Kedmi explains the growing popularity of Stalin in Russia
39
Over the past 25 years in the public consciousness of Russian citizens there have been significant changes in the attitude to the "leader of nations" Joseph Stalin. In particular, today there is a growing popularity of Stalin’s personality, including among representatives of the Russian youth.
Many politicians, historians and public figures are trying to explain this phenomenon. However, they express completely different points of view. Someone thinks that in Stalin people see a “cleaner”, someone thinks that attention to Stalin is artificially heated by the media.
An interesting explanation for the rapidly growing popularity of Stalin was given on the talk show “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” by the well-known Israeli expert Jacob Kedmi. He is convinced that those who are trying to denigrate and demonize the Soviet leader are the enemies of Russia and her stories.
In his opinion, those representatives of Russian society, for whom Stalin is the personification of state justice and who express their positive attitude towards him, are trying to protect themselves and all of Russia from enemies and enemies who use the image of Stalin for anti-Russian propaganda in the international community.
Far from all the guests of the program studio, which goes to the Russia 1 channel, agreed with Kedmi.
