe and of collaboration and mutual assistance after the war.” This Treaty was concluded for a period of twenty years. It marks an historic turning-point in the relations between our country and Great Britain. In June, 1942, during Comrade Molotov’s visit to the United States, the United States of America concluded with us an “Agreement on the principles applying to mutual aid in the prosecution of the war against aggression,” an Agreement representing an important step forward in the relations between the U.S.S.R. and the United States. Finally, one should mention so important a fact as the visit to Moscow of the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mr. Churchill, which established complete mutual understanding between the leaders of the two countries. There can be no doubt that all these facts point to a progressive rapprochement between the U.S.S.R., Great Britain and the United States of America, and to their uniting in a fighting alliance against the Italo-German coalition.

It follows that the logic of things is stronger than any other logic. There can be only one conclusion, namely that the Anglo-Soviet-American coalition has every chance of vanquishing the Italo-German coalition and undoubtedly will vanquish it.

V. Our Tasks

The war has torn aside all veils and laid bare all relationships. The situation has become so clear that nothing is easier than to define our tasks in this war.

In an interview with the Turkish general, Erkilet, published in the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriet , that cannibal Hitler said: “We shall destroy Russia so that she will never be able to rise again.” This seems clear, although rather ridiculous. ( Laughter ). We have no such aim as to destroy Germany, for it is impossible to destroy Germany, just as it is impossible to destroy Russia. But the Hitlerite State can and must be destroyed. ( Loud applause .)

Our first task, in fact, is to destroy the Hitlerite State and its inspirers. ( Loud applause .)

In the same interview with the same general, that cannibal Hitler went on to say: “We shall continue the war until there is no organized military force left in Russia.” This seems clear, though illiterate. ( Laughter ) It is not our aim to destroy all organized military force in Germany, for every literate person will understand that this is not only impossible in regard to Germany, as it is in regard to Russia, but it is also inexpedient from the point of view of the victor. But Hitler’s army can and must be destroyed. ( Loud applause .)

Our second task, in fact, is to destroy Hitler’s army and its leaders. ( Loud applause .)

The Hitlerite blackguards have made it a rule to torture Soviet prisoners of war, to kill them by the hundred and to condemn thousands of them to death by starvation. They outrage and murder the civilian population of the occupied territories of our country: men and women, children and old folk, our brothers and sisters. They have made it their aim to enslave and exterminate the population of the Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic Republics, Moldavia, the Crimea and the Caucasus. Only villains and blackguards, devoid of all honour and fallen to the level of beasts, can permit themselves such outrages against innocent, unarmed people. But this is not all. They have covered Europe with gallows and concentration camps. They have introduced the vile system of “hostages”; they shoot and hang absolutely innocent citizens taken as “hostages” because some German beast was prevented from violating women or robbing ordinary people; they have turned Europe into a prison of nations, and this they call the “New Order in Europe.” We know who are be men guilty of these outrages, the builders of the “New Order in Europe”—all those newly baked governor-generals or just ordinary governors, commandants and sub-commandants. Their names are known to tens of thousands of tormented people. Let these butchers know that they will not escape responsibility for their crimes or elude the avenging hand of the tormented nations.

Our third task is to destroy the hated “New Order in Europe” and to punish its builders.

Such are our tasks. ( Loud applause .)

Comrades, we are waging a great war of liberation. We are not waging it alone, but in conjunction with our allies. It will bring us victory over the vile enemies of mankind, over the German-fascist imperialists. On its banner is inscribed:

Long live the victory of the Anglo-Soviet-American fighting alliance! ( Applause .)

Long live the liberation of the peoples of Europe from. Hitler’s tyranny! ( Applause .)

Long live the liberty and independence of our glorious Soviet Motherland! ( Applause .)

Execration and death to the German-fascist invaders, their State, their army, their “New Order in Europe”! ( Applause .)

Glory to our Red Army. ( Loud applause .)

Glory to our Navy. ( Loud applause .)

Glory to our men and women guerillas! ( Loud and prolonged applause. All rise. )
