History of denunciations in the Stalin era and myths about the intelligentsia

44
More than 60 years have passed since the date of Stalin's death, but still professional historians, amateur historians, and people who consider themselves historians continue to argue heatedly about what this era has more - pluses or minuses.





On the Day TV channel, material was released in which the issue of denunciations was one of the cornerstones. In the Stalin era, they are known to be enough. So what is the issue under consideration? Who wrote these denunciations, and what was the purpose of this?

A lot of pages are devoted to this topic in the writings of historians. In particular, groups of scammers stand out. At the same time, it is assumed that one of the most numerous groups was employees (including military personnel), creative intelligentsia. "Rolled" denunciations against each other, as is believed, in order to ensure their own career advancement. However, career advancement might not have taken place for the reason that behind the scammer there was already another interested person.

In the issue, Andrei Fursov and Nikolai Sapelkin in detail analyze myths related to history about informing, about the Soviet intelligentsia. The situation of representatives of the Soviet intelligentsia, which, as broadcast in the initial period of the formation of the Country of Soviets, "ceased to exist as a class," is also considered.

      in the west, everyone denounces each other, the police are called in any case, they put signs with the words "they report to the police here" and after that they yell about the fact that in the USSR everyone was knocking on each other, truly a civilization of lies and fools

        considering themselves historians, they continue to argue heatedly about what this era has more - pluses or minuses.

        Does anyone argue about the era? They argue, but not even argue, but give facts that people achieved in the era of Stalin. As one can argue about the pros and cons, it is clear that the hardest time was for the country and hardly anyone would want to live at that time. Another question is what our grandfathers and great-grandfathers managed to achieve in such difficult years.
        Stalin turned the backward agrarian country into a superpower, while simultaneously winning the bloodiest war in the history of mankind .. He managed to rebuild the entire USSR.
        It makes no sense even to compare with the current "effective managers" .. for their fate under Stalin would have been definite and just.
        And denunciations, they have always been and will be .. such is the essence of man ..

            After the fall of the monarchy, 14% of the population was educated in Russia, the average life expectancy was 37 years, everyday syphilis is a ubiquitous phenomenon .. in general, there were many "delights" and the fact that they are not now, the merit of Stalin and the socialists .. it is clear that to live in those days I would not want to .. And now they want to return us to those funny times .. Have you heard, probably, one of your patrons, suggests that after three classes in general education should be paid?

              Cool. In fact, a scammer is a common phenomenon all over the world. For example, in the United States for some time now, "whistle blowing" has become mandatory for all citizens and is enshrined in the "Patriotic Pact" ..... In Germany, you can earn money on "whistle-blowing" - there is a "scammer" about a hidden offense and willing to witness an offense, receives a premium and a percentage of the amount of the claim recovered from the offender .... And in Russia .... and in Russia, they simply get pleasure from denunciations, like "cool that" from a neighbor, not from me, a cow in the barn burned down ".... there, even here on the site, under each post there is a" magic knock button "-" Complaint "(Report to the Moderator) ..... wink

                Denunciation is when the informer tries to remain anonymous and possibly slander. (As it seems to me) You can pay for information about an offense, as in the West, or build a society where reporting violations will be the mental impulse of any citizen. But, in any case, for this, first you need to write such laws that will ensure safety and citizens will want to comply with them. And the authorities must ensure the prosperity of all (or the overwhelming majority) of citizens and the inevitability of punishment for criminals. In our reality, laws are often written not in the interests of the people, therefore, it is easier for real offenders and criminals to come to an agreement with the authorities than the same authorities, with their own people. So it turns out that you can convey to the same "survivor" (sucker), like yourself! The rest, one way or another, buy / pay for the "roof" or maintain it. Who's as lucky ...

                Do you want to say that all unemployed in Russia are afraid of work? Or maybe it simply doesn’t exist, or doesn’t they want to destroy health for a penny? The habit of thinking only about yourself is selfishness and arrogance .. and breeds, indulges these qualities, just capitalism. Thus, you say that everyone is for himself, but for some reason, when there is a need for the support of the masses, you immediately remember the high.

                The country and the people need Stalin so that the country would cease to be a "gas station", that the people would have the opportunity to be proud of the country and that there would be social justice. The country needs a socially oriented leader, a patriot of Russia.

                          Comrade Mordvin 3, I hope you are still alive ?!
                          Please, do not put a bullet in your forehead - this is, firstly, unconstructive and, secondly, 100% harmful to your health! In no case do not succumb to decadent moods and the illusion of "the easiest way out"!
                          You, your loved ones (and the blind Mom, first of all!) Need you and all of us, your compatriots!
                          Live and fight for yourself and for your loved ones, in spite of all the blows of Fate, the intrigues of enemies and the concerns of the "native capitalist power"!
                          Himself more than once found himself in such a position and decadent hopelessness that "even a bullet in the forehead", but at the very last moment, anger at himself appeared to the one who lost his faith and "raised with Hurray!" learned from Soviet childhood "Russians don't give up!" and "You're lying, you won't take it!" wink
                          Of course, it is better when, at such a decisive moment in life and death, next to a person who is drooping (in strength and in his thoughts) turns out to be another caring person who does not let him fall into "problem-free" oblivion! But it is possible to get out of this state on your own, if you are able to "turn on" your Consciousness at full power!
                          Hold on, Comrade Mordvin, don't give up! Ancient Persian wisdom says so to all of us:
                          "Each dark night ends with light, and in the very hopelessness there are two hundred hopes!" Believe me, it really is !!!

      The task of society is not to turn history inside out, but to draw the necessary conclusions for itself. You can focus on repression, or you can close your eyes as if they were not there. I agree that there is an ideological struggle against the West. But we must be clean before the future generation. Otherwise, it will relate to us as we relate to the past. History is a stubborn thing. And it does not forgive those who bend it for themselves.

      No, they are not afraid. Well, you yourself write, they do not want to ruin health for a penny. Some may not even want "for a penny". And some are happy with this situation. It is quite possible for a person aged 30-40 to get a job. The same construction worker. Not prestigious? Yes. Well, when there is a choice - who prevents you from taking care of yourself. No uncle will come and tell you to come to him and he is ready to pay you a pretty decent salary. This will not happen.
      Yes, you can't get a high-paying job immediately after being "unemployed". But what prevents you from getting a job, getting a salary, and not an allowance, and, if necessary, looking for the future?

      Quote: Svarog
      The habit of thinking only about yourself is selfishness and arrogance .. and breeds, indulges these qualities, just capitalism.

      And what, someone will think for me? Think about my family's income? About the future of my grandchildren? I worked for 2 decades in a budget organization. In an area like culture. Salaries there were and are scanty. I don’t know how much they get now, but 5-6 years ago a person in the position of a leading specialist received with all the allowances and for an expanded amount of work 9, a maximum of 10 thousand.
      And when I was "retired" I started looking for a job. Found by specialty. I tried to "drag" some of my colleagues, so they don't need it. It is necessary that no one "touched" them and they would sit quietly from 9 to 18. You can do nothing or almost nothing. Or do it with little effort. Anyway, they know that they will receive 5 and 20 pennies. They don’t want to change jobs to the one where you have to spin around and not sit all day.
      Why did the fact that I made this decision for myself aimed at the well-being of the family suddenly become a sign of selfishness and arrogance ???? So you can say to the "public" that you think about the well-being of millions, but in reality - you think first of all about yourself and your loved ones.

About 20 hours a day (I mostly try to work at night). Tomorrow I'm going to "give up". What is there to do? True, the pay is almost my monthly wage. You can then rest for three or four days.

Moreover, this was never broadcast during the period of the formation of the Land of the Soviets, because in journalism of that time and in the government there were literate Marxists who understood that the intelligentsia is a form of activity and the performers of this activity are recruited from different classes. Hence the term "interclass layer".
