Return of the Soviets

or: Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death!

Just a day after Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, announced his “Digital Freedom Contest” (learn about it in the video), it was suggested to me to chip in my own video, and see whether I managed to make it go viral, since at least 10,000 views are required until July 15, 2026 to be eligible. Well, there’s the rub. What I have to say will trigger the usual censorship emergency breaks, making sure whatever I do won’t go viral. But it wouldn’t be Germar, if he didn’t try. So here I go. My video is the result no only of some two weeks of work, but also of several technical and software hiccups plus conflicting projects interfering with getting it out earlier. I worked on it with an eye on such a video being useful, no matter whether it will pass that threshold of 10,000 views, and if if does, whether I have a fighting chance of winning that contest. Actually, I think if I were to win, Durov would join Charlie Kirk, and Telegram would get fully censored afterwards… But just in case you want to help out, please watch this video, like it, share it, spread the news wherever you can.

Redacted on July 14, 2026: Until today, the video was posted only on my X Channel, as I have the largest number of follower there, and I wanted everyone to focus on this post, to maximize views. In fact, views blew past 10,000 within just a little over a day, and after a week, the counter stood at 26,000. In our heavily besieged and censored territory, that counts as “going viral.”

Now that the submission deadline has almost passed (July 15, 2026), the full-size video is also accessible right here, on my personal website, and on my Rumble and Bitchute channels. Below is the official description of the full-length video:

This is a documentation on the history and background of the cancerous growth of censorship and persecution of “thought criminals” in the West. It answers vexing questions, such as: How did it all begin? Which countries are spearheading it? Which ideologies are at the root of it? And which population groups are the main drivers? Buckle up, because it ain’t pretty. At the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence of the United States of America, it is time to renew this pledge of independence and commitment to freedom! Please like, share, forward and repost this video!

  • Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist, which is comparable to a U.S. PhD degree. From 1990-1993, he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz (see The Chemistry of Auschwitz). He conclude in it that "the alleged facilities for mass extermination at Auschwitz and Birkenau were not suited for the purpose as claimed." As a result, he had to endure severe measures of persecution in subsequent years. Hence, he went into British exile, where he started a revisionist publishing outlet. When Germany asked Britain to extradite Rudolf in 1999, he fled to the U.S. There he applied for political asylum, expanded his publishing activities, and in 2004 married a U.S. citizen. In 2005, the U.S. granted him an immigrant visa based on his marriage, but seconds later arrested and subsequently deported him back to Germany in crass violation of U.S. law. In Germany, where he was put in prison for 44 months for his scholarly writings, some of which he had published in the U.S., where they are perfectly legal. Since not a criminal under U.S. law, he managed to immigrate permanently to the U.S. in 2011. Rudolf has published more than 90 books (currently available through Armreg US and Armreg UK), among them the 54 volumes of the Holocaust Handbooks. He has compiled 9 documentaries and authored 20 non-fiction books, among them the bestselling Holocaust Encyclopedia. With a brief interruption, he has managed the free-speech organization Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust since 2014, where we defend free speech at the forefront of corporate censorship and governmental persecution. In 2017, he became chief editor of CODOH’s quarterly periodical Inconvenient History. In early 2025, he launched the Holocaust Academy, dedicated to bringing critical thinking to Holocaust education. In that context, he organized the 2026 Holocaust Summit, dedicated to “Tackling the Most-Harmful Ideology Undermining Peace, Truth and Freedom Worldwide”.
