Stalin's secrets - will they ever be revealed?

146

Hardly among historical personalities who have left a significant mark on the fate of our Fatherland, there is a figure about whom as much has been written as about Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. A whole library - from more or less serious scientific research to a heap of fiction. With all this, it is he who is a statesman and leader, regarding whom to this day there is, perhaps, the greatest number of questions, riddles and secrets.

Most likely, the roots of this paradox lie in the fact that in our country (and in the world as a whole) there are several not just different, but, rather, mutually exclusive views on Stalin, his life and work. Alas, within the framework of each of them, his actions, decisions, words and even thoughts are given a completely unambiguous interpretation, under which its adherents manage to "fit" everything and everyone. Here is one of them: "Stalin is a bloody tyrant, paranoidly obsessed with power!" Consequently, everything that he undertook both while occupying the highest posts in the Soviet Union and on his way to them was dictated only by the desire to exercise his will over millions of people and the desire to stay “at the top”. The point of view is not just simplistic, but squalid - but how many people hold it!

However, for someone, Joseph Vissarionovich is a great Leader, a kind of embodiment of omniscience and omnipotence, an infallible and inaccessible to human understanding giant. The trouble with this view of Stalin (as well as the previous one) is that, at the same time, he is perceived not as a living person with his own beliefs and delusions, virtues and weaknesses, sympathies and antipathies, but as a kind of abstract superhuman Power. It's just that some consider this power black and evil, while others - good and radiant.

I am convinced that it is precisely such extremely primitized approaches that have generated a situation as a result of which much more lies and frank inventions are said and written about Stalin than truth. It would seem that his life passed surrounded by many associates, subordinates, members of the "inner circle". Many of them were very intelligent people who left behind memoirs and other literary works. And what? All the same thick fog in which only the general outlines of the titanic figure are dimly seen.

As soon as you start to peer more closely, everything becomes unsteady and deceiving, details are lost and, more often than not, turn out to be not at all what they originally saw. I remember very well how my path to the book "Comrade Stalin is a Person without a Cult" began. From the desire to see a person in this person, to try to comprehend and comprehend his true motives, motives, aspirations. And, first of all, to figure out what is the share of truth in the "well-known" and "absolutely reliable" statements about him.

Well, and, of course, try to get closer to solving at least the main mysteries associated with Stalin and his time. Why did the catastrophe happen on June 22, 1941, is there a personal fault of the Supreme Commander, and what could it be? In the pre-war "purges" of the Red Army, or in the fact that they were not brought to an end? What was behind the "struggle against the enemies of the people" that unfolded in the USSR - "Stalin's desire to destroy political opponents", as some are trying to assert, or a sober, pragmatic calculation aimed at the benefit of a huge country and, moreover, justified by very specific reasons?

Why did Stalin trust the allies so much in World War II, and what did he feel when his trust was betrayed by them in the most insidious way? What did he intend to do in the mid to late 50s of the last century? To deliver a crushing military blow to the West, or simply to force it to reckon with the Soviet Union as an equal, forever abandoning the plans to conquer our country? What could our world have become if the Stalinist plans of that period had been fully realized?

Generally speaking, the last years of Iosif Vissarionovich's life are one continuous mystery, an equation with many unknowns, delving deeper into which, you come across more and more Xs. How could he have missed a conspiracy being prepared against him? Why was his murder possible - and was it a murder? What happened in these years, months and days between Stalin, his closest associates, his own son Vasily? What were they preparing the country and the whole world for? But this is far from a complete list of mysteries that have remained unsolved to this day.

I will not even try to assert that the book, which has developed as a result of reflections on these topics, the search for answers to the above and many other questions, contains some kind of absolute truth, some discoveries that “finally shed light” on something. Like any author who respects my readers and their right to personal opinion, I simply shared with them my own conclusions and conclusions, leaving the right for anyone who picks up another book about Stalin to think, doubt and independently continue to further search for answers. I just tried to substantiate each of my own assumptions with arguments, facts, figures, quotes and excerpts from real documents.

"Comrade Stalin is a person without a cult" in no way is it the key to unraveling the secrets of the person about whom it was written and his time. This is just an attempt to take one more step towards their comprehension.

          For me, the historical role of Stalin lies in one well-known phrase-
          "Stalin accepted Russia with a plow, and left with an atomic bomb"

            A Russian person cannot live without faith.
            Jesus is the head of our church.
            He said don't make yourself an idol ...

            The Tsar was God's protege on the Russian land.
            So the Russian people thought.

            Therefore, the kings were loved and deified.

            The Russian people treated Stalin like a tsar, like an autocrat. Who he was in fact.

            And those who pour dirt on our rulers are nits.

            Our autocrat Stalin did a lot for the revival of Russia.

            There were also repressions.

            And where are they not?

            And the first Russian satellite.
            And the apartments are free, the first Russians.

            And the Russians broke the Germans with the Europeans.

            So much for Stalin.

                Politically correct so. As if "accidentally", they forgot to remember their political "son of a bum", who bestowed the first with awards and boarding houses, and the second immortalized in epic "centers". As the saying goes, "moth in the closet" was not noticed. Or they did it. The "Judas affair", meanwhile, is only gaining momentum.

                This is your personal tragedy.
                And about Stalin and other great people in the Bible more than two thousand years ago it was written:
                -Do not rely on princes, on the sons of mankind, there is no salvation in them (Do not rely on princes [rulers], on the sons of men in whom there is no salvation).
                -Is his spirit come forth, and he will return to his land: on that day all his thoughts will perish (Psalm 145: 3,4).
                NOBODY has yet refuted these words, they are strictly fulfilled, and everything that is written in the Bible is TRUE.

            If you are talking about Putin, then yes, earlier he spoke about the severity of Stalinist repressions and their consequences for Russia, although he noted his successes in the industrialization of the country, but at the same time, Putin recently said that "excessive demonization of Stalin" is nothing more than one of the ways to attack Russia.

              recently also talked about the importance of remembering history and the inadmissibility of rewriting. Although it was not directly about Stalin, it was about Stalin's time.
              When will it be clear that it is impossible to take advantage of the achievements of the USSR and blame the USSR and Stalin at the same time.

                  There is a contradiction in these actions, which they stubbornly refuse to notice at the top, as well as many others who feel sorry for the lost Russia. I keep hoping that the epiphany should come. But no! With prihvatizatory it is clear - they have everything prepared over the hill, if anything - they go there instantly. But with this ambiguity, there is no development for Russia.

        The lot of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin fell not just an era of change, but a change in the socio-economic doctrine to one that had no prerequisites for social and production relations - a change unprecedented in history. For example, feudal relations arose in the depths of the slave-owning formation, and there were economic prerequisites for the change of the feudal side to the bourgeois in the form of a multitude of industries, their owners, collectives of workers, as well as banking capital gaining strength. The bourgeois revolution was natural. But the change of the feudal-bourgeois system, which has not yet managed to reach the peak of developed capitalism, which is purely conditionally capable of leading to the cultivation of elements of the socialist system in its depths (and this is impossible), to a sharply socialist system with a swing towards communism - history has never known such thought it was possible. Despite the works of utopians, the books of the classics of Marxism, the sentiments of the intelligentsia, the discontent of the workers and peasants, propaganda, etc. - all these are not economic prerequisites, grown in the depths of the old system. There were simply no economic prerequisites for socialism, and even more so for communism.
        As a result, Stalin had to deal with two layers of people. The first layer consisted of those who sincerely shared the ideas of communism, admitting socialism as a transitional form to it. I think there were not so many convinced people, real communists. The second layer was mentally far from the communist idea. This stratum of people was petty-bourgeois and, unlike the first, it was numerous and therefore offered serious resistance to the authorities even after the end of the Civil War. Stalin's tasks included the need to numerically increase the first, ideological layer and do everything to neutralize the resistance of the second - when secret, when obvious resistance of varying degrees of intensity, intensity and consequences for the state, as well as to convince those who doubt and hesitate in the justice of even a socialist idea. Expand the first layer by narrowing the second. With these two incredibly difficult and interrelated tasks, I.V. Stalin coped brilliantly. This was confirmed by the results of the Great Patriotic War.

          But 20 years after the revolution, Trotsky wrote. that the bureaucracy will become an instrument of imperialism sooner or later, ... and Stalin knew about it. That is why there were purges and repressions.
          However, after the war, the nomenklatura and bureaucrats began to gain strength.

            Dmitry, I lived in Abkhazia. There, the Gorbachev era took on an awesome form: the party nomenclature openly merged with bandits, corrupt officials and openly fascist elements. Openly. Including local police and KGB. You, residents of Central Russia, did not see this, everything was veiled here. Therefore, Russia was deceived. Belovezhskaya Pushcha was a shock for the RSFSR, and the residents of the outskirts already knew that something like this would happen. There was no shock. And now I, living now in Central Russia, think: what am I not seeing? It is bad with the choice of the point of view.

            The bourgeoisie forced the tsar to abdicate. This is bad, but legal. Any king can renounce.

            And then it was created Temporary Government and the process of forming the Parliament began. A normal representative body with the participation of major populations.

            But the Bolsheviks rudely interrupted this process by carrying out the October Revolution.
            It is a illegal an action like the dissolution of the Reichstag or the Ukrainian Maidan.

            As a result of the actions of the Bolsheviks, Russia received the Civil War instead of the Parliamentary Republic.

      Joseph Vissarionovich - the great Leader


      Destroyed the color of the high command of the Red Army and the Navy - 65% - more than 400 people! From brigades to marshals
      As a result, in WWII, former brigades / division commanders of the Red Army commanded amiyas! With the well-known results of 1941-1942.

      People's Commissar of the Navy Kuznetsov (former commander of the cruiser),
      on purges in the army and navy:
      In November 1937, the commander of the Pacific Fleet G.P. Kireev was summoned to Moscow. But before Kireev, MV Viktorov and G.S. Okunev also left and ... did not return. The presentiment did not deceive Kireev. Rumors soon reached me that he had been arrested.

      Grigory Mikhailovich did not even say his favorite "Salud, amigo", only silently handed me a telegram from Moscow. It reported on the arrest of M.N. Tukhachevsky, I.P. Uborevich, I.E. Yakir and other major military leaders. These were the people at the helm of the Armed Forces. What could have prompted them to commit the monstrous crimes of which they were accused?

      When I returned to Moscow from Spain, I learned about new arrests. On the first day, on the way to the People's Commissariat, I met K.A. Meretskov on Gogolevsky Boulevard. We met him back in Spain. - Where are you in a hurry? - he stopped me. - Yes, you need to report to your superiors. - If Orlov, you can take your time, he was arrested yesterday.


      And the comrades told all about the new arrests. N. Moralev, A. Zeling, A. Rublevsky were arrested on the Black Sea ... I considered them honest Soviet commanders who gave all their strength to the fleet. I still had no doubts about them. How so?

      “If it's a mistake, they'll figure it out,” a friend reassured me, with whom I carefully shared my bewilderment.

      And then I accepted this convenient formula, not yet deeply thinking about what was happening. But now, in Vladivostok, when people, subordinates to me, for whom I was responsible, were arrested, I could no longer reassure myself that they would sort it out somewhere.

      in February 1938, a new wave of arrests swept through. Again, I found out about them retroactively. Once the commandant of coastal defense A.B. Eliseev phoned and asked if I knew what had happened to the commander of the artillery battalion on Russky Island. I didn't know anything.

      - Three days does not come to the service, - said Eliseev. - Apparently arrested.

      The assumption was confirmed. Then I sent a telegram to the Central Committee of the party. I wrote that I consider it wrong to practice local authorities, which arrest commanders without the knowledge of the commander, without even informing him of what happened. I received no answer.
      1. -4
        3 September 2020 14: 44
        Here is how the fate of those arrested was decided:
        At the appointed hour, P.A. Smirnov, a member of the Military Council Y.V. Volkov, the head of the regional NKVD Dimentman and his deputy for the fleet Ivanov, gathered in my office. Diementman looked askance at me and seemed to stop noticing. In conversation, he pointedly addressed only to the People's Commissar.

        For the first time I saw how the fate of people was decided then. Dimentman took out a sheet of paper from the folder, read the surname, name and patronymic of the commander, named his position. Then it was reported how many testimonies there were against this person. Nobody asked any questions. Neither a business profile, nor the opinion of the commander about the named person was interested.
        If Dimentman said that there are four testimonies, Smirnov, without hesitation for a long time, wrote on the sheet: "I authorize." This meant: a person can be arrested. At t6, I still had no reason to doubt that the materials of the NKVD were serious enough. The names that were called were familiar to me, but I had not yet had time to get to know these people closely. I was surprised, worried only by the ease with which the sanction was given.

        Suddenly I heard: "Kuznetsov Konstantin Matveyevich." It was my namesake and an old acquaintance from the Black Sea. And then I first thought about the error.

        When Smirnov took the pen to apply the fatal visa, I turned to him:
        - Allow me to report, Comrade People's Commissar! Everyone looked at me in surprise, as if I were doing some strange, unlawful act.
        - I have known the captain of the first rank Kuznetsov for many years and I cannot imagine that he would be an enemy of the people.
        I wanted to tell you more about this man, about his service, but Smirnov interrupted me:
        “If the commander is in doubt, check it again,” he said, returning the sheet to Dimentman.
        He threw a quick, unkind glance at me and read the next name.
        ...
        Another day passed. Smirnov visited ships in Vladivostok, and in the evening they gathered again in my office.
        “There are two more testimonies against Kuznetsov,” Dimentman announced, barely crossing the threshold. He looked at me triumphantly and handed the papers to Smirnov, who immediately imposed a resolution, instructively remarking:
        - The enemy is cleverly disguised. It is not easy to recognize him. And we have no right to act.
        It sounded like a reprimand. Frankly, he confused me. I thought I was wrong. After all, Kuznetsov's wine has been proven by authoritative bodies!
        KM Kuznetsov was arrested, as were all the others. There were many of them. It is not for nothing that a short examination of these "indictment" sheets required three evenings. I walked under the heavy impression of arrests. Were tormented by the thought of how the people who served nearby could become sworn enemies and why we did not notice their rebirth? It still did not occur to the state security agencies to act incorrectly. Moreover, I did not admit the thought of any unusual ways of obtaining evidence.

          3 September 2020 14: 46
          On the day of P.A. Smirnov's departure, we gathered to listen to his remarks. As soon as we sat down at the table, they again reported that Dimentman had arrived.
          “Here is the testimony of Kuznetsov,” he announced, addressing Smirnov.
          Smirnov scanned the piece of paper and handed it to me. There was only one phrase, written in the hand of my namesake: "Not considering it necessary to resist, I confess that I am an enemy of the people." - Do you recognize the handwriting? - asked Smirnov. - I will.
          “You are not yet politically mature enough,” the People's Commissar said angrily.
          I was silent. Diementman did not hide his pleasure ...
          I must also say about Konstantin Matveyevich Kuznetsov. In the spring of 1939, I came to Vladivostok from Moscow together with A.A. Zhdanov. We were sitting in my former office. Its owner was already I.S. Yumashev, who took command of the Pacific Fleet after my appointment to the People's Commissariat. The adjutant reported:

          - The captain of the first rank Kuznetsov is asking for you.
          - Which Kuznetsov? Submariner? I asked in amazement. - He is.
          This interested me so much that I interrupted the conversation and, without even asking the permission of A.A. Zhdanov, said: - Let me go immediately!
          Konstantin Matveyevich immediately entered the office. During the year he had changed a lot, looked pale and haggard. But I knew where he came from.
          - Allow me to report, the freed and rehabilitated captain of the first rank Kuznetsov has appeared, - he reported.
          Andrei Alexandrovich looked at him in bewilderment, then at me. "Why such a rush?" - I read in his eyes.
          - Did you sign a statement that you are an enemy of the people? I asked Kuznetsov.
          - Yes, you can sign it there. - Kuznetsov showed his mouth, in which there were almost no teeth left.
          “That's what's going on,” I turned to Zhdanov. Everything connected with this case came to life in my memory.
          - Yes, indeed, a lot of disgrace was revealed, - Zhdanov responded dryly and did not continue this conversation.

I worked for Ukraine for many years, although only that was Kerch (now Russia) Odessa, Ilyichevsk, Nikolaev, Mariupol. The most unpleasant imprint remained from Kerch nine years ago, here, although people did not fall, they were on the verge of this, when the light was turned off after 8 pm, and one day they gave hot water, when the soldiers, along with the grandmothers, stood at the stores and asked not for money, but something to eat. Shadows walked the streets, not people.

You have compared it with our time. But even in your opinion, it turns out that our time is better than that. Further, if you go into the depths of Russia, then the situation there is not much better than the one you described in Ukraine.

    I think that there is no secret of personality ... IVS Stalin devoted his whole life to the service in the practice of building a just society, and on this path there were struggles, mistakes, and victories. To know what he wanted and through this it would have been easier to examine his actions. and not invent for him.

      You think so. And for those in power, it is a big mystery that there are no vested interests, with unlimited power. And the reason for this is his deep ideological spirit, which does not provide for the enrichment of the personal and those around him. This principle of justice does not fit in the heads of the modern rulers of Russia.

        I will continue, colleagues, your and my thoughts. For the era of Stalin is directly related to the present. I believe that after the death of Joseph Vissarionovich, his era was thoroughly analyzed by traitors to his ideas, as well as by foreign enemies of our political system, and appropriate conclusions were drawn about how to destroy it, the Soviet system.
        Stalin, together with his army of 8 million soldiers who perished on the battlefields, went to Slav forever. The death of such a number of his associates was a huge loss, a blow to the ideological content of current life. From all the dark corners, from the gloomy backyards of the general mentality of the population, petty-bourgeois sentiments, which had not been completely destroyed, began to creep out. In the era of Khrushchev and Brezhnev, they began to gain strength and took ugly corruption and gangster forms. But those who returned from the front were still alive, and they resisted as best they could. Alive, but gradually aging, leaving life, losing the opportunity to influence the ideological and political situation in the USSR. And when the bulk of the ideological ones finally got old and retired, which led to the narrowing of the general layer of ideological ones to small values, then the Gorbachev era began, the meaning of which was the revival of capitalism in the USSR. By default, the cultivated petty-bourgeois sentiments of a corruption-criminal kind, which engulfed a fairly significant segment of the population with the dull indifference of the undecided, became fertile ground for Gorbachev, and it took a very short era of Perestroika and hungry electric trains to give capitalist relations in our country at least a semi-legal look. Thus, in the depths of the socialist system, elements of capitalist relations were grown, which became the basis for the collapse of the USSR with the degeneration of the Soviet system in the emerging countries into pseudo-capitalism.
        It turns out that after 1953 the population of our country was still divided into two layers, of which the first, highly ideological, gradually faded away, and the second, petty-bourgeois, increased its numerical strength at the expense of wavering - again two ideologically opposite layers!

        What do we have in the current era? Yes, the same thing - two ideologically opposite layers! Soviet and petty-bourgeois mentality.
        President Putin took into account their presence. He sent the first and second post-war generations to retirement on time, depriving them of the opportunity to nostalgic for the great Soviet past, occupying positions of responsibility and thus influencing the minds of those who were undecided in their attitude to the present and the past. And he lowered the rest to the state of pre-retirees, for it was the passivity of these people that overthrew the Soviet system. And this is not revenge - this is all the sisters on the earrings. You were young, but did not resist, so you wanted capitalism, well, get it and sign it! He knows that few of the pre-retirees will stand up for the restoration of the Soviet system, because their youth and youth passed in an unattractive era of dying general secretaries, the growth of corruption, crime, and then in Gorbachev's Perestroika. And it is unlikely that there will be a sufficient number of those among them who will give their lives for the restoration of socialism.

        This is my theory of two layers. Since 1917, we have been divided by a new type of ideological confrontation. We are pioneers in this, pioneers. Will our ideological stratum, which has lost it now, ever gain strength? A strength worthy of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin and his Holy Host who fell in the Second World War?
        History - she can hide her face behind a veil, but she never forgets anything.

    And my acquaintance began with this book: About the book "Generalissimo"
    Historical and documentary research "Generalissimo" by the famous Russian writer V.V. Karpov is dedicated to I.V. Stalin, one of the most outstanding figures in world history, who made a colossal contribution to the strengthening of the USSR and the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. The author pays special attention to Stalin's military leadership talent, his activities as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The writer, according to him, does not pretend "to be an epic canvas: this book is not a novel or a story." It is a mosaic assembled from those found by V.V. Karpov and other authors, known and little-known, of Stalin's deeds. The main concern of the writer is to recreate the most complete objective picture of I.V. Stalin.

    Vladimir KARPOV is a famous Russian writer, laureate of State and international prizes, academician, author of many books, including those popular in our country and abroad - "The Commander", "Marshal Zhukov". His works are distinguished by high artistry and research depth based on documents. Karpov, a war veteran, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, graduated from two military academies and the V.I. Gorky, worked in the General Staff (even under Stalin). This weight gave him the opportunity to create a fundamental, objective work (without embellishment and denigration) about the largest historical personality of the XNUMXth century, Generalissimo IV Stalin.

    Last impression of the book

    "In January 2010, an outstanding, worthy man, Volodya Karpov, passed away. I knew him well, he is a real Soviet man, a patriot, a communist. Vladimir Vasilyevich Karpov, a former penal boxer, became a Hero of the Soviet Union, the most honest truthful person who knows the value of life, an open person. Faithfully served our Motherland, our people, has always been an example worthy of imitation. Bright memory and eternal Glory! (Colonel Dmitry M. Larionov, 2010) "

    And now I read:
    Articles and speeches about Ukraine
    Stalin I.
    The reader is invited to a book that contains articles and speeches by I.V. Stalin from 1917 to 1934, dedicated to Ukraine. Among them are reports on the national question in the context of Ukraine, on relations and negotiations with the Central Rada, which ruled in Ukraine for some time, on national issues in party and state building, on the policy of the Soviet state on the national question. The book also contains the texts of telegrams sent by I.V. Stalin in the summer of 1920, when he was a member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Southwestern Front. The book is recommended for historians, social scientists, political scientists, philosophers, undergraduate and graduate students of the relevant specialties, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the USSR, theory and history of Marxism and socialism
    Everything collected in this book gives an idea that what is happening now was 100 years ago, but then Russia had something to offer the outskirts at the head of the Bolsheviks, and therefore they retained both power and the country. Today's capitalist Russia has nothing to offer, so it loses the former Soviet republics.

Many do not understand Stalin, do not understand and no one thinks how it was for him to participate in the combination of the front and rear, and also not to lose sight of the policy of both allies and enemies. He managed to do this and remained the USSR, even stronger than before the war. It is also surprising how many traitors there were in Russia, both during the tsarist and socialist times.

    The attitude to Stalin, as to the Emperor, testifies NOT to Stalin, but to the preservation of the slave spirit in the society of the descendants of serfs. For some reason, no one is interested in the fact that from 1923 to 1941 Stalin did not hold any positions in the Government at all.

    He was a leader in the ruling party of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, which did not have the position of "chairman" (as in China), but according to the charter there was a principle of democratic centralism. That is, the positions were elective and accountable. Nobody could become "Tsar" - by birthright or "be appointed successor". In short, the most important thing is that the public is not interested ... and that says a lot.

      I'm wondering why the desire of the Russian people to have a worthy leader is interpreted as an inescapable habit of slavery?
      How many American films have I watched, where episodes of elections - either the city mayor, the senator, the congressman, or even the president - are flickering. And everywhere there are huge crowds of voters, crowded into huge halls to meet their candidate, ovations with which they greet him, reaching out to shake hands with him, good wishes, expressions of hope for his success ... Are they slaves? No, they are free Americans. Free in their imagination and that of the entire Western world. Free, choosing their leader. For some reason, these free people can have a leader, but for some reason we cannot.
      Or maybe everything is simple? Because we do not have and cannot have a leader, since there is no one to choose from. And the one who is positioned as the leader of the nation is no longer such, but is appointed by law. Therefore, if we start shouting: "Leader! .. Leader!" - the competent authorities may also come to us because of the legislative obscenity of our demand, and the liberals, in their own way playing up to the competent authorities, will smile subtly, intelligently and very publicly: "Again the memory of their serf ancestors has woken up in these Russians!"

          All these "habits of slavery", and the "inertia of social consciousness." Oh-ho-ho ...
          Firstly, the right of fortress has nothing to do with slavery. Absolutely. At all. This is a completely different social phenomenon. It is not surprising that the humanities do not understand the difference. They don't understand much at all. To our great regret, when in 1812 the nobles massively betrayed the right of the fortress, it became virtually slavery. And it existed in Russia for less than a century.
          Secondly. A worthy leader? Let's leave aside the question of why it is bad to have a worthy leader. It is useless to convince those who think so, since there is nothing to convince, there are no corresponding mechanisms in the brain. The question is - why does the state need a strong authoritarian leader? And the answer is that such a shlider is badly needed surrounded by enemies. As the supreme combat commander. Or real slavery, violence, death awaits everyone. That's all.
          Stalin, by the way, really did not have any supreme position up to the rank of Supreme Commander-in-Chief. It was his absolutely outstanding technique that pushed him far out of the ranks. Stalin was a brilliant organizer, practically unseen in history. Only what he organized worked in the country. From the moment Lenin was shot, there was simply no person who looked like Stalin. So he became the most important. Strange story, isn't it?

        I dare to assume that Stalin was greatly impressed by the work of Karl Zeiss, a German physician and scientist, in the Soviet Union he was on the Trans-Baikal expedition, was engaged in the treatment of drug addiction and syphilis in 1927-29, in 1930 he returned to Germany, in 1945 he was brought to the Union, died 1948 According to his theory, it is not important which society (Germans, Russians, Mongols, Chinese) consists of four (phenotypic) types of categories of people:
        10% - Aristocrats: warriors, chiefs,
        20% - Producers: workers, peasants,
        30% - Clever people: scientists, teachers, doctors, writers, priests
        40% - Parasites: merchants, financiers, lumpen; thieves
        - each type has its own characteristic bouquets of diseases associated with the overload of certain organs; for example in Parasites - sexual diseases due to the most unbridled sexual behavior are more common
        During his work on the expedition, Zeiss observed the exiles and concluded that if a member from the first category falls into the fourth, then he cannot, in principle, improve and it is better to shoot him, so his appearance negatively affects the rest, which he wrote to Stalin, and he did not answer, but remembered the name of the scientist.

    If. For the most part, these are just officials who have seized on cash flows. And selected mainly on the basis of personal loyalty.

    And WHO selects officials? WHO says every year that the work of the government is satisfied?

    Probably Eltsin ... laughing lol wassat hi

    I did not read all the comments, neither in the note (article) nor in the comments there is a word - sovereignty.
    Those. blah blah again. And there are facts about Stalinism - genocide, industrialization, World War II, the struggle for this notorious sovereignty of the country. Authoritarianism, with the development of any system, the same is inevitable, which is also a fact. But what a price. It seems to me - a feast victory for all this. And certainly not a paranoid tyrant. No, not how!

      1.! The word "Pyrrhic" is written with two "R".
      2. To equate industrialization and flagrant crimes against the law and the state in the USSR is the lot of complete Coetins. The descendants of serfs are fundamentally unable to distinguish between "crimes of power" from crimes against the state and power. For for them "power" = "tyranny of the master".
      3.- Condemnation of the country's sovereignty is the idiocy of the average man who thinks that "if we lost the war to the Germans, we would live like the Germans," and if "we lost to the Japanese, we would live like the Japanese." There are simply, but there are - the descendants of idiots - serfs of the 18th century, dreaming of a good master - German or Japanese ...

        You to a psychiatrist ... I did not condemn sovereignty, it's time. Two, it is impossible to equate industrialization and crime.
        Three-
        The descendants of serfs are fundamentally unable to distinguish between "crimes of power" from crimes against the state and power. For for them "power" = "tyranny of the master".

        Simply, I will not list all the mistakes. You should pass the exam.

    You said - we, I understood correctly that you share some of my thoughts, did I really understand you correctly? Then - Madame / Mademoiselle (although I could be wrong, maybe you are a gentleman love ) this question should be addressed to the hero of the day - the Chief of the General Staff, General of the Army Gerasimov, (who is congratulated every 30 minutes by "Zvezda" throughout the day on this sad holiday, and they do not seem to know the measures) since the remnants of the Soviet Army are subordinate to him , we are just a support service. lol
