Public discussions on the project to install the monument to J.V. Stalin in the city caused a heart-rending squeal of our enemies - liberals of all colors and shades. Liberals- "democrats" immediately demanded that public discussions be canceled and the installation of the monument to J.V. Stalin. The expert of the artistic council, an employee of the museum of the city of Golodyaev called for "voting against the monument to the tyrant and murderer." The head of the local “Memorial”, Rudnitsky, threatens to sue for “insulting millions of repressed people”, etc.
City Hall immediately went back down. On October 15, a meeting was held with the chairman of the artistic council, advisor to the mayor Lozhkin. At the meeting he, demonstrating before us a “bundle” of liberal letters received by the mayor’s office (numerous letters of our supporters are ignored), stated that “due to mass repressions we will not approve the installation of the monument in a public space”, “I will oppose the installation of an ambiguous monument figure, ”and told us the“ proposal ”of the mayor of the city of Elbow instead of the sites in question to install a monument to I.V. Stalin on the territory of the Novosibirsk Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (in the private sector on ul. Bolshevistskaya, 29), next to the house of wooden architecture.
Now it is clear why the mayor’s office urgently started these “public discussions” - we need “arguments” against the monument to Stalin.
"Either the territory of the regional committee, or nothing," said Lozhkin.
On October 16, Mayor Lokot at a briefing with journalists voiced this proposal, and on the same day the bureau of the Communist Party Regional Committee (meeting which was held on October 15) officially published an appeal with a proposal to install a monument to I.V. Stalin on the territory of the Communist Party Regional Committee. Prior to that, the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for two and a half years since the beginning of our initiative was silent.
The question is, why was the decision of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation adopted by such a narrow circle of people - at the bureau of the regional committee, not even at the plenum of the regional committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation or at a regional conference? They are afraid of the critics of ordinary members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, who for the most part favor the installation of a monument to J.V. Stalin in the city center?
On the proposal of the mayor and the Bureau of the Communist Party regional committee, we did not give consent. We stated that at the upcoming meeting of the artistic council in November of this year, the question to be decided is not about whether to install a monument or not in the city, but about the place of its installation in accordance with the decision adopted in September 2017. Monument to Generalissimo J.V. Stalin should be installed in the historically significant, central part of the city or near the objects of military glory. As for the territory of the Communist Party Regional Committee, what could be the historical and architectural substantiation of the installation of the monument to the Supreme Commander of the period of the Great Patriotic War of 1941 - 45? near the house of wooden architecture?
Novosibirsk is the largest megalopolis of Russia, in the city there are many parks, squares, monuments of military glory. Is there really no decent place for the monument to the Generalissimo?
The Novosibirsk Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and its first secretary, the mayor of the city of Elbow, cowardly back on Liberals who, with vicious anti-Stalinism and anti-Sovietism, poison the minds of the younger generation, to make an easily controlled herd of “Ivanov not remembering kinship.” In other words, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is adapting to the system of bourgeois liberal power.
Can we agree with this "position" of the Communist Party?
It is enough to cite the “comment” of one such “Ivan” on the Taiga.info website on a proposal to erect a monument to J.V. to Stalin in the territory of the Communist Party regional committee, and not in public space, to understand who would be the loudest to applaud such a decision: “In addition to the Communists, he did not surrender to anyone, let him put it there. There is nothing to sculpt it into the city, but try to make some kind of a landmark out of it. ”
It is no coincidence that Mr. Lozhkin said that if we agree with the proposal of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, even he will vote “for” - no, not for the monument to Stalin, but for the gateway.
In a statement, the bureau of the Communist Party Regional Committee "optimistically" states that "the installation of the bust to J.V. Stalin in the regional committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will not be able to cause opposition from the controlling and authorities, in addition, finding a monument in a protected area will cool down the activity of anti-communist vandals. ”
Is it so?
First, it is opposed by the mayor of Novosibirsk, which is headed by the first secretary of the Novosibirsk regional committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. It turns out, "will not be able to cause opposition" by themselves? The decision of the artistic council is a recommendation, the final decision is made by the mayor: whether he can agree or not with the “recommendations” of the artistic council. It turns out that it is not the residents of the city who decide what the authorities are chattering about all the time, but the liberals headed by Lozhkin.
What are you afraid of, gentlemen from the Communist Party? "Quarrel" with the liberals? Lose the "swamp voices" and your warm chairs?
Having enlisted the support of the residents of the city, veterans and other public organizations, there is no doubt that it is necessary to seek a positive decision, especially since there are our active supporters among the members of the city council’s artistic council. But the Communist Party of the Communist Party prefers to sit for two and a half years.
A monument to Alexander III is already standing in Novosibirsk, recently erected to Nicholas II and Prince Vladimir the Baptist of Russia. And now it is also planned to install a six-meter bronze monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the mayor’s office offers for him a platform near the city center near the Ascension Cathedral. The mayor's office with one stroke of the pen coordinates these monuments (Alexander III was still staged under the former mayor) - but not to Stalin.
And secondly, the bureau of the Communist Party regional committee should temper its "optimistic" ardor. To install the monument on the territory of the regional committee, the “consent” of the artistic council is also required, moreover, the permission of the department for the protection of cultural heritage of the government of the NSO is also required. Lozhkin has already stated that the mayor’s office will not approve even the territory of Efremovsky Square, proposed by the mayoralty itself, as in the case with the Aviation College proposed earlier by him. Pokryshkina. The question is, why then all these public discussions, etc., etc., if the question is already predetermined? Will not the same thing happen with the CPRF regional committee: today they offer, but tomorrow they refuse?
As for acts of vandalism, the closed territory does not give guarantees against the actions of vandals (four years ago, vandals entered the regional committee at night and smeared Lenin’s bust with a fascist swastika). In our opinion, it is necessary to achieve the inclusion of the monument of I.V. Stalin in the municipal register of cultural heritage and attracting liberalizing and fascist elements under the relevant article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in case of acts of vandalism.
In all cities where there is a struggle for the good name of the Leader, social activists seek to install his monuments in a decent public place. So, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur they propose to put busts to Soviet commanders, including the bust of J.V. Stalin, on the waterfront in the alley, which is adjacent to the memorial complex.
On the same, we stood and will stand. We do not accept the proposals of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to erect a monument on its territory and will continue to take part in public discussions and prepare for the meeting of the artistic council, where we will defend our position.
