P.G. Papanikolaou wrote that on October 12, 1944, during the liberation of Athens, large crowds had taken to the streets to celebrate the departure of the Germans and to welcome the ELAS partisans. He argued that Greece was the only country that did not celebrate the liberation of its capital from Nazi occupation. He accused the PASOK and SYRIZA governments of not establishing a celebration, while he labeled the New Democracy as the political heir of the security battalions and said that the governments avoided displeasing Germany. Papanikolaou noted that Germany had about ten national anniversaries and holidays, including those for the reunification and unification of the country by Bismarck, as well as around fifty religious holidays. He also mentioned that the period from 1933 to 1945 did not have a corresponding national holiday in Germany and referenced the series "Dark" to explain his viewpoint. For the historical photograph, he mentioned that the tall man holding the flag and leading the demonstration was Mikis Theodorakis, representing Epon and EAM. #Απελευθέρωση #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)

Amalia wrote that Major Panagiotis Stoupas, originally from Lefki Messinia, had participated in the Asia Minor Campaign and in the Greco-Italian War. According to her post, during the Occupation, he created a resistance group in mountainous Trifylia and later joined the national resistance organization "Greek Army" (ES). Amalia mentioned that, following attacks by ELAS and with the intervention of British Major Harrington, the leaders of the ES signed on August 29, 1943, the Dyrrachium Pact, which stipulated the dissolution of the organization and the integration of its members into ELAS. She argued that those who had joined national resistance organizations were at risk, if captured by ELAS, of being forced to join them or be killed. According to her, Stoupas disagreed with the agreement and returned to Lefki. On October 10, 1943, strong ELAS forces surrounded the village, burned his house, and believed he had died, but he had escaped. Amalia wrote that later Stoupas joined the Security Battalions, as, in her estimation, thousands of other Greeks did. The post stated that Colonel Dionysios Papadogkonas, Stoupas's former commander, appointed him commander of the Security Battalion of Meligalas in March 1944. Amalia noted that after the ELAS attack on Meligalas, Stoupas moved to Gargalianoi with 100 men and was not in the city during the days of the massacre. After the collapse of the defense in Gargalianoi, he and his men retreated to Pylos. According to Amalia, when ELAS surrounded Pylos on September 24, local authorities sought a surrender agreement, while ELAS promised that there would be no massacres. She wrote that Stoupas accepted the agreement and committed suicide with his pistol at the castle gate, after saying goodbye to his men. She also cited the post-war testimony of Chris Woodhouse, who, she reported, conveyed words from British journalist Richard Capell in favor of choosing the Security Battalions instead of ELAS. #ιστορία #Ελλάδα #πατριωτισμός (translated)
