On May 9, on Victory Day in Novosibirsk, the third largest metropolis of the country, a significant event took place - a monument to an outstanding statesman and political figure of the world, a loyal student and successor of the Great Lenin, the leader of the world's first socialist state of workers and peasants - was opened at a solemn rally Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a talented architect of socialism, the greatest commander, the Generalissimo of Victory, the leader of the working class, the working people, oppressed and the destitute of all countries of the world - to Stalin!
Monument to Generalissimo Stalin erected on people's donations. During the three-year campaign, 540,000 rubles were raised, half of them on more than 100 pickets, the other half via the Internet from all over the country. The monument is truly national!
The monument to I.V. Stalin was installed on the initiative of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB).
The three meter high monument is a red granite stela with a bust of I.V. Stalin, depicted in his marshal's uniform with the Star of Hero of Socialist Labor. On the stela is carved: "Generalissimo of the Soviet Union STALIN". The bronze Order “Victory” is placed on the granite stele. On one of the lower granite curbstones carved: "The monument is installed on people's donations." Left and right of the monument to I.V. Stalin are placed red granite slabs, on one of them carved the words of Generalissimo I.V. Stalin:
“The Soviet people saved the civilization of Europe from the fascist pogromists by their selfless struggle. This is the great merit of the Soviet people to the history of mankind. "
On the other granite slab there is a carved quatrain from Alexander Vertinsky’s poem “HE”:
How high he lifted up the power
The leader of the Soviet people's friends,
And what a worldwide fame
He created for his homeland!
Today, the truth of history sweeps from its path the vile lies and slander of the enemies of socialism and Soviet power, who have more than half a century angrily slandered Stalin, trying to smear his bright image with mud, to erase him from the memory of the Soviet people. But the truth of the story cannot be killed or hidden.
Today Stalin’s authority is record high - 70% of the population positively assesses his role in the history of the country. People have a lot to compare: how they lived in the Soviet Union and how they live in the conditions of the destructive liberal policies of the genocide of the country and the nation. The growing prestige of Stalin reflects the people's demand for the ideals of social justice, the ideals of socialism.
Stalin prophetically said: “Time will pass, and the eyes of new generations will be turned to the deeds and victories of our socialist Fatherland. Year after year, new people will come. They will again raise the banner of their fathers and grandfathers. And they will give us their due in full. ” This time is a time of respect and admiration for the heroic feats of our grandfathers and fathers, who built and defended socialism under the leadership of Great Stalin, knocking on the door!
One of the speakers at the rally in honor of the opening of the monument to Generalissimo Stalin said:
“With the name of Stalin went on the attack -“ For the Motherland, for Stalin! ”- this is not a literary stamp, but life, a story that you need to know and remember. The winners, who returned from the front, restored the country's economy under the leadership of the Communist Party and its leader Stalin ... No matter how much time you spend today to slander our heroes, history and time puts everything in its place ... Today we are doing our duty to the winners. We must keep each name, and the name of the person who led the army and the country, especially. ”
In one of the speeches, it was also noted that “a monument was erected at the request of the people who demand truth and justice” and that Stalin is a historical figure whose role in Russian history cannot be denied or politicized, and history itself must be honored.
The head of the Novosibirsk regional branch of the AUCPB, Alexei Denisyuk, said at the rally:
- First of all, Stalin is a Bolshevik, a revolutionary, a staunch fighter for the liberation of the working people from the oppression of capital. Honoring Stalin means fighting for his cause. This is especially important for us, young Bolsheviks, who will adopt the banner of the struggle for socialism and continue the struggle for the revival of our Soviet Motherland.
That battle, the battle that we gave to the enemies-liberals, who viciously raged against the monument to I.V. Stalin, has gone. We came out of this battle as winners. And we will be sure that the time will come, and again our Red Banner will fly over the gray towers of the Kremlin.
Under the banner of Lenin - Stalin - we will win!
A.V. Denisyuk
