Stalin's trips to the front

В historical For a long time, the literature was promoting the version that Stalin was afraid to go to the front and never was there, and at the suggestion of the "strategist" Khrushchev, the leader allegedly led the troops "on a globe" and was afraid to leave Moscow. In fact, this is not so: during the defense of Moscow in 1941, Stalin visited the front three times and in August 1943 traveled for four days to the front-line zone in the area of ​​Gzhatsk and Rzhev.
Plus, Stalin really didn't like flying. The fact of his trip to the Tehran conference in November 1943 is reliably known. From Moscow to Baku through Stalingrad, he took a special train in an armored car, and from Baku he flew by plane to Tehran and so secretly that everyone wondered how Stalin got to the conference. Before this trip, Stalin secretly visited the Western and Kalinin Fronts.

Travel to the front in 1941


The first time Stalin went to the Western Front in July 1941, where a powerful Mozhaisk line of defense was created in the Maloyaroslavl direction. He examined the first belt of the defense line, which ran along the line of Serpukhov, Solnechnogorsk, Zvenigorod, to which the Stavka reserves were to be advanced for the defense of Moscow. Having met with the command of the front and the armies, he discussed in detail with them the deployment of troops and the plan for the defense of Moscow. According to the recollections of Tukov, attached to Stalin, the trip lasted one day, they moved in a Ford accompanied by guards along country roads, in the villages they recognized Stalin and greeted him.



In early October 1941, Stalin and Bulganin, accompanied by guards, went to the Maloyaroslavskaya and Volokolamskaya defense lines at night, inspected its fortifications in some places. According to the recollections of the head of the guard, General Vlasik, in one place a battle between Soviet and German fighters began over their heads. Stalin got out of the car and watched the battle, when hot fragments fell and hissed like snakes around in the wet grass. Stalin looked at them coolly and with interest, and then remarked with a laugh: "They are hissing, here is a fascist brat."

Also, a couple of weeks before the counteroffensive, Stalin traveled to the village of Lupikha on the Volokolamsk highway, where the front-line hospital was located. There he met with the wounded who had just withdrawn from the battle. Sitting on a stool, he asked them what the German was strong and what his weakness was.
In mid-November 1941, Stalin traveled to Rokossovsky's 16th Army to see the Katyusha installation in action. This trip by Stalin was indeed dangerous, as the Germans hunted for these multiple launch rocket launchers and took measures to capture them.

The Katyusha division on November 13, 1941, under the command of Captain Kirsanov, whose actions were watched by Stalin, struck fire at the enemy troops near the village of Skirmanovo, as a result of which a large number of enemy equipment and manpower were destroyed. After the fire strike, the Katyusha, as was prescribed, quickly left the battlefield, and everyone forgot about Stalin in the confusion. Return shelling began, and then flew aviation... Stalin traveled in an armored Packard, accompanied by an EMK, the bus with security was not taken with them for reasons of disguise.

There was a lot of snow and the heavy "Packard" quickly sat down on the bottom, Stalin got over to the "Emka", but she soon got stuck. Everyone, including Stalin, began to push the car, but they moved very slowly, and there were about four kilometers to the highway. By chance, three tank T-34 of the legendary lieutenant Dmitry Lavrinenko. One tank hooked up the "Emka" in tug, and the other rushed after the stuck "Packard".
At that moment, a division of the German cavalry of the SS troops approached this place, they could not use tanks and motorcycles because of the deep snow. Seeing Soviet tanks, the SS did not dare to contact them and watched the evacuation of the vehicles from a distance. Stalin returned safely to the headquarters of the 16th Army, where he expressed gratitude to Captain Kirsanov, without mentioning a word about the incident. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, we received documents confirming that after the fire strike of Captain Kirsanov, the Germans threw an airborne group into the area from the air and there was a real danger for Stalin.

Travel to the front in August 1943


Stalin's trip on August 2-5, 1943, to the front-line zone in the areas of Gzhatsk, Yukhnov, Rzhev, which had been liberated from the Germans back in March 1943, was not entirely understandable. The front line from them was from 130 to 160 km. At this time, Soviet troops were successfully advancing after the defeat of the Germans at the Kursk Bulge, and Stalin went the other way to the Western Front to get acquainted with the situation at the front, where Operation Suvorov was being prepared to liberate Smolensk and defeat the left wing of Army Group Center.

Stalin instructed the trip to be prepared by the Deputy People's Commissar of the NKVD, General Serov, who described it in detail in his diary. This description is also interesting because it shows how Stalin behaves in everyday life, with the employees and generals around him, as well as with people he met by chance.

On the night of August 2, Stalin summoned Serov to his office and ordered to prepare his trip to the Western and Kalinin Fronts in the morning. He said that the leadership of the security and organization of the trip is entrusted to Serov, although he had never done this before, and the level of secrecy should be such that no one should know about this trip, including the head of Stalin's security, General Vlasik. Serov later noted in his diary how suspicious Stalin was, he trusted few people, and it must have been very difficult for him to live like that, and when he left Moscow, he did not even tell the Politburo members about it. The leader did not report the full route to Serov, although he trusted him and entrusted the most important operations. He did it "in parts": first a trip to Gzhatsk (130 km north of Yukhnov), then to Yukhnov (210 km southwest of Moscow), from there through Vyazma to Rzhev (230 km northwest of Moscow) and in the evening of August 5, return to Moscow.

Serov went to Gzhatsk to prepare accommodation in civilian clothes by car, and Stalin - by special train. Beria accompanied him to the train station, Stalin was in a gray civilian coat and a cap with a red star, and all those accompanying him were also in civilian clothes. The special train consisted of an ancient steam locomotive, old carriages, platforms with firewood, hay and sand. The soft armored carriage was carefully camouflaged in tsarist times, and one of the carriages contained an armored Packard. The composition as a whole had a harmless and unsightly appearance.
In spite of Stalin's will (most likely, at Beria's command), a carriage was attached to the train, where 75 guards were in the uniform of railroad workers. The heads of security were following the train on the bus along the highway. Serious security measures were taken, along the entire route of movement, the NKVD regiment provided security.

When Serov arrived in Gzhatsk, the city looked empty and in ruins, occasionally there were women, children, old people: after the liberation of the city, all men were drafted into the army. Serov looked at a small house on the outskirts, put things in order in it and brought HF communication. Then he went to meet Stalin at a small station, from which only a few skeletons of houses remained. The Packard was unloaded from the train and Stalin rode it to Gzhatsk, where he was placed in a house. Around were placed guard posts from those who arrived by train. Stalin left the house and saw a badly disguised guard, then another one, and asked Serov: "Who is this?" He replied that it was the guard who had arrived with him. Stalin was indignant and ordered them to be removed, since there are practically no men in the city, and such protection only attracts attention. Serov had to send guards to Moscow, but several people from his entourage remained next to Stalin.

According to the plan, they were supposed to spend the night in Gzhatsk, but Stalin got in touch with the commander of the Western Front Sokolovsky, introduced himself as "Ivanov", talked with him and unexpectedly told Serov to leave for the Yukhnov area, find several houses there in the forest, of which the front headquarters moved forward , and there they will spend the night.

Serov moved along the broken field roads to the area, called a detachment of border guards to guard, found houses that the front headquarters had already left and took all the furniture from there. The female signalmen cleaned the house and made a bed with a straw mattress and a similar pillow. Stalin drove up in a Packard and, when Serov said that there was only one bed with a straw mattress in the house, he said: “Why am I a prince, or what? I don’t need a palace ”. He was pleased with the improvement.

Stalin immediately contacted Sokolovsky and demanded that he come and report on the situation at the front. He told Serov to put a bottle of wine and fruit in the next room. There was wine in the car, but the car with food did not come. Later it became known that bandits attacked her and plundered all Stalin's delicacies.

Stalin, heard the sound of German bombers flying by, drew attention to the "Packard" standing in an open place and, angry, ordered it to be removed immediately. The car overheated from driving on broken roads and the engine stalled, it had to be urgently thrown with branches.
Soon Sokolovsky and Bulganin arrived. Serov asked if they had any food, since there was nothing to feed Stalin. They had everything, and Serov gave the command to cook dinner for Stalin. The meeting was short-lived, Stalin hurried everyone to prepare for the offensive. All, having drunk a bottle of "Tsinandali", came out drunk. Sokolovsky in his report noted the good support of the front by long-range aviation under the command of General Golovanov. Stalin called Malenkov in Moscow. He asked where he was calling from. Stalin replied: "It doesn't matter" (Malenkov did not know where Stalin was). And he said to publish tomorrow a decree on awarding Golovanov with the rank of Air Marshal, then he phoned the Marshal and congratulated him.

After the front command left, Stalin rested and asked Serov: “What, will we have some stew today?” Because he knew that the car with the groceries had not arrived. Serov showed him behind the house how his assistants prepare a gorgeous dinner from Sokolovsky's products, the leader appreciated the general's resourcefulness. After lunch, Stalin said that he had been informed that Serov had not slept for the third day, insisted and checked that he fell asleep. In the evening, Stalin told Serov that tomorrow morning he was going by train to the Kalinin front to Eremenko in the Rzhev region, and the general was flying there by plane and preparing a meeting. In the morning, Stalin left by train, and Serov flew to the small village of Horoshevo near Rzhev, which was not much destroyed by the Germans.

In the village he found a decent house and told the hostess that the general would stay in the house for a couple of days. She began to be indignant that during the time of the Germans she had a colonel in her quarters, ours came and settled the general. When will she live? Serov barked at her so that in half an hour she would not be here. I called the NKVD soldiers, they cleaned the house and provided security. I met Stalin, who liked the placement, but there was an incident. An HF telephone was installed in the house, in which one had to turn a pen before speaking. Stalin was not warned about this. He contacted Eremenko, but the conversation did not work out, and he began to get angry, especially since Stalin was dissatisfied with Eremenko's actions. He began to scream obscenities at the front commander that he was marking time and the front was not moving.

Then he ordered Serov to find a person to meet Eremenko, who invited General Zabarev and explained that Stalin should be addressed without titles, just "Comrade Stalin." At the sight of Stalin, Zubarev turned pale, stretched out, clicked his heels and uttered a tirade: "Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Marshal of the Soviet Union." Stalin greeted him, he answered him: "I wish you good health, Comrade Marshal of the Soviet Union," and clicked his heels again. Stalin looked at Zubarev and Serov in amazement. When Zabarev left, Stalin asked Serov: "Why does he jump like a ballerina?"

Soon Eremenko drove up, followed by a pickup truck with cameramen. Eremenko began to ask Serov to leave the "film crew" for filming with Stalin in "front-line conditions." Serov said: "Only with Stalin's permission." The meeting was held for about half an hour in a raised voice. When everyone left, Stalin said to serve wine and fruit. Everyone drank a glass for success at the front, Eremenko grew bolder and asked to be photographed. Stalin said: "Well, that's not a bad idea." Eremenko blossomed, but Stalin offered to be photographed only when Eremenko liberated Smolensk. By this, the leader ironically put the man in his place.

Serov was informed that the radio had announced the capture of Belgorod and the end of the battles for Orel. Serov reported to Stalin and he, smiling, said: “In old Russia, the victory of the troops was celebrated under Ivan the Terrible with the ringing of bells, under Peter I — with fireworks, and we must also celebrate such victories. I think it is necessary to give salutes from guns in honor of the victorious troops. " On the same day, a salute was fired for the first time to commemorate the liberation of Belgorod and Orel.

When it was getting dark, Stalin entered the house and Serov decided to get some sleep. They woke him up and said that Stalin was calling. He stood in the yard and held his hand behind his back, Serov was in civilian clothes and put his hand to the peak of his cap. Stalin said that he should be fined for breaking his uniform, then he took out a bottle of cognac from behind his back and poured him a glass, and said: "Be healthy, Comrade Serov, you did a good job, thank you." Serov flatly refused, as he was responsible for the safety of the leader and could not afford to relax. Stalin insisted and then Serov, seeing not far from the security colonel Khrustalev, suggested: "Here Khrustalev can drink great." Stalin called the colonel, he drank to the bottom, grunted and the incident was over. When Stalin went to bed, Khrustalev began to be transported, and Serov replaced him at his post.

The next morning Serov went to wake up Stalin, he was lying on the bed without undressing. Stalin went out into the courtyard and asked Serov what he would give the mistress of the house for living? Serov said that he was not going to give her anything, as she did not want to let them into the house. Then he agreed to give her one hundred rubles, since he didn't have any more. Stalin noted that this was not enough and ordered to give food, fruit and wine. Stalin was taken to the station, and he left for Moscow by special train. After that, Serov went to "pay" the owner. She herself approached him and said that she did not know about Comrade Stalin's living in her house, and let him live with her as long as he wanted. Serov paid her off as promised to Stalin.
These diary entries of Serov show Stalin's attitude (perhaps sometimes not entirely fair) to the generals and completely different - to ordinary people and his entourage.

    Thanks to the author for the interesting reading. After the death of Joseph Vissarionovich, the National Union of Artists did everything to make the new generation think that Stalin hid in a bunker throughout the war and fought "on a globe." That is why the history textbooks do not say a word either about the Supreme or about his activities during the Second World War. And the role of this particular ruler is of great importance in the history of the Russian state.

      For a long time, a version has been promoted in historical literature that Stalin was afraid to go to the front and never was there, and at the suggestion of the "strategist" Khrushchev, the leader allegedly led the troops "on a globe" and was afraid to leave Moscow.
      In fact, Moscow at the end of 41 was a front-line city, and Stalin refused to evacuate from it. So to accuse him of cowardice is at least strange. But Khrushch really did everything to discredit his predecessor, only one story that Stalin was in prostration in the first days of the war, did not want to see anyone and hid something from everyone in the world in a dacha near Moscow. And after all, many still believe that it was so, although the visit log has long been freely available.

        The repainted Trotskyists did everything to make the enemy give up near Moscow. Party leaders have already gathered in Moscow, and if Stalin had succumbed to persuasion and left the capital, he would have been immediately removed and capitalism would have come here much earlier ...

        The use of external power to achieve their narrowly party goals is present in the history of all states. Today, color revolutions are much cheaper.

          Just enchanting nonsense. It turns out that there were Trotskyists all around. It turns out they also wanted the defeat of the USSR. It turns out they were also for capitalism. Einstein said correctly: "There are two infinite things in the world - the universe and human stupidity, although I am not sure about the universe."

            Duc ... judging by the processes and results of the work of the Central Committee in the 30s - 50s, the entire leadership of the party consisted of already disclosed and still hidden Trotskyists. And whoever is not a Trotskyist is a member of an anti-party group, or who joined them. smile

              So if you listen to them, they have traitors all around and for some reason everyone is in their party. How did they do it ?! Stalin alone is sinless. How did the Trotskyist Khrushchev not destroy the USSR? All the Trotskyists were waiting for, that's just not clear what. And then it turned out that the Trotskyists were for capitalism. In my opinion, these communists did not read Marx, Engels, or Lenin, and certainly not Trotsky.

                  Trotsky created and led the Red Army in the Civil War ...

                  The Red Army was created and led by former officers of the tsarist army. There were more than eight hundred former officers of the General Staff in the Red Army alone. And in total, more than 40 thousand. And the October Revolution itself (which at that time was called the "October coup") took place only after the agreements between the Bolsheviks and the General Staff, which refused to support Kerensky, and recognized the Bolsheviks immediately after the coup.
                  Trotsky's activities only contributed to the kindling of the Civil War, which, according to Lenin, could have been completely avoided.

                      On the fact that the Bolsheviks took power in the WHOLE COUNTRY almost bloodlessly. Everyone who was clearly not against Soviet power was involved in running the state. Many agreed to serve, from bankers to gendarmes.
                      The small White Guard detachments did not pose a serious threat.
                      A full-scale civil war was initiated by the mutiny of the Czechoslovak corps. Soviet power was simultaneously overthrown along the entire Transsib, from Samara to Vladivostok.
                      Great Britain played out this mutiny as if by notes.

                        In 1912-1913. worked in the Commercial and Industrial Bank in St. Petersburg and in the Moscow branch of this bank.

                        The bank's commissioner V.V. Obolensky questioned the officials of the State Bank about their consent or disagreement to work. The majority, as indicated in the press release, in one form or another expressed a desire to begin their duties from December 5 (November 22).
                        Still.
                        in Pravda, an order of the Military Revolutionary Committee was published with threats addressed to the strikers. After that, part of the workers of average qualification returned to the State Bank

                        Yudenich's army was formed on June 20, 1919, i.e. after the revolt of the Czechs.

                        And how does this relate to the revolt of the Czechs?

                        Uh-huh ... well, just think, ten days after the start of the offensive, Yudenich's forces reached the line Ligovo - Krasnoe Selo - Tsarskoe Selo - Kolpino. These are such trifles that the Reds had to build a defense line at the Pulkovo Heights - the last line of Petrograd / Leningrad, throw cadets, sailors, workers' militia into battle, create an internal defense of the city and prepare important objects for destruction (some kind of deja vu). And I had to personally lead the defense of the cradle of the revolution Zhukov Trotsky.

                        A great Civil War began, with a mutiny of the White Czechs.
                        And Yudenich, chronologically, after the start of the rebellion.
                        The entire strength of Yudenich's army per one full-blooded division.
                        And a full exertion of forces was required, among other things, because the Soviet power was overthrown in most of the country at once.

                You don’t understand what you are writing about, you don’t understand the meaning of the terms "Bolshevik" and "Trotskyist", and as a result, it’s absurd.

                Bolshevism, as the history of the CPSU teaches, emerged in 1903 at the Second Congress of the RSDLP as one of the party factions. As his opponents argued, the Bolsheviks until 1917 never represented the actual majority of the members of the Marxist party, and therefore the opponents of the Bolsheviks in those years always objected to their self-designation. But such an opinion stemmed from the misunderstanding of the essence of Bolshevism by the heterogeneous Mensheviks.

                Bolshevism - this is not a Russian variety of Marxism and not a party affiliation. And the phrase “Jewish Bolshevism” used by Hitler in “Mein Kampf” is completely meaningless, since Bolshevism is a manifestation of the spirit of Russian civilization, and not the spirit of the bearers of the biblical doctrine of global slavery on a racial basis. Bolshevism existed before Marxism, existed in Russian Marxism, somehow it exists today. It will continue to exist. As stated by the Bolsheviks themselves - members of the Marxist party RSDLP (b), it was they who expressed in politics the strategic interests of the working majority of the population of multinational Russia, as a result of which only they had the right to be called Bolsheviks.

                Regardless of how infallible the Bolsheviks are in expressing the strategic interests of the labor majority, how much this majority itself is aware of their strategic interests and is true to them in life, the essence of Bolshevism is not in the numerical superiority of adherents of certain ideas over adherents of other ideas and a thoughtless crowd, namely in a sincere desire to express and implement the long-term strategic interests of the labor majority, who wants no one to parasitize on their work and life. In other words, the essence of Bolshevism is historically real in every epoch - in the active support of the transition process from the historically established crowd of “elitism” to Humanity.

                Trotskyism - this is an ancient phenomenon inherent in a global crowd-“elite” civilization and allowing people who are committed to it, openly declaring good intentions, suppress them by their own actions by default; is the basis of idealistic and materialistic atheism. In the distant past, he performed under the name of obsession; during the heyday of enlightenment in the West, it was perceived as abstract humanism, and during the period of revolutionary upheavals in Russia it was called Trotskyism, after a man who fully combined obsession, abstract humanism and atheism in his personal life and social activities.

                Trotskyism Is not at all one of the varieties of Marxism. A characteristic feature of Trotskyism in the communist movement in the twentieth century was complete deafness to the content of criticism expressed against it, combined with adherence to the principle of suppressing in life the declarations proclaimed by the Trotskyists, a system of silences, on the basis of which they actually act, united in the collective unconscious.

                This means that Trotskyism is a mental phenomenon. Trotskyism, in a sincere personal manifestation of well-intentioned by its adherents, is characterized by the conflict between the individual consciousness and the unconscious, both individual and collective, generated by all Trotskyists in their totality.

                And in this conflict, the collective unconscious of the Trotskyists viciously triumphs, suppressing the personal perceived well-intentioned of each of them with the totality of their deeds. This mental trait, inherent in many individuals, is a much more ancient phenomenon than historically real Trotskyism. For this property of the psyche of individuals, no other word was found in the distant past, except for "obsession", and in the era of the dominance of the materialistic worldview, for this phenomenon there were no words at all in the language that correspond to the essence of this type of mental impairment, which was named after the pseudonym of one of its most prominent representatives.

                It is for this reason - of a purely mental nature - that equal relations with Trotskyism and Trotskyists personally at the level of intellectual discussion, arguments and counterarguments are fruitless and dangerous for those who do not see its real underpinnings that do not depend on the ideology that clothe it. Such features of Trotskyism in the historically broad sense of the word lead to the fact that relations between people and Trotskyism lie outside the field of constructive discussions, collective "brainstorming" of some problems and other definitely expedient human activity. At the same time, relations with Trotskyism and Trotskyists also fall out of the field of ethics and morality of human relations, and if in this case they do not fit into the possibilities of psychiatry and mental healing developed in society in a particular historical era, then they go into the field of practical social hygiene. Trotskyism in this case includes a mechanism for imitating a struggle with oneself and, activating it in public life, draws many people not involved in it into the meat grinder of repression, so that later these victims are blamed on their opponents: this was the case in the real history of the Inquisition in the Catholic world, this was the case in the USSR during the period of the struggle between Bolshevism and Trotskyist Marxism.

                Under the dominance of the Trotskyists in power, those who once viewed the mistakes of the Trotskyists as their sincere ideological delusions and spoke directly about them in society, trying to reason with the Trotskyists, were destroyed under far-fetched false pretexts: this was clearly expressed in the fate of many victims of the NKVD-OGPU from 1918 to 1930 year, when these bodies were completely controlled by the Trotskyists and were filled with their henchmen.

                Trotskyism in its essence is a schizophrenic, aggressive, politically-active psyche that can hide behind any ideology, any sociological doctrine.

                Therefore, Marxism is originally an expression of mental Trotskyism. Marx and Engels were psychtrotskyists. Hitler was also a psychtrotskyist [1]. At the end of the USSR, the dissidents were anti-communist psychtrotskyists. And now the majority of pro-bourgeois reform activists in Russia and their opponents from the ranks of various patriotic parties and all supposedly communist parties that are unable to abandon Marxism are also psychtrotskyists.

                Psychtrotskyism is a psychological phenomenon (more than a political one), ideologically omnivorous - in fact, these are the claims of a parasitic minority to rule over society on behalf of the working majority. They announce one thing, do something completely different. What is default (unsaid) is more important than what is announced.

                Psychtrotskyism is (shamelessly) arrogant arrogance that claims to realize itself in politics without acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills. “I am the only and without alternative wise, and therefore my life mission is to lead politically, that is, give him the meaning of life and reign in his own name "- this initial moral and ethical principle of psychtrotskyism is a variety and concrete expression of the general principle of Satanism" I am better than them, and therefore I have the right, and they should ...

                  But at the same time, some of the Bolsheviks were Trotskyists

                  Trotskyism is an ancient phenomenon inherent in the global crowd-"elite" civilization and allows people who are committed to it, openly declaring good intentions

      Quote: sleeve
      I simply did not pay attention to this part of the history of the Second World War

      They did it right: this "part of the Second World War" simply does not exist:

      Firstly, the author simply ripped off the following from a real source (Rybin):
      There was a lot of snow and the heavy Packard quickly sat down on the bottom,
      At that moment, a division of the German cavalry of the SS troops approached this place, they could not use tanks and motorcycles because of the deep snow. Seeing the Soviet tanks, the SS did not dare to contact them and watched the evacuation of the vehicles from a distance.

      And here is what Rybin, a former bodyguard of Stalin, writes:
      “There was a lot of snow, and Stalin's Packard sat on its belly.
      At that moment, a division of German cavalry from the 1st SS Cavalry Brigade approached the place from where the Katyushas were being fired - the Germans could not use tanks and motorcycles because of the deep snow. However, the SS did not dare to contact the Russian tanks and watched the evacuation of cars from a distance.


      Second, the author writes:
      On to the memoirs of the chief of security, General Vlasik, in one place above their heads a battle began between Soviet and German fighters. Stalin got out of the car and watched the battle when around fell into the wet grass and hissed like snakes hot shards. Stalin looked at them coolly and with interest, and then remarked with a laugh: "Hiss like a fascist brat".


      But he writes Rybin:
      “And around hot shards fall and hiss in the wet grass, like snakes... The Supreme Commander began to examine them with interest, and then remarked with a laugh: “They hiss like a fascist brat ".


      In the same way Rybin and Vlvsik are the same by one they say with words! lol

      Thirdly, neither Rokossovsky (who, allegedly, had Stalin in the 16th Army, neither the Zhukov front commander knew about it in a dream, nor in spirit, and did not leave a single testimony about "trips to the" front "" (about, allegedly, "secrets": you can write to the guards, and the marshals of Victory - "no", yeah).

      Does not know about those and early. Of the General Staff Vasilevsky (except August 43) and in general NONE of the generals and marshals, to whom Stalin allegedly went.

      The only confirmed departure to ATthe front zone in Yukhnov (130! Km to the front) is August 1943 about which, in fact, many wrote about.

      They wrote in perplexity and even more:

      Marshal Voronov:
      “On August 3, all of a sudden, we were summoned to Yukhnov. From the front it was already far away, and we had to go for a long time.

      - We will not deal with the details. The Western Front needed to approach Smolensk by the spring of 1944, prepare thoroughly, accumulate forces and take the city.

      This phrase was repeated twice.

      The conversation was essentially over. We set off on the way back.

      Many were surprised by this secret departure of the Supreme Commander to Yukhnov. Why did you have to go so many kilometers along the road torn apart by tanks and tractors, which in some places became impassable, and stop in a town far from the front? He could not see anything from here ... Contacting the fronts from here was much more difficult than from Moscow. A strange, unnecessary trip».


      And here is what Anasatas Mikoyan, a member of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, said about them (“Stalin as I knew him” (Moscow, “Algorithm”, 2015):

      “Stalin was not a very brave ten. After all, this is an impossible task: Supreme Commander never went to the front! However, he went once ... I wanted, apparently, that a rumor would go around the army that Stalin had gone to the front. However, he did not reach the front ..
      There is also an interesting continuation, yes ...

      So these lines:
      that the situation on the Soviet-German front requires "more often than usual, go to the troops, to certain sectors of our front"
      - nothing more than a lie: there was neither "usually", nor, moreover, "more often than usual."

      Nevertheless, being in Moscow in the terrible October-November 1941 in Moscow is a really courageous act.

          Yes, I also remembered)
          From the screenplay "The Fall of Berlin":
          ..... Stalin is a few steps away from them, he stops, affectionately looking at the meeting of two souls who have lost each other in the whirlpool of war. He looks and smiles in a fatherly way, as if he is strengthening with his presence and blessing their life with his smile.

          Natasha approaches him and, boldly looking into his eyes, says:

          - May I kiss you, Comrade Stalin, for everything, for everything that you have done for our people, for us!

          Stalin, somewhat embarrassed by the unexpected question, throws up his hands. Natasha comes up to him and presses her lips to his shoulder.
          A powerful hurray arises. Foreigners, each in his own language, greet Stalin.

        Mikoyan was an exceptionally unscrupulous person in moral terms. A fitter. As they said about him "from Ilyich to Ilyich without a heart attack and paralysis." It goes without saying that under Khrushchev he became an ardent fighter against the personality cult. Therefore, in his memoirs, he throws mud at Stalin, including as Mikoyan assures him for Stalin's only trip to the front.
        Stalin's trips to the front were not even reported in hindsight. The secrecy of such trips was so great that there is practically no documentary evidence. If we talk about the need for such secrecy, then it was absolutely justified. Since the elimination of the head of a hostile state during a war is the most azure dream of any intelligence service.
        In turn, Mikoyan was in charge of foreign trade during the war. According to his position, he was not allowed to get a cannon shot to secrets concerning front-line affairs. Not only could he not accompany Stalin to the front, but he was not even allowed to receive information about Stalin's movements. Therefore, in his memoirs Mikoyan either sings from someone else's voice, or openly lies. You cannot believe a single word of the organizer of the execution of the workers' hunger riot in Novocherkassk in 1962.

            Huh!

            A brief description of the nonsense that is under the cover (read the announcement, by God, it's worth it):
            A new novel from the author of the bestselling "Three Tankmen from the Future"! If we are to replay the history of the Second World War - you should go with the highest suit, with the highest trump card! Whose name was the most powerful Soviet tank of the Great Patriotic War? Who was supposed to "send the machines on a furious march"? What is the easiest way to change the history of the USSR? That's right - having taken possession of the body of I.V. Stalin!

            It would seem that, having become the all-powerful Leader, the "hitman" from the future must correct all past mistakes, prepare the Red Army for Hitler's attack, and prevent the defeat of 1941. Why, then, in an alternative reality, the Great Patriotic War begins almost as catastrophically as in our past? Is this the notorious "inertia of history" to blame? Or the weakness of the "hitman" himself, whose personality is gradually losing control over Stalin's mind, suppressed by the mighty will of the Leader? Or did the accursed General Pavlov, who destroyed the Western Front, set up our troops not out of stupidity and mediocrity, but quite deliberately, intentionally, on purpose? But who then controls his mind? And what other wood can a convinced "liberal" abandoned in the Stalin era be able to break?

It's funny that even in such a seemingly simple episode as Stalin's flight from Baku to Tehran to a conference, memoirists cannot come to the same version - he flies on a S-47 with Golovanov, then with Grachev, then in general, as he claims Berezhkov, travels to Tehran by train, and the most exotic version - by ferry across the Caspian Sea and by car to Tehran.

      Whatever Stalin did, he was doing wrong today. How could Hitler be driven to suicide? In addition, if the Americans did not participate in the defense of Stalingrad, then it would never have been defended. In addition, the Americans captured Berlin, and then left it, so that the Red Army could enter and consider itself the winner. In addition, Stalin ordered to write on two nuclear bombs - hello from the United States and drop them on Japan. Of course, the fact that the allies of the USSR recognized Stalin as a wise ruler is wrong, because today's human-like Russia thinks this is wrong. And he made galoshes - a shame and a disgrace, in comparison with the present they are worthless.

    It was not entirely clear that Stalin's trip on August 2-5, 1943, to the front-line zone in the areas of Gzhatsk, Yukhnov, Rzhev, which were liberated from the Germans back in March 1943.
    The purpose of this trip is clear. Firstly, it played a positive role in raising the morale of the troops before the planned offensive operations.
    It was during this trip that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief decided to celebrate the victories and liberation of Soviet cities with salutes in honor of the Red Army troops.
    Secondly, the trip had a foreign policy aspect of this event before the preparation of the trilateral meeting of the allies. Already on August 9, JV Stalin informed W. Churchill of his assignment.
    On that day, he wrote to the British Prime Minister: "I have just returned from the front and have already managed to get acquainted with the message of the British Government of August 7 ..." JV Stalin supported the idea of ​​a meeting of the Big Three, but noted that the situation in the Soviet German front requires him "more often than usual, to go to the troops, to certain sectors of our front."

    For a long time, a version has been promoted in historical literature that Stalin was afraid to go to the front and never was there, and at the suggestion of the "strategist" Khrushchev, the leader allegedly led the troops "on a globe" and was afraid to leave Moscow.
    In the heat of the discussion on the issue of Stalin's trips to the front, for some reason no one asked the question - should Stalin have gone to the front?
    If you read the memoirs of Soviet generals, marshals, state and party leaders, then the conclusion suggests itself that Stalin's death, especially taking into account the structure of the supreme power of the war period and the general mechanisms of its functioning during the Great Patriotic War, would have disastrous consequences for the USSR.

      that Stalin's death, especially taking into account the structure of the supreme power of the war period and the general mechanisms of its functioning during the Great Patriotic War, would have catastrophic consequences for the USSR.

      This is true. But having a personal impression of the battlefield for decision making is equally important. Stalin knew this from the time of the Civil War. Otherwise the sycophants will give such information that there will be no correct decision.

      So it was said about the place of the commander back in 1934:

      And Stalin could not have traveled, but he could not afford to receive information only through third parties. This is probably why people cried and grieved over his death and accepted his death as the death of a loved one.

        He did not go to the front. Doubles and tees went there. But Stalin took them away. He took off his mustache, or camouflaged it, got behind the wheel and drove the double, or tee, to the desired section of the front. The double, or whatever, sat with the marshals, drank vodka and played cards, while Stalin the driver sat in the trench and listened to what the soldiers were saying. And he did not go to the front, why would he need it, if there are doubles with good health and who can drink half a liter of alcohol at a time. Sometimes, of a variety, this chauffeur would shoot at the Germans with a sniper, shoot several, and then ask - whose rifle? After returning, the owner of this rifle received a Hero of the Soviet Union, the rifle is strong and hits, but he never shot at people.

    1. Front is a loose concept. Both in length and width. Stalin was at a more or less close distance from the front line. I was not on the front line like here.



    2. The author dumped both real facts and legends into one heap.
    Three T-34 tanks of the legendary lieutenant accidentally passed along the lane Dmitry Lavrinenko... One tank hooked the "Emka" into the tug, and the other rushed after the stuck "Packard".

    By the participant, the characters are easily identified - the tankmen of the 4th tank brigade of Colonel Katukov.
    Neither Katukov nor Raftopullo (another author of memoirs about the 4th tank of that period) noted this episode. Although Katukov simply could not fail to note this "fact". Stalin himself arrived in the combat zone of his brigade, his tank crews made contact with him - and NOTHING! Not noted in the memoirs in any way. The whole brigade would be buzzing about this!

      Stalin could easily rule from Moscow. And now: Vanka is looking for Grishka, and Grishka is looking for Vanka.
      In all fairness, this mess did not begin now. Raikin also had this about it.
      I came to the conclusion long ago: if a miracle happens and Stalin is now in the Kremlin, he WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. NEEDS A TEAM OF LIKE-MINDERS, and this requires an idea. WHERE IS THE IDEAL NOW?

    One question is what specific party leaders gathered in Moscow in mid-October 1941. if not difficult, then a couple of names and the source of these facts

    Come on, what surnames they will tell you :). A person just wrote nonsense without thinking that now is a different time and may ask for facts to present

    That NS poured 2 tubs of slop on Stalin can be easily explained: narrow-minded people have developed cunning, apparently, nature took care not to disappear like dinosaurs, NS had enough imagination to understand: Stalin is superior in intelligence. And you want to stand out, what to do? He, himself or was prompted, came up with: Stalin distorted Lenin byaka, and he removed all the distortions automatically became on a par with Lenin

    As I understand it, this is a retelling of the diary of General Serov

    Soon Sokolovsky and Bulganin arrived ...
    ... The meeting was short-lived, Stalin hurried everyone to prepare for the offensive. All, having drunk a bottle of "Tsinandali", came out drunk.


    Something I can't believe that three healthy men got drunk from a bottle of light wine, drunk "for three", even "without a snack".
    IMHO

      I was also surprised by this, as well as a glass of brandy that literally knocked Colonel Khrustalev off his feet.

    "The first time Stalin went to the Western Front in July 1941, where a powerful Mozhaisk line of defense was being created in the Maloyaroslavl direction ... Having met with the command of the front and the armies ..."
    = = = author, at the end of July ZapF together with the command was in the vicinity of Velikiye Luki, Zap. Dvina, Smolensk. The Mozhaisk line of defense at that time was in the rear.

    "He examined the first belt of the defense line, which ran along the line of Serpukhov, Solnechnogorsk, Zvenigorod," = = = did not pass near these settlements. Mozhaisk line of defense. The author, you cannot mindlessly rewrite other people's stories.

    "In early October 1941, Stalin and Bulganin, accompanied by left at night on the Maloyaroslavskaya and Volokolamskaya line of defense, examined in some places of its fortification. According to the recollections of the chief of security, General Vlasik, a battle between Soviet and German fighters began in one place above their heads. "= = = Air battle at NIGHT !!! belay
    Wow

    “Also, a couple of weeks before the counteroffensive, Stalin traveled to the village of Lupikha on Volokolamsk highway, where the front-line hospital was located.” = = = There are generally only misunderstandings here: a) a couple of weeks before whose counteroffensive, the Wehrmacht or the Red Army, and which one? where is the date? b) why was the outdated name of the village used, which had not been used since the end of the 19th century, when it was renamed Lenino ??? (now Istra district of Moscow region).

    "In mid-November 1941, Stalin went to Rokossovsky's 16th Army to see the Katyusha installation in action." = = = A bike, not Zhukov, not Rokossovsky, they do not mention this undoubtedly significant event in their memoirs.

    Summary: the author conscientiously collected a bunch of tales in his article

    When it was getting dark, Stalin entered the house and Serov decided to get some sleep. They woke him up and said that Stalin was calling. He stood in the courtyard and held his hand behind his back, Serov was in civilian clothes and put his hand to the peak of his cap. Stalin said that he should be fined for breaking the form, then he took out a bottle of cognac from behind and poured him shot glass, and said: "Be healthy, Comrade Serov, you did a good job, thank you." Serov flatly refused, as he was responsible for the safety of the leader and could not afford to relax. Stalin insisted and then Serov, seeing not far from the security colonel Khrustalev, suggested: "Here Khrustalev can drink great." Stalin called the colonel, he drank to the bottom, grunted and the incident was settled. When Stalin went to bed, Khrustalev began to be transported, and Serov replaced him at his post.

    And I have to believe that the colonel got sick from a glass of cognac? !!!

    The author has an interesting story, but the credibility is questionable.
    Only one visit of Stalin to the front - August 1943 - was documented. There is in Voronov's memoirs, Stalin himself wrote about Cherchel.
    A trip to the front in November 1941 seems dubious to me: Stalin was multifaceted, but HE WASN'T AN IDIOT. And then it turns out that Stalin wanted to see the shooting of the RS and he dropped everything and went to watch. It is reliably known that in the fall of 1941, Stalin had workers, God forbid, and so he leaves everything to look at Katyusha's shots?
    There is a magazine, I don't remember its name, where it was recorded: when Stalin came to the office, whom he called and when. He testifies that Stalin had a very busy schedule, he could hardly leave Moscow for a long time.

    Quote: Dalny V
    Stalin refused to evacuate from it

    The repainted Trotskyists did everything to make the enemy give up near Moscow. Party leaders have already gathered in Moscow, and if Stalin had succumbed to persuasion and left the capital, he would have been immediately removed and capitalism would have come here much earlier ...

    The use of external power to achieve their narrowly party goals is present in the history of all states. Today, color revolutions are much cheaper.

    Very interesting stuff, thanks! I was especially surprised by the carelessness of Stalin's entourage when they set him up with the Katyushas. Didn't anyone know that half an hour after the work of these installations, this place will be a "lunar landscape"? And to expose the life of the leader of the state in this way, to put it mildly - is unreasonable!

    If everything was so conspicuous, then it is quite possible that they did not know simply. And they decided to just show Stalin how it is.

    It is high time to start telling the truth about Stalin and his loyal associates. For more than sixty years, Khrushchev's false version has dominated. It must be completely refuted.

    Thanks to the author, very interesting. I just wanted to add about Stalin's flights by plane. Yes, Stalin did not like to fly, but that does not mean that he was afraid. Many do not like to fly airplanes for a banal reason, they feel sick and sick. And the leader should not sit with a bag by his face. The planes of that time chattered so that half of the passengers went green after the flight. Who will love this state? But as we see the need arose and Stalin flew.
