Before the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2018 (SPIEF'18) in St. Petersburg opened in St. Petersburg, a month before these events, 5th Infrastructure congress "The Russian Week of GChP" was held under the auspices of the relevant ministries and Sberbank. Simply put, a month before the SPIEF, in Moscow, a preliminary warm-up of the economic block of the Russian government took place in order to set the right tone for the forum in St. Petersburg.
We managed to talk with one of the scientific leaders of the leftist flank of Russia, who took part in the Moscow congress. Here we will not disclose his name, as his answer was quite firm, realizing that he should be allowed to take part in the work at such congresses. His answer was verbatim: "At the congress, foreign guests were more inclined towards a revolutionary solution of economic issues, while the Russian organizers of the Congress did not have any desire to solve something in a revolutionary way."
The St. Petersburg Forum, like a year ago, traditionally brilliantly tried to eclipse the problems of the surging world economic crisis, but they could not bypass them. Problems turned out to be stronger than external brilliance. Therefore, the ideological design of the forum was held under the motto "Creating an economy of trust." In opening remarks, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, who was surrounded by the economic bloc of Russian government officials, immediately identified the motive for her speech: "Protectionism is a threat to the world economy." From her speech, it followed that protectionism is held on high debt burden and inflation, which led the world interest to a disappointing conclusion: "Political dividends are placed above economic profit." The only consolation in the economic perspective, this lady saw in the digitalization of the economy.
They voiced on the importance of monetarist policies in the economy. The largest part of the audience gathered in the hall expressed the desire to invest financial resources in the human factor, i.е. in science.
Quite confusing was the speech of the head of the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina. At first she expressed confident optimism in the readiness of the Russian banking system to finance the country's economy, but very soon passed to the "existing issues", which consist in the need for significant improvement of the banking system. The natural question, and where to look for resources for economic growth, was divided into two far from each other answers. First, in such cases, the answer is always traditional: "It is necessary to increase the output of competitive products". And secondly, the head of the Central Bank expressed confidence in the arrival of Asian markets in Russia (China, Japan, Korea, etc.). The idyllic prospect of Nabiullina was reduced to the fact that Asian investors should come to the Russian market and invest in it from 8 to 13 trillion rubles.
This involuntarily recalled the events of a hundred years ago in Russia, when industry was completely destroyed, and the monetary system was expressed by dead Kerenko paper. But then the government of Lenin immediately found a way out and proceeded to develop the electrification of the whole country. Under the roar of guns in the Civil War, the state electrification program GOELRO plan was developed, and when the cannons stopped, they began financing its implementation through taxes from concessions that, like oil and timber, were surrendered to Western capital for the period of the GOELRO plan implementation. Moreover, the GOELRO plans had both local significance, in some village like Kashino, and All-Union weight, for example, at Dneproges. The creation of the energy infrastructure involved the widest masses of the Soviet Union, who first built energy enterprises, and then they used them to build up the entire economic potential of the country. Electrification, as the economic base of the country of the Soviets, completely transferred the industrial infrastructure to the language of energy consumption. And under the existing planned energy resource in the country, the monetary component of the banking system was formed, which served as a feedback in the economic mechanism of the Soviet Union, controlling the balance of energy costs and compliance with this resource - the supply of the commodity mass for the inhabitants of the country.
Of course, in such a socialist economy no investor (speculator) could get close to the country's monetary system and could not make a profit. Excluding the NEP period, when private banks were allowed to operate. The profits in the country of the Soviets were reoriented to the interests of the working class and its allies, i.e. on the broadest masses. Saving energy costs in the fulfillment of the planned tasks made it possible to determine the figure in monetary terms that could be channeled to housing construction, to improve medical services for the population, or to raise the educational level of the Soviet people. Therefore, the Soviet people in the deadly battle with Hitler's fascism, which crushed the whole of Europe, defended the vital economic mechanism of the USSR and defeated the insidious enemy, for they had something to cherish and protect. Thus, saving the economic system in the USSR, the Red Army saved all Europe from enslavement.
But the Soviet experience in the development of the economy is not impressive enough for the economic bloc of figures in the government of modern Russia, and these figures, with the persistence of the victim of an impoverished market, beg for hand-outs from foreign investors who will then strip three skins in return for their temporary financial injections. Although the sword of the May decrees of President Vladimir Putin hangs over the heads of the economic bloc of the Russian government (this is the second time that the first time the May decrees were announced in 2012), which require the most vigorous increase in labour productivity, they do not inspire the government to take drastic measures. They are more willing to ask the State Duma to extend the time of V. Putin's reign for one more term and listen again to the May presidential orders. Therefore, government economists do not have revolutionary plans for the development of Russia and they are ready only for the influx of foreign investments, at the expense of which they could renew the industrial potential, introducing new equipment and, thereby, give some impetus to the development of industry. But foreign bankers are not interested in investing in the renovation of obsolete Soviet technology. They are interested in Russian energy resources, investments in which generate huge profits, and the realization of energy resources brings huge political dividends, turning owners of oil and gas resources into masters of life, modern kings. Therefore, when Lagarde talked about protectionism, she knew what it was leading to, sometimes nodding to her masters over the ocean. And it looks like Trump has got the IMF manager in full.
Before the crowded hall of international financiers, the leading discussion from the forum's stage was peculiar to demand a second world currency from the euro in order to moderate the fervor of the leading jack from the dollar, and Europe could pursue its own policy. Suggestions were made to give a free form to bitcoon and allow the yuan to take a free position in the world market. The discouraging parties did not even try to determine the role of oil in the world market and the attitude of the productive forces towards it in this matter. Already if bitcoin and other crypto-currencies, the SPIEF '18 participants were ready to move as the world currency, regardless of the fact that these virtual currencies are used as payment for those goods that, under usual conditions, immediately lead the seller to prison bunks, and sellers' faces and buyers of the crypto currency, in order not to get on the bunks, are hidden from outside attention as carefully as the face of an Islamic state militant is hidden - then the affairs of modern financiers have very lamentable prospects. It follows that the answers to the questions posed should be given by the productive forces, taking control of energy resources and planning for them the output of products with the registration of the necessary money supply controlled solely by the authorities of these productive forces.
In this sense, the leader of one of the sections of the forum behaved very provocatively. At SPIEF '18, designated as "Valdai" presenter Peter H. Diamandis asked the question: "How to get from the humidity of air two litres of water at a price of two cents?". The world is changing and combinations of various technologies are capable of giving us cheap goods that will be crammed with artificial intelligence. Therefore Diamandis had a very low price, close to zero, which led to a reduction in energy costs, as was typical of Stalin's commissars of industry. But this caused a shock in G. Gref, who quickly appreciated the benefits of those who buy cheap and high-quality goods for a song, getting a furious profit. What is advantageous to the lower classes turned out to be a pure parasitism for the upper classes and can not exist in the conditions of the modern market. Eventually, arguing financiers had to conclude a truce and see the meaning of salvation in investments in R & D (Research and development work). But since the dispute turned into a direct conversation, they also remembered the "dark Internet", bearing the name of the ancient Scandinavian war god Thor, which meant crypto-currencies fcan be used buy drugs, weapons, and you can pay for any crime to be carried out. It was necessary to criticize the modern world in the monopolization of everything and everything that involuntarily came down to the question: is there any reason to be afraid of permissiveness?
Diamandis's proposal to get very cheap water from the air dragged the prospect of a radical increase in labour productivity, while saving huge amounts of energy resources. But this only scared the Russian economists, who were accustomed to high prices and condescendingly looked at the huge export of capital from Russia. These people did not even think to work for lower prices for the broad masses. Nabiullina, who took the floor, expressed her confidence in the development of the blockchain (the block chain, which literally means the "chain of blocks"), as the leading banks of Russia are seriously trying to adapt the blocking system. In its simplest form, the block is a digital decentralized register that supports crypto-currencies and is responsible for fixing all transactions without an intermediary. Therefore, Nabiullina hastened to warn the audience in the hall - with fear of treating crypto currency as a money-laundering system, "banks should understand that they are financing operations."
Speaking about the dangers of the crypto currency, Nabiullina reminded in some ways the Chekhovian hero from the story "On the Harm of Tobacco", who urgently needed to marry off two grown daughters in a lecture with this title. The head of the Central Bank urgently needed to find eight trillion rubles in order to marry all Russian industry for the implementation of reforms, according to the May decrees of President Vladimir Putin, but at the same time she appeared to be afraid of "overheating the economy". According to the economic bloc of the Russian government at SPIEF'18, only investments are capable of overtaxing the economy. Here, as they say, at the very time to try on the need to announce yet another round of May decrees by President Vladimir Putin.
Of course, counting on the realization of a sharp rise in labour productivity in the country with such a current team of economists is an empty case. It only remains to recall the experience of our fathers and grandfathers, who restored the economically destroyed economy in the late 1940s and the 1950s. Then, following Lenin's electrification as the second program of the party, each workshop, each district was turned into hotbeds of energy saving discussions, where the Stakhanov method of increasing labour productivity spread, because saving energy costs allowed saving in financial terms not only for housing construction, medicine and education, but also to lower prices in stores for consumer goods. Due to this, the living standard of the entire Soviet population was raised. That is, the profit frankly earned in favour of the working class and its allies, which made up the entire nation in all the republics of the USSR. And each workshop and each district made their proposals for saving resources, which was immediately analyzed at the regional level and then passed to the State Planning Committee. Gosplan checked with the State Bank, which then played the role of the Central Bank, indicators from the localities, set the money supply to the available resource base, and adjusted the planned targets for a certain period, which were an integral part of the five-year plan currently being implemented. Demand and supply fully found themselves in this resource economy, since no one offered extra work, which generates an expensive mechanism.
It was a road to communism, consisting of two programs of the party "Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country." The first program of the party - the Soviet government, developed towards communism at the expense of the second program, the electrification of the whole country, which amounted to the cost of energy resources and on their economy, the banking system lowered prices for the amount of resources saved, including metals, to reach zero and to set a course on the death of the monetary system with which classes and class struggle die.
But in the understanding of the Russian reformers, and their predecessors from the anti-Stalinist camp, communism could be expressed in something like a "paradise garden," where everything blooms and smells with the garden visitors. Such an illusion they liked very much, because they confused the broadest masses, orienting them on the "fair" laws of the Western market. And as a matter of fact, urged the consumer to parasitize on another's work.
The fulfillment of the Stalin's five-year plans was precisely what attracted the real productivity of labour. Later, in the 1960s, we were "ripped off" by the Japanese, arranging "quality circles" in their workshops and district sections, which copied all Stalin's methods of increasing labour productivity, including even the slogans. And for twenty years of such productivity of labour, Japan came second place in the capitalist world after the United States. After that, China applied this method, using both the Stalinist experience of the USSR and the capitalist experience of Japan. And now China occupies second place in the world.
But China is not going to remain in second place, but does everything to become a world economic leader. General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping (based on the film about him that passed after SPIEF'18) has experience of introducing electrification when he was in political exile. In 1974, Xi Jinping was awarded a new motorcycle for productive work, but asked to replace it with a mechanical mill, which allows all the inhabitants of the village in which he was in exile to grind the grain into flour. This innovation has given impetus to the development of the whole village. This example shows that the CCP leader understands the nature of the Stalinist economy.
The second day of the SPIEF'18 work began with a breakfast organized by Sberbank and held under the comments of G. Gref. At this breakfast, the economic block of the Russian government, as they say, was boiled in its own juice. Problems of financing for additional infrastructure and how to raise labour productivity were discussed. In the discussion, various oil and gas maneuvers were offered, followed by a policy of increasing taxes, which did not show any prospects for V. Putin's questions posed by the May decrees. "Additional steps" echoed the tax reforms, which implied that the issue of taxes in the economy remains the main one.
The problems aggravated the discussion of the disunity of the regional social insurance programs, which, with their mass, pull down the entire social network and urgently require centralization and pooling of efforts in this direction.
The situation was unusually agitated by A. Makarov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Budget, who spoke about the operation of the second law of thermodynamics, in which, as is known, the entropy of a closed system reaches a critical mass in order to eventually destroy this closed system. It was difficult to understand what this hint of Makarov was directed at: whether he tried to play up E. Nabiullina, who declared on the eve of a possible overheating of the economic system with its "rapid" growth, or indeed saw in the modern chaotic movement the prospects for revolutionary changes ...
Breakfast under the leadership of Gref began to resemble a discussion of the congresses of the USSR, which produced pairs of accumulated problems, to allow the Soviet Union to quietly collapse. Mayor of Moscow Sobyanin complained that the barriers on the level of state regulation have been created, which hampers the work of the capital's bodies. But the growth of the economy and the increase in labor productivity, in his opinion, fully correspond to the level of urbanization in the world (China, the United States, etc.)
A high-ranking guest from Switzerland called for the expansion of the open market, which caused a full understanding on the faces of the breakfast-eating liberal public. While the words of Academician S. Glazyev, who called for the establishment of strategic planning, forced the guests to become very dejected.
But, as shown by the subsequent voting on the discussion issues, up to 60% of the participants consider the main direction of the reform of public administration. After that, the impression was created that, in the case of the liberals, much of it was mowed toward strategic planning. The situation began to save A. Siluanov, transferring the arrows of state interest to the digital economy, which, in his opinion, should dominate.
Alexander Ivanov instilled hope in all the heads of the project "Eastern blockchain", expecting in 2020 to capitalize about 6 trillion rubles. In response, he said the phrase: "Technology is the driver of growth, which recalls the history of domestic automotive industry, because technology can only be given by the West, which should bargain with."
The second day of the plenary session went on to the Russia-France business dialogue, which was followed by a similar dialogue between Russia and Japan. If in this dispute the French President Macron sought to prove competent in all respects, then Japanese Prime Minister S. Abe was specific in essence. Japanese guests are more pressed on the peace treaty, which they want to conclude at the cost of the transfer to Japan of four Kuril Islands from Russia. At the same time, the general picture of Japan's future plans was more like the second "silk road". The way for which the direction along the islands from Japan to Russian Sakhalin could be chosen, where two oil Japanese companies were already entrenched on the shelf. Considering Russia's ability to build bridges, such as the Crimean ones, which can cover large transport distances, the Japanese side expressed its readiness to participate in the transportation of its goods both in Siberia and along the Northern Sea Route. At the same time, Abe focused on the digital economy, in which Japan is ready to lead the increase in labour productivity in joint projects. Although in the future the second "Silk Road", Japan clearly intends to compete with China for control in European sales markets, clearly wanting to push the Russian ally away from domination on the transport arteries of Siberia.
At the forum, a question of mentoring arose, which stemmed from an elementary desire to fulfill the orders of the Russian president and increase labour productivity. Attention of the attendees was transferred to the school of gifted children "Sirius" in Sochi, which is headed by Elena Shmeleva, and the Board of Trustees - himself V. Putin. Nobody began to challenge the high level of sports training of the students of the Sirius, but in the productivity of labour on the faces of those present there was never any hope of raising this much-needed indicator.
Towards the end of the second day of SPIEF'18, the question arose about the construction of a mortgage housing, which could disperse the construction industry. But, as it turned out, the problem is that in this construction there are a lot of visiting specialists from Central Asia, the level of qualification of which does not allow to maintain their labour productivity at a high level, and the demand - at a low level. The question hung in the open position, and without finding a promising answer.
When, after the second day of the work, SPIEF'18 passed the middle of its path, it became somehow obvious that there was no light at the end of the tunnel. The disclosure of problems and the ways to solve them resembled the union of "the swan, the crab and the pike", each pulling confidently in their own direction. Capital as a system of self-growth could not tear itself away from the 3% level of growth, which is a manifestation of a severe crisis illness. Only China was hopeful with a 6% growth. All spheres of the Russian energy industry have become isolated from the resources of Russia. The struggle between transnational capital and national capital in the West, where Russia is actively drawn, is hopelessly stuck in interethnic conflicts and wars. And in modern Russia, hardly anyone notices that with which persistence Western capital is tending towards domestic resources, and how many liberal capital carriers in Russia are willing to share their national wealth with the "partners" of the 1990s. Strictly speaking, the export of capital from Russia by the leading oligarch of the country was taken by even well-off people, burdened by the inability to obtain a development loan because of the proprietorship of the owners of the leading corporations, and they were ready to show themselves in the desire to centralize economic activity.
In situations where the capital is in the midst of a systemic crisis, it is common for it to turn to Marx, since this indicates a slowing or halting of the productive power of labour and business seeks answers on how to increase the productive power of labour. This is because capital is able to justify its purpose, that is, self-growth, only to increase labour productivity. The motto of SPIEF'18, "Creating an economy of trust", was backed up by no-one with worthy arguments. Economists like Sergei Glazyev, who were always ready to point out the Stalin model of the economy and determine its place in the dispersal of the modern economy, were not allowed to enter the main podium. On the podium, someone's exclusivity and intellectual superiority dominated, although nobody deserved applauses. National exclusivity was thereby delegated to US President D.Trump, who was still an "island of stability" in the sea of economic pillage of the rest of the world, pulling all other amateurs of capital export from their countries to the country of Trump. Is it any wonder that the "Capital" of Marx and the pre-revolutionary situation, stemming from the systemic crisis of capitalism, became the only light at the end of the tunnel, arising even against the will of the founders of this St. Petersburg forum. President Vladimir Putin's decrees on increasing labour productivity hung over the public with a ghostly fog and were quickly dissipated when the work of the main groups at the forum was completed. As a result, the forum did not call for anything and did not lead anywhere. And this means that the problems of the crisis should be resolved by Marx and Lenin, receiving only this, the only way out of the difficult economic situation, which found an example of embodiment on the example of the Soviet Union.
Today, everyone understands that Stalin's industrialization gives the keys to economic development. But this is hampered by the "origins of the emergence of anti-Stalinism as the inability of the top leadership of the CPSU to continue the path begun by the Great October Revolution. In other words, the inability to continue the revolution in the transition to a new economic way of life for the whole of mankind, based on energy resources as an advanced mode of commodity exchange "(Foreword N.A. Andreeva to the monograph by V.I. Ryabov" Labour and Capital: Money Passions in the Struggle for Human Rights " , website of the AUCPB, section - Challenges of the XXI century, 2015 (Вызовы ХХI века, 2015г.).) For Stalin's industrialization, based on the economic basis of Lenin's electrification, pursued the goal of lowering prices for commodities of mass demand by saving energy costs expressed in energy resources, and lowering prices led the monetary system to zero, thereby creating a base for the withering away of the monetary system, and with it and the dying off of classes.
How did the West respond to this rapid advance in Stalinist industrialization, which enabled the Soviet Union to defeat Hitler's fascism? The West responded with its own electrification, based on the priority of money. Adjustments were made by the Bretton Woods world monetary system, a form of organizing of monetary relations, calculated by the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944, according to which the role of world money, along with gold, is performed by the American dollar. But the American dollar could not become the master of the situation on the world market thanks to the stroke of the declaration of the Bretton Woods Conference, but it nevertheless became the master of the situation in the capitalist market because all the oil reserves of the postwar world were concentrated in the hands of the leading British and American monopolies, for the most part, were in the colonies. And it was on the basis of this "black gold" that the dollar managed to fulfill the functions of the world gendarme, forcing everyone to buy dollars to buy oil products and develop their own economy, which, without buying energy resources for dollars for developing economies, did not allow them to function at all. It should be noted that the US imperialist circles also tightened the trade in energy resources with metals, because metals depended heavily on the use of "black gold", so they fell into the category of "blue chips" on financial exchanges, whose trade was also attracted to using dollars.
In Stalin's industrialization, the production of metals was also calculated by the expenditure of energy resources. However, for the Stalinist economy, this is not much of what it says. In it, even agriculture was transferred to the economic base of Lenin's electrification, since the costs of the work of agricultural machinery (at that time - tractors) were calculated by the costs of fuel burned by the engines. Therefore, the costs of urban technology were calculated by the costs of "black gold" burned in the furnaces of power boilers (TPPs) or machines, due to which the electric power was generated to the population, and the energy costs in the village were calculated on the MTS (Machine Tractor Station) by means of petrol or diesel fuel burned in engines. Then all these energy inputs were included in the cost of manufactured products, and the planned policy already required a reduction in these energy costs in the city and in the countryside. The population eagerly responded to this policy, as it turned into an improvement in their living standards.
Here and at SPIEF'18, they did not miss an opportunity to declare about the energy policy of the Russian government, which was expressed in the increase in the number of laid gas pipelines and the nuclear power plants being built around the world. But if we are accustomed to the economic policy of the "pipeline", since the dividends for its operation are received by a limited number of people, most often abroad, the operation of nuclear power plants is in no way inferior to the policy of "pipeline": the same dividends, and sometimes - the same people.
It is no secret that "black gold" in the Soviet banking system played the role of ordinary gold, in a revolutionary way burning in the generation of energy to ensure the vital energy to the masses. And the masses fought to reduce its costs, well understanding the inverse proportion of these processes, orienting profit on the interests of the entire Soviet people.
"Black gold" in the financial world of imperialism began to fulfill the same role of ordinary gold in the bank, with the only difference being that this "black gold" did not belong to the Americans. The Americans assigned themselves as masters of the world market, where all trade depended on their ability to drive the emission of the dollar through the Fed's printing machine, at best targeting its size for the volume of commodity turnover in the world market. As a result, local currencies were squeezed out of circulation and depreciated, and the dollar and the American political strategist came to their place, and financial capital got on the market opportunities to buy up for a penny whole states together with their feudal rulers.
Of course, the modest system of Lenin's electrification in the Soviet Union could withstand the pressure of the US dollar only if the Soviet system was leading in increasing labour productivity and would leave far behind the pace of development of the capitalist system. The results of the Second World War and the post-war period, right up to the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, just showed the pace of development of socialism, which turned into a race of competition between the two systems. A race in which the Soviet Union had every chance of winning.
The loss of the USSR in this race was not dictated by the objective necessity to cede to the dollar, the loss was dictated by the subjective necessity to place the USSR monetary system at the head of the economy, since money was an attractive force for the party nomenclature who wanted to manage the economy only through money and not the resource base. But the surrender of the ruble in favour of the dollar did not make the capitalist system happy at all, this circumstance only untied the hands of imperialism for total robbery around the world, and the dollar still fell into the suspended state of the crisis because of the 20-trillion-dollar internal debt created by the emission race and could not develop. Just as a grown-up American fed with with hundreds of kilograms of food and fat fail to develop.
And now it took the action of modern crypto-currencies, possessing the ideology of radical Islamists from IGIL, so that through fraudulent methods, world money-lenders guarding crypto-currencies could get close to Russian raw materials, and even world ones, by withdrawing their sales from any control even of the banking system, speaking of the elimination of any public control. The face of the bitcoins merchant is also hidden under the mask of electronic inaccessibility as the face of the activist of the color revolution on the Kiev Maydan or the face of the militant of the Islamic state. Both of them are frightened by the openness of the presentation of their economic views on the state of trade and its initial goods. This is the whole focus of the need for electronic money, since the owners of virtual money are well hidden behind their impenetrability.
The third day of SPIEF'18 was dedicated to digital technology, which unwittingly became a ray of light in the rules system, when all rules are violated. Big capital in this situation pondered how sharply you can raise the efficiency of small businesses. But how to imagine the matrix of small business growth? This time, a proposal was made - to assign its zone of responsibility to outside small business organizations. That is, it is recommended that big business start small businesses as their small daughters and use them in their work.
The situation will manifest itself only after a few days, when the media started talking about Skolkovo's specialists and the former vice-premier A. Dvorkovich, who was running in their ranks, "playing coach". Dvorkovich's subsequent statements about the "innovative business" and "technological breakthrough" testified that the stake on small business will pass through the Skolkovo structures, which, as a small business, will be transformed into a real industry where they will be entrusted with a digital economy.
China was represented at the SPIEF'18 by Vice President of the People's Republic of China Wang Qishan, who did not participate in the debate. Wang Qishan made only one statement that China leaves the US economy its main echelon of policy. About economic wars, in which the US will involve China, the head of the Chinese delegation chose not to share.
The echoes of the global crisis were reflected in the forum by the expression: "Everybody is waiting for the political madness to end." Against the backdrop of these arguments, Christine Lagarde did not miss the opportunity to criticize the US for their separatist position in the market.
Beyond the passing forum in St. Petersburg, it was only necessary to switch channels, as usual anti-Stalinism plots come in, although all these oracles of return in the 90s know well that the moods in Russia put Stalin first in authority in the history of the country. This time I was surprised by the long-repeated scenario with the lamentation of the emigration to the United States of the aircraft designer Igor Sikorsky. As if the aircraft designer Sikorsky had left and Russia could not create helicopters and airplanes. So no, they created new planes and helicopters, and went further, building missiles and satellites. And at SPIEF'18 they remembered the launch of the first artificial satellite "Zemlya" in 1957. And just to remember the one who united the designers and led the launch of the space program in the Soviet Union, no one could. But the history of this man is far more tragic than the annoying mourning of Sikorsky, which turned into a farce. Since the history of increasing labour productivity in the leading aircraft manufacturing industry is wholly and entirely associated with the name of G.M. Malenkov.
Georgii Maximilianovich Malenkov in time was at the boiling point of the economic interests of world imperialism and the growing system of socialism, which then received strong support in the developing world. Moreover, the numerical ratio of these systems in the world confrontation approximated the approximate equilibrium. Malenkov was the only successor to Stalin and was listed as such since 1942, when he headed all Soviet aircraft construction. It is he who will turn an ordinary engine of an airplane into an energy installation and make all design ideas serve her. Aircraft designers were doomed to save on everything, first of all, to reduce weight, improve aerodynamics, ensure the reliability of life support systems for aircraft. As a result, all design decisions of aircraft industry were limited to fuel economy in the work of each engine, and the combat vehicle became a racing aircraft. In 1943, Soviet aircraft will gain a preponderance in the air, and Malenkov will receive the gold star of the Hero of Socialist Labour.
At the XIX Congress of the CPSU (B.) - CPSU in 1952, Malenkov will make a report, instead of Stalin. It was a symbolic sign, indicating to the entire Soviet people the future head of the Soviet Union. Therefore, when Stalin dies on March 5, 1953, the country's top leadership will choose G.M. Malenkov without any red tape as the new head of the Soviet Union, appointing him Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.
However, in order to become a country with a nuclear missile shield, in the beginning there was a Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of May 13, 1946 (which was declassified only in the early 90s). There they talked about the creation of the "Special Committee No.1" in the nuclear project, chaired by L.P. Beria, and the "Special Committee No. 2" on reactive technology, under the chairmanship of G.M. Malenkov, which also became a committee for the development of missile technology. That is, the creation of a nuclear missile shield in the Soviet Union was completely on the shoulders of Malenkov and Beria. And they carried this burden on themselves and created such a shield!
Modern researchers of the time, having suddenly opened the old archives of Malenkov, remark with surprise: "In fact, it seems that this" forgotten leader of the Soviet Union "played the most fundamental role in postwar aviation / rocket construction." At the same time, they can not even imagine that Malenkov played the most fundamental role in the entire economic base of the country, called Lenin's electrification, and throughout the entire revolutionary movement of the world. In the economy with his name was associated with the highest productivity of labour.
Malenkov's departure in 1957 from the last post of deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers was marked by the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite created under his leadership. Actually, Malenkov's surrender of the post of the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee to Khrushchev even before the assassination of Beria, will result in the fact that his corades in the Central Committee of the CPSU have also been keeping him on target since. Therefore, any unsuccessful political move by Malenkov could be his last. And here you can sneer at the weakness of Malenkov, who did not see the Makhnovets in Khrushchev. But Malenkov's trouble lay in the fact that he could not alone pull the whole carton for the Central Committee of the CPSU, in which the partocrats preferred to live carelessly on the laurels of victory in the Great Fatherland War. And as for the "weak" Malenkov, nobody could launch a powerful flywheel of rocket construction.
After Malenkov's departure, there was also discord with China, since no one could work with the CCP on the system of developing the economic base of Lenin's electrification, except for Stalin and Malenkov. In fact, in Moscow, at that time, a small "Maydan" began to appear in the CPSU Central Committee, hidden from the broad masses, and only occasionally reminded of itself in the form of flooding inflation or the shooting of workers' protest against the price increase in Novocherkassk. Partocracy began to live only for themselves, eliminating all criticism from below. As a result of the stalemate, the Lenin-Stalin economic electrification base began to crumble, affecting half the world's population. The pace of economic growth quickly declined to the size of one Russia. The reason for the stagnation: the country could no longer increase the rate of high labour productivity and thus was deprived of the opportunity to lead the entire world army of Labour in a revolutionary way.
Speaking of Malenkov, one should turn to the executive levers of his power to understand how progressive they are and what political burden he was to bear. First of all, the question arises: why, as the leader of the state, was Malenkov so weak that he could not continue the high rate of labour productivity begun by Lenin and Stalin?
The whole point is that Malenkov will, after the assassination of Beria, be the only representative in the leading structures of the USSR, able to understand all aspects of the world revolution of the proletariat and pull along half of the world population that supported the USSR at that time. For this world revolution was based on the economic basis of Lenin's electrification, which rejected the permanent revolution of Parvus-Trotsky. But unlike the military solution of the Parvus-Trotsky issue, Lenin's peaceful economic base for electrification was much more complicated. Having declared in 1920 a movement towards communism through the economic basis of electrification, Lenin was forced to engage in a tough fight with the "left" and right deviation in the party, which compromised his health and by May of 1922 he had fallen into a hospital bed. Stalin was well aware of the threat of these deviations in the party and led with them a bitter struggle in which he could win. Malenkov, who succeeded him, did not have such experience and could not keep himself in the Stalinist framework of behavior, so his partners in the CPSU Central Committee simply trampled him. Partocracy simply hated the economic basis of Lenin's electrification and did not want to drag the constant burden of increasing labour productivity, which greatly hampered their well-fed and well-off life.
Malenkov was brought to such a state that he had no opportunity to somehow demonstrate his scientific knowledge. If Molotov was reinstated in the CPSU and he was able to realize himself ideologically, Malenkov had no such opportunity. The only institution where he could be listened to in the late 80's will be the Russian church, where he could break out of the grip of loneliness and at least be able to talk to someone.
Therefore, raising today the issues of raising labour productivity and not knowing the sources of its destruction in the Soviet Union means repeating the same story for Russia, only with the Vlasov "Maydan" imposed on us and the vast uniqueness of the oligarchy.
The results of the SPIEF'18 for Russia's capital most closely resemble the familiar image of the knight at the crossroads, for which there is no possible living path of movement. The movement directly for capital turns into attacks of its own and others. They exsanguinate the financial system, exporting capital to the banks of their Western partners and reliably there hide from domestic taxes. Aliens are hitting the capital directly in Russia, organizing sanctions against its bearers. There are no motives for self-expansion of capital.
Turning to the right turns into a return to the criminal nineties, with the revival of the pro-Western organization of the NTS, operating under the wing of the CIA and justifying at every step the figure of the Hitlerite SS - Vlasov, and simultaneously carrying out the fascization of the crime. In such circumstances, local liberals will plunder any investment before they are able to prove to themselves of some kind of self-growth.
A turn to the left gives two known deviations - the Trotskyite and Bukharinites, with which the present communist movement is filled and which successfully blended into the current government. In order to achieve a self-expansion of capital investments in this direction, it is necessary to use the economic base of Lenin's electrification and lead the working class of Russia and our allies in other countries that will support such class policy and its political vanguard. And it is necessary to go on towards the revival of the USSR.
For this purpose, only one recognition of the significance of Stalin is not enough. At this turn it is necessary to know the history of the creation of a nuclear-missile shield under the leadership of L.P. Beria and G.M. Malenkov and adopt the economic policy of increasing labour productivity, carried out under their leadership. That is, without erecting on the pedestal L. Beria and G. Malenkov no self-growth is possible. We do not need a pedestal for the creators of a nuclear missile shield as an ornament of the past. It is necessary as an ideological start for an exit and strenghtening in the Universe in the future, where huge energies await us, which we must master.
Here are some of the thoughts that come to mind of an ordinary observer when he looks at the confident arguments of the forum participants about the implementation of the May decrees of President Vladimir Putin at the SPIEF'18.
