July 11th and 13th: 80th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk

80 years ago, on July 12th, 1943, the Soviets launched their counter-offensive against the Nazi “Operation Citadel” at Kursk, a little city northeast of the border with the Ukrainian SSR. That month saw the largest tank battle in human history, and was only 5 months after the victory of Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in human history which we learned about in February with it’s 80 year anniversary. We will honor these Soviet victories up until 80th anniversary of VE and VJ Days in 2025. This week we will learn about the Battle of Kursk, and we will honor those Soviets that served in this battle, and remind ourselves of the current struggle against western backed fascism.

If you’re new to PSMLS, the school provides free public collective education every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays on a variety of topics from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. You don’t have to be a member of anything or identify as any certain ideology to attend. The PSMLS is a Party of Communists USA initiated and sponsored school, but it is not a party school, which is great because it allows for a wide variety of different perspectives and opinions to be brought forth which don’t necessarily reflect the party line. If you are interested, you can join the PCUSA at partyofcommunistsusa.net/contact-join/
