Grateful memory of the people returns Stalin to the pedestal




On August 22, an initiative group of citizens, at the initiative of the AUCPB, again applied to the mayor's office of the city of Novosibirsk with a statement on the approval of the installation of a monument to J.V. Stalin on Red Avenue near the Officers' House (in the center), or on the square. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovskom square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress"). The statement and draft projects will be considered by the City Hall's art council in the second half of September.

Recall that the bust of J.V. Stalin and the granite pedestal are already prepared. More money is needed to improve the site for the installation of the monument. Over two years of the campaign, 450,000 people's rubles have already been raised.

Below we publish a statement submitted by the initiative group to the mayor's office:

STATEMENT on the coordination of the location of the monument to J.V. Stalin on the Red Avenue near the Officers' House, or on the Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankohydropress")

We, the initiative group of citizens of the city of Novosibirsk consisting of: Denisyuk AV, Metzler OV, Dushkina LS, Tataru AG, Krasavin PV, Boger Yu.L., Minibaev E.A. ., Yushkov IV, Pronchenko IV, Laptev RV, Kopylov SI, Boyko S.V.  propose to install a monument to Generalissimo Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin on Krasny Prospekt near the Officers' House, or on Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress").

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Dzhugashvili) is the greatest statesman and politician, the largest commander, pupil and continuer of the cause of great Lenin, the leader of the world's first multinational state of workers and peasants - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the leader of the working class, working people, oppressed and deprived masses of the world . J.V. Stalin became in history as the largest politician of the twentieth century, as the creator of the first socialist state in history - the forerunner of the future communist formation.

As the largest proletarian revolutionary, J.V. Stalin became one of the main organizers of the struggle of the Russian proletariat against tsarism, the landlords and the bourgeoisie, the preparation and implementation of the socialist revolution in Russia. His role in the struggle against the White Guards and interventionists during the Civil War, in the industrialization of the USSR, in the collectivization of agriculture, in the cultural revolution, in the struggle for building socialism, for the independence of the Soviet country, and for the consolidation of peace throughout the world is great.

Under the leadership of J.V. Stalin, Russia  became a great industrial, nuclear and space superpower of the world, which was respected. The victory of socialism in the USSR under the leadership of J.V. Stalin became a torch of struggle in the eyes of the oppressed of all countries of the world.

The colossal role of Stalin is indisputable. Stalin as the leader of the Soviet people in the defeat of German fascism in the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, in the formation after their termination of a powerful world socialist and democratic camp led by the USSR.

Nobody can erase from the memory of the people that the Soviet soldiers rose and went on the attack with the words "FOR THE MOTHERLAND, FOR STALIN!"

Creation by assignment J.V. Stalin and the test in the Soviet Union in August 1949 of an atomic bomb prevented the very possibility of unleashing World War III with the use of nuclear weapons by former allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The creation of an atomic bomb in the USSR ensured the preservation of life itself on the planet Earth and the peaceful labor of people for half a century.

The activities of J.V. Stalin at the top post of the state was highly appreciated by the Soviet people. He was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor (1939), Hero of the Soviet Union (1945), Marshal of the Soviet Union (1943) and Generalissimo of the Soviet Union (1945). He was awarded three Orders of Lenin, the Order of Victory, the Red Banner, Suvorov 1st Class and medals.

It was during the years of the Stalin Five-Year Plans that Novosibirsk became the largest industrial, political, scientific and cultural center in the east of the country, the third largest megapolis of the country of the Soviets after Moscow and Leningrad.

On personal orders of J.V. Stalin in Novosibirsk and throughout Siberia during the war hundreds of defense and other enterprises were deployed. Stalin personally met with the Siberian guardsmen, celebrated the heroism and courage of the Sibiryak warriors. Stalin in his telegrams notes the high merits of the Siberian rear in ensuring the victory. The 150th Rifle Siberian Volunteer Division was named after Stalin.

Stalin was in Novosibirsk in March 1917 after the February Revolution, participated in a rally at the Main Station, returning from the Turukhansk exile. January 18, 1928 J.V. Stalin spoke at the meeting of Sibkraikoma in Novosibirsk on the issue of the country's exit from the acute grain procurement crisis organized by the kulaks with the aim of strangling the Soviet power with hunger.

Many streets, parks and houses of culture of the city of Novosibirsk were named after the Leader. Lenin Street was called Stalin Avenue, the House of Culture. October Revolution was called the House of Culture after Stalin, the Central Park of Culture and Recreation after Stalin.A monument to J.V. Stalin stood in the center of the city on the Red Avenue (on the site of the present Chapel), the monuments of J.V. Stalin was standing in the Central Park of Culture and Recreation and at the Monument of Glory near the cinema "Metallurg" and in many other places.

After the death of Stalin at the direction of Khrushchev, the monuments were illegally demolished, and the name and deeds of the Leader were slandered. We demand the restoration of historical justice. The construction of Stalin on a pedestal in the center of one of the largest megalopolis of the country will put an end to the blackout of the memory of the Leader and all our glorious heroic Soviet era.

Today, Stalin's authority among the people is the highest and most popular among the last decades and among other outstanding statesmen not only in Russia.

We propose to put a monument to J.V. Stalin on November 7 to the 101st anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution or on December 21 to the 139th anniversary of the birth of Stalin.

Considering all of the above, please coordinate the location of the monument to Generalissimo  Stalin in the center of the city of Novosibirsk on the Red Avenue near the Officers' House, or on Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress").
