December 21, 2019 marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Dzhugashvili), an outstanding statesman and political figure of the 20th century, the leader of the Bolshevik party and the Soviet state, a brilliant tactician and strategist of the proletarian revolution, a student and successor of the work of Great Lenin, one of the organizers of the Great Lenin of the October Socialist Revolution and the world's first multinational socialist state of the dictatorship of the proletariat - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, talented architect of socialism in the USSR, theoretician of Marxism-Leninism, a prominent commander during World War II, the leader of the world proletariat, whose name is on a par with Marx, Engels and Lenin.
And the further time takes us away from the Stalin era “through worlds and centuries”, and the more frantically the liberal fifth column of traitors and traitors of the socialist Motherland and historically great Russia and containing all this filth of imperialist servants abroad freaks out in impotent malicious slander against Stalin, the more the gigantic figure of I.V. Stalin, the more significant are the heroic creations of the Soviet people in the era of socialist construction under the leadership of Stalin, the more legendary is the heroic victory of the Soviet people in defeating fascism under the leadership of Stalin, the more you realize the historical significance of the breakthrough of humanity under the leadership of Stalin in building a just socialist society in the interests of the working man.
Yes, under the leadership of Stalin, the great Soviet Russia, uniting about 200 million (according to the census until the middle of 1941) peoples of different nations, nationalities and nationalities in the USSR, Socialist Russia, spreading on 1/6 of the earth’s land, in less than 10 post-war years under the leadership of Stalin made a powerful leap forward in its development, which boasted capitalist Europe took a whole century.
The USSR under the leadership of Stalin was a country of heroes, a country of dreamers, a country of scientists. The result of Stalin's wise national policy was born a new special community - the Soviet people.
Each citizen of the USSR had a clear goal in life, a belief in achieving a better future for himself and his children. Each person in the great country of the Soviets could fulfill his dream and become what he wanted to be.
Under Stalin, the world's best education system was created, which to a large extent ensured the enormous pace of the development of science, the creation of new technologies, the discovery of new mineral deposits and the development of natural resources with a careful attitude to nature and its inhabitants. The increase in mass literacy of all layers of Soviet society also contributed to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The Soviet Union under Stalin was the banner and beacon of the struggle of the oppressed nations for their freedom and independence, inspired the peoples of the world to fight against colonialism and slavery.
The influence of Stalin’s activity on the historical process of civilization and on our present life turned out to be so great that it seems that Stalin did not become a thing of the past, but disappeared into the future and remains among us. And, despite the rabid anti-Stalinist powerful propaganda of all the bourgeois media in Russia and abroad, trying to remove Stalin from Soviet (Russian) history, every year more and more people respect and even love Stalin’s name, erect monuments to him, publish books ... Every year a mountain of red carnations grows at the monument to Stalin on his grave near the Kremlin wall in Moscow on memorable days - December 21 and March 5 of each year.
Every year, the study of the phenomenal ideological and theoretical legacy of Stalin, the invaluable practical experience of the economic construction of socialism, the Stalinist socio-political strategy of building a socialist state and the military strategy that always defeats the enemy becomes more and more popular.
Until the victory of the October Revolution, Stalin always stood at the center of the practical revolutionary struggle.
Being the largest proletarian revolutionary, Stalin, during the period of the struggle against tsarism, capitalists and landlords, was carrying out tireless revolutionary activity to organize and unite the working class, an irreconcilable struggle against opportunism, for the Leninist line of the revolution. Stalin is working tirelessly to train professional revolutionaries, to create a new type of party and to unite the best working class people in it, a party capable of organizing workers to successfully fight capitalism.
Stalin believed that it was impossible to think about the overthrow of imperialism, the conquest of the dictatorship of the working class, the victory of socialism "without a revolutionary party, free from opportunism, irreconcilable with respect to the Compromisers and capitulants, revolutionary with respect to the bourgeoisie and its state power" (I.V. Stalin).
Throughout their revolutionary activity, on the issues of the program, tactics, strategy and organization of the revolution, on the theory of Marxism, Stalin stood on the side of Lenin. During this period, Stalin showed himself to be a profound theorist of Marxism ("Marxism and the National Question", 1913, Vienna). Lenin considered this work of Stalin programmatic on the national question.
Stalin combined “theoretical power with the practical and organizational experience of the proletarian movement”, as he himself said, characterizing Lenin as the leader of the proletarian revolution and the proletarian party.
The enormous role of Stalin in organizing the Great October Socialist Revolution, in defeating the White Guard counter-revolution and foreign intervention during the Civil War. Stalin, waging an irreconcilable struggle with the capitulists Zinoviev, Kamenev, Bukharin and Trotsky, who was annexing the party, immediately supported Lenin’s line to the transition to the second, socialist stage of the revolution, headed the Practical Center for organizing an armed uprising and carried out tremendous organizational work to transfer power to those born in the fire Revolution to the Soviets.
Lenin, Stalin and other Bolshevik commanders, not Trotsky, contrary to popular anti-Stalin myths, were the true leaders and organizers of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army. During the civil war, Lenin personally sent Stalin to the most dangerous sectors of the front. Stalin waged an irreconcilable struggle against the disorganizing activities of Trotsky, who sent his close agents and counter-revolutionary white generals to the army headquarters, undermining the fronts and rear of the Red Army.
At the suggestion of Lenin, after the victory of the October Revolution, Stalin was appointed People's Commissar for Nationalities. He did a great job to create the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - the world's first multinational socialist state of workers and peasants. Contrary to popular myths, there were no disagreements between Stalin and Lenin on the construction of the USSR.
Stalin especially emphasized the need to maintain friendship between the peoples of the USSR. “... Friendship between the peoples of the USSR is a great and serious conquest. For as long as this friendship exists, the peoples of our country will be free and invincible. Nobody is afraid of us, neither internal nor external enemies, as long as this friendship lives and lives. ” That is why the enemies of socialism and international imperialism during the period of bourgeois counter-revolution in the USSR first of all directed their efforts to quarrel the peoples of the USSR, incite ethnic hatred and hatred, and above all, hatred of the Russian people.
"After the death of V.I. Lenin’s business — the continuation of building socialism in one particular country, the strengthening of the organizing force of socialist construction — the Communist Party of Bolsheviks — was continued by his loyal disciple and follower I.V. Stalin. Under Stalin, under his direct leadership, the Soviet people built a powerful foundation of socialism, brought the country to the level of a superpower of the world, and defeated fascism in World War II. I.V. Stalin theoretically developed and outlined the main paths for the gradual transition from socialism to communism, consisting in the destruction of commodity production and commodity-money relations (“The Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR”) "(N. Andreeva. The Future is Socialism. L., 2018, p. 406).
Stalin in his work especially emphasized that "commodity circulation is incompatible with the prospect of a transition from socialism to communism" (IV Stalin. Economic problems of socialism in the USSR. 1952, p. 215).
After the death of Lenin, the top leadership of the party and the Soviet state did not begin the struggle for personal power, as the falsifiers of history blow it, but the struggle for one or another line of the party. The line that Stalin defended, continuing Lenin's line on the construction of socialism in a single country, is to preserve the gains of the revolution, the construction of socialism in the USSR. Another line, the line of the capitulators and Trotsky, is the line of the defeat of the revolution, of the restoration of capitalism in the USSR.
Thanks to Stalin, the first line won - the construction of socialism in the USSR. Stalin puts forward a grand economic program and directs the country's economic activity.
Under the leadership of Stalin, the industrialization of the national economy of the USSR, the collectivization of agriculture, the cultural revolution, the foundation of socialism in the USSR was built. At the end of the 30s in the conditions of a tense international situation, the country was steadily increasing its economic potential and strengthening its defense capability.
Stalin is the creator of the new most democratic Constitution in the world. Adopted in 1936, the new Constitution of the USSR consolidated the gains of socialism, really guaranteeing the rights of workers by the socialist economic system. The allegations that the Stalin Constitution eliminated the dictatorship of the proletariat are untenable. On the contrary, the new Constitution expanded and strengthened the social base of the dictatorship of the proletariat, involving all sectors of the population in the participation in economic construction and
government management.
The Soviet social and state system, enshrined in the Stalin Constitution of 1936, successfully passed a test of strength in the harsh years of World War II.
In 1938, at the XVIII Congress of the CPSU (B.), Stalin noted that the USSR entered the period of completing the construction of socialism in the USSR and the gradual transition to communism. For two five-year periods, the USSR, led by Stalin, went the way that capitalist countries took 50-100 years, ahead of them in terms of economic growth and the level of use of the most advanced technology. In the 50s, the country came first in Europe and second in the world in industrial production, and third in the world in labor productivity. Stalin set the task to overtake the West economically, that is, in terms of per capita production by creating a new, much higher labor productivity than to capitalist countries. “Per capita production is the main measure of the country's economic power, there is no other measure” (IV Stalin. Soch., Vol. 18, 2006, p. 573). “Labor productivity, in the final analysis, is the most important, most important thing for the victory of the new social system” (V.I. Lenin. Poln. Sobr. Soch., Vol. 39, p. 21). Stalin's breakthrough ideas in the economy and the invaluable experience of building a socialist economy are still awaiting reflection (and application) in the modern situation, which has revealed the bankruptcy and tendency to collapse of the now liberal economic structure of capitalism that prevails in the Russian Federation.
The treacherous invasion of Nazi Germany on the territory of the USSR interrupted the peaceful labor of the Soviet people.
In the conditions of the victories of socialism in the USSR and the growing authority of socialism in the hearts of millions of working people all over the world, the international imperialist reaction sharply intensified. In Germany, Hitler came to power with the support of the imperialists of the United States and England. The Western powers are betting on Hitler in the defeat of the USSR.
Inside the USSR, the ideologically defeated opposition by Stalin, led by Trotsky, who was expelled from the USSR, goes underground, activates anti-Soviet activities, sabotage, sabotage, sabotage, terror against state leaders, trying to overthrow the Stalinist leadership. They had no other way to implement their plans than to seek support from Nazi Germany. The opposition relies on the defeat of the USSR in the war against Nazi Germany, recognizing Hitler’s political and territorial claims to dismember the USSR.
The great merit of Stalin lies in the fact that he defeated the internal counter-revolutionary anti-Soviet underground opposition in the USSR (the “fifth column”), which could not accept the loss of power, longed to return it at all costs, which naturally brought it to the service of bourgeois intelligence and Nazi Germany.
Events 1937-1938 (the so-called "Stalinist repression") were caused by the aggravation of the class struggle in the conditions of the successes of socialism and the intensification of international reaction. The struggle was not for life, but for the death of two opposing socio-political systems - socialism and capitalism. In the rear of the country, in the top military and state leadership of the country, the anti-Soviet underground led by Trotsky, who was abroad, intensified in collaboration with German and Japanese intelligence. Contrary to the speculations of today's liberals, Soviet law enforcement agencies did not prosecute anti-Soviet elements for their social and national identity, but for specific state crimes against the Soviet government and its representatives.
The Soviet Union — the world's first socialist state of workers and peasants — was in danger of annihilation, and the peoples of the USSR — in extermination and enslavement. Contrary to the current cries of the Russian liberals, Stalin acted very far-sighted, having cleared the country's rear of elements of betrayal and treason. This was on the eve of the battle with fascism. The rout of the anti-Soviet underground ensured the unity of the front and rear during the war.
In response to Stalin’s embittered blasphemy from descendants of the repressed about the so-called “Stalinist repressions,” we cite the opinion of the anti-Bolshevik (as he defined himself) the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Government of Russia Pavel Milyukov (1859-1943), who, shortly before his death, published in an émigré press article, “The Truth About Bolshevism,” he wrote: “The people there have changed, become much more developed, quicker. Soviet power is everything for them. She brought them to people, and they do not want anything else. The Soviet citizen is proud of his belonging to the Bolshevik state. He is a patriot. This is the strength of Russia ... Their great victories oblige them to reconsider their previous attitude to the new Russia. When you see the goal achieved in Soviet Russia, you better understand the significance of the extraordinary means that led to it. Otherwise, we would have to mercilessly condemn the behavior of our Peter the Great. ”
When carrying out actions to defeat the fifth column, there were a number of distortions in the work of the organs of NKVD and prosecutors. The reason for this was that Trotskyites, careerists and anti-Soviet elements crawled into the highest and local bodies of the NKVD, who, through unreasonable repression, served their superiors, tried to confuse investigative and agent cases in every possible way, deliberately violated Soviet laws, made massive and unreasonable arrests, at the same time, saving their accomplices from the identification and defeat, especially those who were in the NKVD bodies. The aim of these anti-Soviet elements was the desire to smash the cadres of the party, to sow doubts in the minds of the working people about the correctness of Stalin's policy. Often people came under repression at the insinuations of their personal "close friends."
Errors made in 1937-1938 bodies of the NKVD and the prosecutor's office, were analyzed and corrected. Socialist legality was restored, a number of important decisions of the party and the state on the work of the NKVD and other bodies of Soviet justice were adopted, cases were sent for review. The execution of execution sentences was immediately prohibited. Only in 1939 and 3 months of 1940, Beria, who came to the Lubyanka, helped release 381,178 people, and by the beginning of the war - about 130 thousand more people, not to mention tens of thousands of those who were rehabilitated.
“The opposition in the USSR was diverse, but almost all of its branches pursued the same goal - the liquidation of the country's leadership, the dismemberment of the USSR and the subordination of the country to the West. Since in the fight against the Soviet Union, headed by I.V. Stalin, the opposition was openly ready to trade in the national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the USSR, the historical dispute could be resolved only on the basis of "either - or". No other thing was given in those historical conditions. Note that before 1945 and after the main task of the West was not simply to destroy the USSR, but to destroy its ideological base - Bolshevism, first of all. It is in Bolshevism that the West has seen and is now seeing the essence of its main geopolitical adversary ”(N. Andreeva. The future is with socialism. L., 2018, p. 285-286).
In 1938 - 39 years. Hitler Germany’s aggressiveness is becoming more active in Europe. The imperialists of the United States, Britain and France sought to ward off fascist aggression and direct it to the USSR with the goal of destroying the world's first socialist state and the very ideology of Bolshevism, which was increasingly gaining popularity among the working people of the capitalist countries.
Already in these years, Stalin showed brilliant diplomatic abilities. After negotiations between the USSR and England and France reached an impasse due to the desire of the latter to isolate the Soviet Union and send fascist Germany to it, Stalin accepts the German proposal for a non-aggression treaty between the USSR and Germany. This treaty thwarted the plans of the Anglo-French imperialists to create a single anti-Soviet coalition. The war did not begin between the USSR and Germany, which England, France and the USA sought, but between Germany, on the one hand, and the USSR, France, England, the USA, on the other, which led to the creation of the anti-Hitler coalition.
The Soviet-German non-aggression pact (the so-called Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) allowed the Soviet Union to push its borders far to the west and gain time to prepare the country for war, to establish the production of new types of military equipment that surpassed its German counterparts in combat qualities. The condition for concluding the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty was I.V. Stalin to Germany to give the USSR a loan of 200 million marks on preferential terms and to begin supplying equipment for military factories and licenses for the production of military equipment and weapons under this loan. This credit and subsequent trade agreements with Germany were used by Stalin to prepare for war. As a result of this treaty, militaristic Japan did not dare to start a war with the USSR, which made it possible to avoid a war on two fronts, which would be detrimental to the USSR.
It is foolish and provocative to say today that Stalin trusted Hitler. Stalin understood that war with fascist Germany was inevitable - it was only a matter of time.
The aggressiveness of Nazi Germany was growing rapidly (including thanks to the “fifth columns” operating in Europe). By the summer of 1941, the peoples of Europe were under Hitler’s heel, and the economic potential of the countries of Europe was placed at the service of the fascist war machine.
All honest people on the planet looked at Stalin as a person who could stop and destroy the brown plague. Maxim Gorky in his letter to Stalin wrote: “The closer to the war, the more vigilant the bastards of all stripes will try to kill you in order to decapitate the Union.” This is natural, because the enemies see well: there is no one to replace you. With your colossal and wise work, you inspired millions of people to trust and love you, this is a fact ... Take care of yourself. World - world - hatred of all the scoundrels and bastards towards you tells you about your size, the significance of your work is also eloquent and convincing
but like the ardent love of all honest, sincere revolutionaries. ”
From the first hours of World War II I.V. Stalin took upon himself the heaviest burden of personal responsibility for the fate of the country, people and army. He gave all his strength, all his will and all his talent to the cause of saving the Fatherland, protecting its independence, and defeating fascism. Stalin served as Chairman of the Soviet Government, was appointed Chairman of the State Defense Committee, People’s Commissar of Defense, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the USSR and remained at these posts until the victorious end of the war.
Wishing to denigrate Stalin, the liberals say that it was not Stalin who won the war, but the people. But no sane person can claim that one can win a battle against the will and talent of the commander, for any victory is, to a large extent, a victory of the intellect and organizational abilities of the commander, leader.
Soviet commanders and diplomats who personally knew Stalin note the unique organizational, commander and diplomatic abilities of Stalin. "I.V. Stalin was the strongest and most colorful figure of the strategic command ”(A.M. Vasilevsky). Stalin successfully carried out leadership of the fronts, all the country's military efforts and was able to exert a significant influence on the leading political and military leaders of the allied countries in the war.
Stalin during the years of the war proved himself not only as an outstanding commander, but also as a visionary diplomat. Stalin led numerous conferences with representatives of three great powers - the USSR, the USA and Great Britain, at which Stalin consistently defended the interests of the Soviet people and peoples who fell victim to the aggression of fascist Germany.
Even the allies of the anti-Hitler coalition, contrary to the current rulers of Russia, praised the activities of Stalin
Winston Churchill, speaking in December 1959 in the House of Lords with a speech dedicated to the eightieth birthday of JV Stalin, said:
“It was great happiness for Russia that, during the years of difficult trials, it was led by such a genius and an unshakable commander as Joseph Stalin. He was an outstanding personality, quite consistent with the cruel period of history in which his whole life passed.
Stalin was a man of extraordinary energy, erudition and unbending will, sharp, tough, merciless both in business and in conversation, which even I, raised in the English parliament, could not oppose.
Stalin had a great sense of humor and sarcasm, as well as the ability to accurately express his thoughts. Stalin always wrote articles and speeches himself, and gigantic power sounded in his works. This power is so great in Stalin that it seemed unique among the leaders of states of all times and peoples.
Stalin made an indelible impression on us. His influence on people was irresistible. When he entered the hall at the Yalta Conference, we all, as if on command, got up and, strange thing, for some reason held our hands at the seams.
He possessed deep wisdom and logic, alien to any panic. Stalin was an unsurpassed master in finding in difficult moments the way out of the most hopeless situation.
In the most tragic moments, as in the days of the celebration, Stalin was equally restrained, never succumbed to illusions. He was an unusually complex person.
Stalin created and subjugated a vast empire. He was a man who destroyed his enemy by the hands of his own enemies, forcing even us, whom he openly called imperialists, to fight against imperialists.
Stalin was the greatest dictator unparalleled in the world. He accepted Russia with a plow, and left it equipped with atomic weapons.
No matter what they say about Stalin, such a story and peoples do not forget. ”
Stalin's undoubted merit during the war was that under his leadership as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Soviet Armed Forces survived defensive campaigns, brilliantly carried out all offensive operations, defeated Nazi Germany, saved the peoples of Europe from enslavement, and many nations from destruction.
“We survived our system, the party, our peoples and, above all, the Russian people, which Stalin called the most outstanding nation of all the nations that make up the Soviet Union. Stalin, like no one, understood the great historical mission and the difficult mission of the Russian people ”(V.M. Molotov).
Outstanding activity I.V. Stalin was highly appreciated by the Soviet people, who loved him sincerely. He was awarded the titles of Hero of Socialist Labor (1939), Hero of the Soviet Union (1945) and Generalissimo of the Soviet Union. He was awarded three orders of Lenin, orders of Victory, Red Banner, Suvorov I degree and medals.
After the victorious end of the Great Patriotic War, under the leadership of Stalin, a quick recovery of the national economy takes place, an annual decline in prices begins, the ruble is transferred to a gold basis. The USSR is becoming a world industrial and nuclear superpower.
At the XIX Congress of the party (October, 1952), the last congress, at which spoke Stalin, the results of the restoration and development of the national economy of the USSR at the end of the Great Patriotic War were summed up. On the eve of the congress, a brilliant work by I.V. Stalin "Economic problems of socialism in the USSR." This work of Stalin is deeply scientific. In his work, Stalin substantiated a number of new provisions of the teachings of Marxism-Leninism on socialism and communism, taking into account the experience of building socialism in the USSR, formulated the basic law of socialism and the preconditions for a gradual transition from socialism to communism. The congress adopted a resolution on "reworking the existing party program", putting IV. Stalin "Economic problems of socialism in the USSR" (1952). This meant consolidating the party’s course towards a gradual transition to communism.
“The grandiose accomplishments of the Stalin era became a reality because the great revolution put forward a great personality as the leader of the people. It combines such features as the depth of intelligence, strength of character, steel will and unwavering determination to achieve the national good and happiness of every person, the ability to look forward and the conviction of the rightness of the cause that he served. In this determination is the whole “secret” of Stalin’s extraordinary charm, in it is the clue to the enormous power of his influence on the minds and hearts, which inspired millions of people to do great things. It concluded a powerful factor of social change, revealed to the world in its diverse activities.
Stalin as a person was fully consistent with the historical tasks that confronted the country. According to many, if another person had appeared in his place, not fully possessing these personal qualities, we would not only not have created a great power, but would have been unable to maintain our statehood ”(V.A. Tuev. Our Stalin, Irkutsk, 2018). This happened after the death of Stalin and in the further history of the USSR.
Stalin was a great statesman, and a statesman of a socialist state.
March 5, 1953, Stalin died.
Stalin was primarily a proletarian revolutionary. “Stalin is a sample of the Bolshevik in the full sense and meaning of the word. It is no accident, therefore, that enemies direct their arrows primarily at Stalin, who embodies the invincibility and greatness of the Bolshevik Party ”(S.M. Kirov).
“Not everyone is given to be a Stalinist. The honorary title of Leninist-Stalinist must be earned by the Bolshevik struggle and steadfastness, selfless devotion to the cause of the working class.
But the Bolsheviks know that victory never comes by itself, that it must be prepared and won. Learn from Stalin creative Marxism, learn from Stalin to build a Bolshevik party, learn from Stalin to strengthen ties with the masses under all conditions, learn from Stalin the struggle against opportunism, learn from Stalin revolutionary daring and revolutionary realism, learn from Stalin to be fearless in battle and merciless to to learn from the class enemy, to learn from Stalin with an unbending will to overcome all sorts of difficulties and defeat the enemy, to learn from Stalin to be faithful to the end of the cause of proletarian internationalism - this is the most important condition for preparing and the gains of the working class victory "(Georgi Dimitrov).
Stalin deeply understood the significance of the party’s close connection with the working class as its class base. Already at the dawn of his revolutionary activity, Stalin was carrying out tremendous work in leading the first revolutionary battles of the workers of the Caucasus: the creation of Bolshevik organizations in Tiflis, Baku, and Batumi; organization of the first mass political strike and open demonstration in Tiflis (1900 - 1901), the famous Batumi political demonstration (1902), the largest political strike in Baku (1904), which served as a signal for the January-February speeches (1905) throughout Of Russia. “The connection with the masses, the strengthening of this connection, the readiness to listen to the voice of the masses — that is the strength and invincibility of the Bolshevik leadership” (I.V. Stalin).
Today the most important and essential in Marxism-Leninism is completely forgotten - the doctrine of the world-historical mission of the proletariat. “Our party organizations will hang in the void if they fail to take deep roots among the workers, peasants, labor intelligentsia, military, youth.” ... The Bolshevik should be everywhere where the working masses are ”(N.A. Andreeva. // Workers and Peasants Hammer and Sickle and Hammer, 1995, No. 2).
Stalin is a talented theorist of Marxism-Leninism, about which today his role as a theorist is unlawfully silent or diminished. His works such as “Marxism and the National Question”, “On the Foundations of Leninism”, “On the Issues of Leninism”, “On the Draft Constitution of the USSR”, “On Dialectical and Historical Materialism”, “On the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union”, “Marxism and questions of linguistics ”,“ Economic problems of socialism in the USSR ”and many others represent a huge contribution to the treasury of Marxism-Leninism, the study of which opens up broad prospects forthe hasty revolutionary struggle of the oppressed masses for their liberation from the yoke of imperialism.
Stalin belongs to more than one country - the USSR, he is a world-wide figure, an outstanding leader of the international communist and workers' movement, the world camp of the people's democratic and socialist states, formed after the defeat of the Soviet Union, headed by I.V. Stalin's fascist Germany and militaristic Japan. The system of people's democratic and socialist states was the main brainchild of the working class, its bastion in the struggle against world capital.
From the very beginning of the formation of the Comintern, Stalin paid close attention to the formation of communist parties in capitalist countries, their connection with the working class as the advanced class of society, the grave digger of capitalism, the purification of parties from right and "left" (Trotskyism) opportunism, the selection of leading cadres, especially Bolshevization of the Communist Parties. In an interview with a member of the KKE Herzog (February 1925, Soch., Vol. 7, p. 34-41) I.V. Based on the experience of the struggle of the Bolshevik party led by Lenin, Stalin formulated twelve conditions for the Bolshevization of the Communist Parties. Today, these conditions are more relevant for the international communist movement than ever. In 1947, under the leadership of Stalin, the Cominformburo was formed to consolidate the international communist movement on the basis of Bolshevism, the struggle against opportunism and counter-revolution in the newly formed countries of socialism.
What does it mean to be a Bolshevik? According to Stalin, this is: the deepest devotion to the cause of the working class, the fidelity of the party, tested in battles against the class enemy; closest connection with the masses, live by the interests of the masses, feel the pulse of the life of the masses, their moods and needs; the ability to navigate independently in an environment and not be afraid of responsibility for decisions; discipline and Bolshevik hardening both in the struggle against the class enemy and in intransigence to all deviations from the line of Bolshevism.
Stalin is the recognized leader of the international proletariat. Under his leadership, mass communist parties were formed in the capitalist countries, which had a serious influence in the political life of their country.
Stalin emphasized that not quantity, but above all, quality decides. Stalin taught, the head of the Comintern, George Dimitrov, wrote: “After all, the experience of the labor movement has shown that the Communists, even with their relative small numbers, are the engine of the combat activity of the proletariat” (G. Dimitrov. Stalin and the international proletariat).
The anti-Stalinist campaign (“secret report” by Trotskyist Khrushchev at the XX Congress of the CPSU, 1956) led to the undermining of the authority of world socialism, to serious difficulties in the workers' and communist movements, to a confrontation with the Communist Party of China, and to the intensification of opponents of socialism in Eastern Europe. The international communist movement today is greatly struck by opportunism and revisionism of various stripes.
“Anti-Stalinism is the most dangerous form of opportunism in the modern communist movement, playing the role of a Trojan horse in it” (N.A. Andreeva. Unapproved Principles. L., 1992, p. 278). Without overcoming anti-Stalinism, the international communist movement cannot be reborn as a force leading the international proletariat in the struggle for socialism and peace.
“... Opportunists and revisionists who initially dealt with the erosion of Marxism, who advocate anti-Stalinism, are more dangerous, because they dress up in the toga of the Communists and act under the guise of fighters for socialism” (N. Andreeva. For Bolshevism in the communist movement. L., 2002 , p. 3).
Events in the GDR (1953), Poland (1956), Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), European communism in Europe, the deep crisis of the communist movement. All these are the consequences of Khrushchev instilled in all countries with the support of the opportunists and the global capital of anti-Stalinism.
It was anti-Stalinism that strangled in the arms and destroyed a number of influential and authoritative communist parties of Western Europe. The Western intelligence agencies during the destruction of the USSR took into account the previous experience of the counter-revolutions in Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia.
There is only one conclusion: we, the Bolsheviks, must resolutely expose the dirty lies about Stalin, defend our Soviet history, help people rise from their knees, recreate the true bright image of the Leader of the world proletariat, instill interest in his work for every worker, communist, patriot, especially the younger generation fighters for socialism. If we cannot expose the dirty lie about I.V. Stalin, we will not be able to defeat our ideological opponents, for the struggle for the truth about Stalin is the main thing that makes up the essence of communist ideology today.
After the death of Stalin, the leadership of the party and state did not find a leader of the scale of Stalin who would ensure the continuity of Stalin's policy, “a leader capable of scientifically predicting the development of the situation, developing the theory of socialist construction. As they say, a great time caught little politicians ”(N. Andreeva. For Bolshevism in
the ommunistic movement, L., 2002, p. 118).
“... A Stalinist state without successors worthy of Stalin is doomed” (Charles de Gaulle). This happened subsequently with the USSR.
Pygmies from social science and the "democrats" after the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU launched a frenzied campaign of slander against Stalin and his cause (Khrushchev's "secret" report on the "personality cult"), misinforming workers. The erosion of the monolithic unity of Soviet society went in all directions - ideologically, politically, economically, morally and culturally. The Twentieth Congress of the CPSU launched the collapse of the USSR and the socialist system of the Warsaw Treaty bloc.
For almost seven decades, liberals have slandered Stalin. Therefore, today some adherents of Stalin talk about the need for his rehabilitation. “In our opinion, neither Stalin nor his era needs anyone to be rehabilitated. Stalin is beyond jurisdiction and great in its significance, as well as the Stalin era - the time of great achievements and a sharp breakthrough along the upward development of human civilization ”(N.A. Andreeva. The future is with socialism. L., 2018, p. 31).
The neo-Trotskyite Khrushchev group that came to power, and then the Kosygin reform, discarded the scientific principles of Stalin's work “The Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR” and deviated from the basic economic law of socialism (“ensuring maximum satisfaction of the constantly growing material and cultural needs of the whole society through continuous growth and improvement of socialist production based on high technology ”(IV Stalin), began to deform the socialist economy by introducing into it with the functioning of capitalism’s economy and the expansion of the scope of commodity production (the pursuit of profit growth in money terms as the main indicator of the efficiency of the enterprise, which could easily be achieved by various manipulations with the “winding up” of the cost of output), that is, they began to pursue an economic policy directly the opposite of that which was scientifically stated by Stalin and adopted at the XIX Party Congress, which naturally led to a sharp decrease in the pace of development of the socialist economy mics and the restoration of capitalism by the actions of the formed anti-socialist bloc as a part of the shadow bourgeoisie, foreign capital and the Communist Party of the CPSU as the driving force of the bourgeois counter-revolution.
Stalin rightly and far-sighted emphasized that as socialism advances forward, the class struggle in the country will become more and more aggravated. The mocking defamation of this position opened the gates of the creeping counter-revolution, became the prologue to the collapse of the cause of building communism in the USSR.
But the foundation of socialism laid down in the Stalin era was so powerful that despite serious deformations in the economy and a deviation from Bolshevism in politics, in 1985, in the USSR, in relation to the pre-war 1940, the national product produced increased by 16.8 times, labor productivity - 12.6 times, real income per capita - 6.5 times. In 1988, the USSR ranked first in the world and in Europe in terms of most of the most important types of industrial and agricultural products.
Today, there are symptoms of impending social upheaval. The coming century is predetermined by history as the century of socialist revolutions. This requires a quick demarcation with opportunism in the communist movement. This requires speeding up the Bolshevik process of the communist movement. Today, Russia, as on the threshold of the 20th century, has again become one of the weakest links in the chain of states of the capitalist world. It is Russia that can lead the era of socialist revolutions of the 21st century.
Recall that “Bolshevization is the transition of communist parties to the position of Leninism, it is a course towards a revolutionary change in the socio-political system, it is construction based on democratic centralism, criticism and self-criticism, strict party conscious discipline, it is a decisive demarcation with opportunism, revisionism, petty-bourgeois revolutionism. , its liberation from tailing, dependency, conciliationism and capitulation. The process of Bolshevization of the movement is objectively subjective. It is objective, independent of anyone’s desires, because it is based on regular changes in the balance of class forces, on the inevitability of the separation of the revolutionary proletarian wing of the communist movement from the opportunist, compromising wing of the petty-bourgeois revolutionism ”(N. Andreeva. For Bolshevism in the communist movement . L., 2002, p. 72-73).
“... It is becoming clearer to the masses of the proletarians of all countries that Bolshevism has shown the right path to salvation from the horrors of war and imperialism, that Bolshevism is suitable as a model of tactics for everyone” (V.I. Lenin. Poln. Sobr. Soch., Vol. 37, p. 305).
The authority of Stalin today is a record in our country. According to the latest opinion polls, its role is positively evaluated by two-thirds of the population. Politically-minded youth increasingly turns their eyes to the Great Stalinoh era. The complete works of Stalin are published, monuments to Generalissimo Stalin are erected in cities and villages and more and more such initiatives appear.
After the ceremonial installation in the city of Novosibirsk, on the initiative of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, a monument to Generalissimo I.V. With the construction of a memorial complex and a park for the 74th anniversary of the Great Victory, with the permission of local authorities, the liberals howled like a wolf. After all, no matter how much they try to denigrate Stalin and our heroic Soviet history, for many decades now, the authority of Stalin and the Soviet era has been growing inexorably. Recently (July 2019), Russian liberals “composed” a “Statement of the Permanent Commission (it includes anti-advisers and Zionists who work out their additional content with American grants) on the historical memory of the Presidential Council on the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights” called "On the monuments to I.V. Stalin."
The liberals are "indignant" that "there are reports of the creation of monuments to V. Stalin in Russian settlements" and "require" that "civil servants of all levels should clearly know about the inadmissibility of using state or municipal lands and buildings for this."
Mao Zedong was right: “You abandoned a sword like Stalin, throwing this sword. As a result, the enemies caught him to kill you. "
Liberals frighten the population with the revival of "Stalinism", "repressions" ... But "it was" Stalinism "that in the shortest and most unprecedented period in the history of peoples on the advanced economic base of Lenin’s electrification brought the country to world leaders, defeated Nazi fascism, created the country's nuclear missile shield , put atomic energy into peaceful service and paved the way for mankind into space, becoming the superpower of the world ”(Andreeva N.A. The Future of Socialism. L., 2018, p. 233). Hitler was afraid of living Stalin. The present rulers and their “democratic” corrupt henchmen are afraid of Stalin even dead ...
The historical experience of the USSR, led by Stalin, showed that only socialism can save the world from military, economic, political, environmental, demographic and other global crises generated by capitalism due to its inherent antagonistic contradictions. Today, thanks to the expansionist plans of the United States, which Stalin harshly restrained, providing economic, diplomatic and military support to the fraternal countries of socialism and countries fighting against colonial oppression, the world is irresistibly moving toward an all-annihilating third world war, local foci of which are organized in all regions of the world. At the personal initiative of Stalin, atomic weapons were created and subsequently nuclear-missile parity between the USSR and the USA was achieved, which ensured half a century of peaceful life and due to which it is still possible to curb the indefatigable appetites of the United States.
The formation of a united world anti-fascist front, to stop and destroy the extravagant plans of the United States for world domination - today the main task of all truly democratic and communist forces, the international working class.
So who was Stalin? “He was a person named Stalin, and when we pronounce this name, all sorts of definitions and clarifications are already superfluous.
There is no need even to mention one's own (not family) name, for Stalin - a person of that cosmic scale that does not require any additional definitions, was and will be the only one for all time. He was the greatest spiritual leader who inspired our people to exploits - labor and combat - which led us to great achievements in labor and victories in battle.
He was the clearest symbol of these accomplishments and victories ”(V.A. Tuev. Our Stalin. Irkutsk, 2018).
Stalin prophetically said: “... Many of the affairs of our party and people will be perverted and spat upon, above all abroad, and in our country too ... And yet - no matter how events unfold, but 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. ”
And so it is today. This time - the time of the revival of our beautiful Motherland - the USSR - is already knocking on the door.
The bourgeois political technologists themselves with horror predict that "the time of neo-Bolshevism is coming."
Stalin's enormous services to the working people, to the peoples of the former Soviet Union, and especially to the Russian people, his socio-political activities should become the property of the widest masses, because it serves as an example of a deeply ideological life of a person.
Great Stalin - Glory!
