How Khrushchev made "gifts" to the West and significantly worsened the military-strategic position of the USSR

N. Khrushchev distinguished himself not only because he dealt a mortal blow to the essence of the Soviet project, caused great damage to the Armed Forces of the USSR, the national economy and finance, but took the first strategic steps to "remove" the USSR-Russia from strategically important territories - on the Baltic Sea, Central Europe, in northeastern China (Port Arthur), on the assignment of the Kuriles. Khrushchev destroyed the good relations of the USSR with China, the DPRK and Albania. And in relations with the allies of the social bloc and the third world countries, which were drawn to Moscow, consumer relations were established, far from pragmatism. For the "friendship" of the USSR, he gave soft loans that could not be repaid, and in the end many of them were simply written off during the Russian Federation. Khrushchev armed allies, transferred military and industrial technologies; built factories, bridges, dams, hydroelectric power plants, etc .; helped in the development of advanced and breakthrough technologies (as the development of the nuclear industry in China); supplied with strategic materials and a variety of goods and equipment; helped in the development of science and education, etc.

Back in the period when Khrushchev did not have full power, he visited China in the fall of 1954 with Mikoyan and Bulganin. The outcome of the trip was the concession to China of all Soviet rights in Manchuria, the loss of Port Arthur and the Far. Stalin was also going to give Port Arthur to the Chinese, but in view of Beijing’s response. It was planned to create joint ventures. Now all the military bases, ports and railways built by Russian and Soviet hands were handed over immediately and unconditionally. Moreover, all previously created joint ventures were destroyed, their assets transferred to the exclusive ownership of China. In addition, Beijing has also received new large loans. The Soviet Union continued to create the industrial and scientific-technical base of China, and had no corresponding benefit from it.

Thus, Khrushchev surrendered those positions in northeastern China (Manchuria) without any pressure on the USSR from the United States, NATO, and China. At the same time, the US-NATO military bases continued to approach the Soviet borders. The then US presidents Truman, Eisenhower, commanders of the American troops in the Far East, McCourtour and Ridgeway recognized that it was the Soviet military presence in Manchuria that did not allow to crush North Korea and invade China (during the American occupation of Taiwan and the Korean war 1950-1953). These "gifts" to the West and China significantly worsened the military-strategic position of the Soviet Union in the Asia-Pacific region. The USSR withdrew from China, while American troops and bases in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan and the Philippines remained. This is not to mention the betrayal of thousands of Russian and Soviet soldiers who died and were wounded during the two wars with Japan.

Almost simultaneously, the Khrushchevites weakened the military-strategic positions of the USSR in the Baltic. This is the Finnish peninsula of Porkkalla-Udd, which is located near Helsinki, in the middle of the Gulf of Finland, opposite Tallinn and not far from Kronstadt. It was leased by Moscow in 1944 for a period of 50 years in accordance with agreements with Finland, confirmed in subsequent treaties and the Peace Treaty with Helsinki 1947-1948. The Soviet naval base was transferred to the area from the Hanko Peninsula, located at the junction of the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Bothnia, that is, west of Porkkalla-Udd. Hanko has been in a Soviet lease since mid-March 1940, and is known for its heroic defense during World War II.

Khrushchev surrendered this strategic position. 19 September 1955 in Moscow signed an agreement between the USSR and Finland on the refusal of the Soviet Union of the rights to use the territory of Porkkala-Udd for a naval base and the withdrawal of Soviet armed forces from this territory. The peninsula was given free of charge, without reciprocal concessions from Finland. The evacuation was carried out in great haste, as during the flight, the defenses were destroyed. The withdrawal of the Soviet troops and the transfer of the Finnish peninsula were completed in 1956. The withdrawal of the USSR from Porkkalla-Udd was accompanied by a sharp and long-term strengthening of the US military presence in Norway, including the Arctic Spitsbergen adjacent to the Murmansk region, and on the Baltic coast of Germany (while Germany joined NATO at the same time).

In the 1955 year, almost simultaneously with the creation of the Warsaw bloc, the Soviet Union concluded an agreement with the Western powers on the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Austria. This serious concession was also made without any reciprocal concessions from the Western powers, without an expression of readiness for compromise. On the contrary, during this period the West continued the course of confrontation. In 1954, the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) was established. At the initiative of the United States, a military-political bloc of countries in the Asia-Pacific region was created, which included Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Western powers that have possessions in the APR — the United States, Great Britain, and France. In 1955, the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) was established. The military-political grouping in the Middle East includes: Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. In addition, West Germany joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1955. Not so long ago, defeated Germany was recognized as a full ally of the Western powers and quickly armed.

And at this time, when the West was actively arming and lining up military-political groups in various regions of the world against the USSR and its allies Moscow unilaterally gave the most important strategic foothold in Central Europe - Austria. And the Austrians themselves were sympathetic to the Soviet people. Provocations and protests did not suit. There were no reasons for withdrawing troops from Austria - neither external nor internal.

We did not have time to digest these Khrushchev initiatives, as new ones appeared. In the spring of 1955, Khrushchev, Mikoyan and Bulganin visited Yugoslavia and restored the "friendship." They unilaterally apologized, the blame for the gap was completely laid on Moscow. The Soviet delegation yielded to Tito on all issues and agreed to considerable economic assistance, in which Yugoslavia, which was then in international isolation, was in dire need. In exchange, the Soviet Union, as in China, received nothing. In addition to assurances of "deep friendship" and "cooperation". The Stalinist foreign policy course, when Moscow firmly defended its interests and knew how to take its own, was forgotten. Belgrade has maintained its “special position”, without joining either the Warsaw Pact or the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. Yugoslavia preferred to conduct a “flexible policy”, benefiting both from cooperation with the Western powers and from the support of the Soviet Union.

In the summer of 1955, in Geneva, for the first time after Potsdam, a conference of great powers was held. It ended in complete failure. All proposals of the Moscow delegation on collective security, on the "German issue", the Western powers together and unequivocally shoals. However, in the USSR and abroad, the Geneva Conference was presented as the greatest success. They spoke about the possibility of peaceful coexistence, the cooperation of the spirit of systems, the continuation of negotiations, etc. Khrushchev, who represented Moscow, also received his share of fame. It should be noted that he, despite a number of his quirks, in the world created an image of a great statesman, a man fighting for peace and progress. Later, the same methodology will be applied to Gorbachev. The more Khrushchev and Gorbachev "broke firewood" inside the USSR and surrendered to the position of the Soviet state abroad, the more brilliance and attention they fell in the West.

Khrushchev continued to take the position of Moscow. In September, West German Chancellor Adenauer visited Moscow 1955. During this visit, Moscow recognized and established diplomatic relations with Germany. And again, unilaterally, without concessions from the Western powers. The Western world did not even think of recognizing the German Democratic Republic (GDR), which was under the influence of the USSR. The Western powers did not want to consider the Soviet proposals on West Berlin either. So, among the Soviet proposals, the idea was to give West Berlin the status of a free city. However, in favor of the "friend" Adenauer Khrushchev made concessions. A broad gesture of “good will” was made - the German prisoners still remaining in the Union were released and returned to Germany.

At the same time, they conducted a broad amnesty among collaborators (“Vlasovites”). It was under Khrushchev that the uninitiated Bandera (Ukrainian Nazis) returned to Ukraine-Little Russia. Many of them quickly "recoloured" and began to actively be introduced to leadership positions, passing their harmful and subversive ideology by inheritance, waiting for "better times."

In October 1955, Khrushchev made visits to India, Burma and Afghanistan. These states did not join the USSR, but they did not support the West, remaining neutral. However, they also received large loans for economic development. Only for one construction of a metallurgical complex in India 135 million dollars were allocated. A similar system will be installed with many other neutral or “friendly” states. It will develop after Khrushchev. As a result, it turned out that even neutrality was rewarded at the expense of the USSR. It is clear that Moscow has received versatile contacts in these countries and certain benefits. However, often huge amounts of money and the efforts of Soviet specialists were wasted. The resources that needed to be directed to internal development were simply thrown to the wind. Moscow produced parasites that believed that the USSR was obliged to support and help them.

In 1950-1960-ies. the old colonial system was falling apart. Western powers began to build a new system of control - through finance, economics, education, access to new technologies, culture, education of the "elites" of new states, etc. The era of neo-colonialism began. Moscow tried to pull new states to its side. Here Khrushchev launched unprecedented in its scale financing, support for regimes that were declared "friendly." It is clear that various African and Asian regimes willingly expressed "friendship" in order to get help from the USSR in the development of the economy, infrastructure, science, education and culture. However, future events have shown that in most cases, huge folk remedies flowed abroad in vain. For example, Egypt was assisted against the aggression of England, France and Israel, allocated a huge loan in the construction of the Aswan hydroelectric station. However, Egyptian President Nasser continued the "flexible" policy. A similar picture could be seen in Iraq.

Khrushchev created the “problem of smoking”. Under Stalin, it was obvious to everyone that the Kuril Islands belong to Russia-USSR. October 19 1956 in Moscow was signed the Soviet-Japanese declaration. In accordance with the Declaration, the state of war that existed between the USSR and Japan since 9 in August 1945 was terminated from the day the Declaration came into force; peace and good-neighborly relations were restored between the two states, the USSR and Japan agreed to restore diplomatic and consular relations, and agreed to continue negotiations on the conclusion of a peace treaty. The most important moment of the Declaration was the fate of Shikotan Island and the Habomai Islands: they were to be transferred to Japan after the signing of the peace treaty. Khrushchev wanted to "bribe" Japan so that it became a neutral state. However, under US pressure, Japan refused to sign a peace treaty, insisting on the transfer of the islands of Kunashir and Iturup. Thus, Khrushchev created the foundation for the requirements of Japan. And now the problem of the Kurils is one of the threats of Russia in the Far East.

It is worth noting that Khrushchev eliminated Victory Day over Japan, which was celebrated on September 3. In early August 1956, a "closed" order of the Central Committee Presidium on the "secret" cancellation of the celebration of Victory Day over Japan took place. As a result, in the USSR and later in the Russian Federation (there is no memorable date in the list of the Days of Russia's military glory in honor of the victory over Japan), they almost forgot and even became “ashamed” of the liberation of North Korea and a large part of China from Japan and restoration historical justice in South Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, CER and Far - Port Arthur. After all, this holiday reminded of the great empire of Stalin and its victories.

Nikita Sergeevich continued his activities to "defuse tensions". Summit meetings were held with the heads of the Western powers. In 1959, the first visit of the Soviet leader to the United States took place. Shine of American cities made a tremendous impression on Khrushchev's tradesman. The Secretary General visited Washington and Camp David, as well as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Des Moines and Ames. Khrushchev met with the president and vice-president of the United States - D. D. Eisenhower and R. M. Nixon, with the UN Secretary-General D. Hammarskjold, with the American governors and senators, with many journalists and trade union leaders. Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Khrushchev called for disarmament. Then the Paris Conference was convened, a meeting was held with the American President Kennedy in Vienna (4 June 1961 of the year). All these activities ended in nothing. The West lavished compliments on Khrushchev, but did not compromise, trying to impose his will on the USSR.

But Khrushchev continued to unilaterally take steps that were supposed to show the peacefulness of Moscow. Khrushchev agreed to the point that he proposed to carry out complete disarmament in the future, to disband the national armed forces, retaining only the police formations. In the future, Gorbachev will act in the same spirit. Only for some reason only the USSR will disarm. Western "partners" will pat on the shoulder, praise, while they themselves will continue the policy of covering their bases with the USSR-Russia.

Khrushchev imposed a moratorium on nuclear testing weapons and made a large-scale reduction of the Soviet armed forces - from 5,8 million to 2,5 million. And everything was done in a big way, for several years. The most experienced officers who went through the Great Patriotic War and the war with Japan were reduced by tens of thousands. Disbanded the compound schools. Under the knife, a number of important military technical developments were launched that could give the USSR the opportunity to be ahead of the whole world by 20-30 years. Cut new ships and aircraft. However, the West was in no hurry to support the initiative of Khrushchev. The North Atlantic Alliance did not reduce its armed forces, and the Western powers continued their nuclear tests.

Moscow under Khrushchev radically dispersed with Beijing. Mao Zedong was displeased with criticism of Stalin. In addition, he immediately felt the weakness of Khrushchev. The system “elder brother (USSR) - younger brother (China)” collapsed. The USSR and China have become competitors. Including the struggle for liberated countries from colonial oppression. As a result, the socialist system began to disintegrate. Naturally, only the West benefited from this.

Why Khrushchev surrendered the position of the USSR in the world?

First, the Khrushchevites did not want to continue the Stalin line to create an independent Soviet civilization, which would be an alternative to the Western project. They wanted to abandon the uncompromising confrontation and become part of the Western World Order. Later, Gorbachev and Yeltsin continued the same line - abandoning their project, socialism, surrendering major positions in the world, disarmament, an open market (financial and economic enslavement of Russia-USSR), etc. By unilateral surrender of the positions of the USSR Khrushchevites (Gorbachevites, Russian liberals ) showed that we are supposedly “ours”.

Secondly, the West, as it is now, was able to promise the "golden mountains". Khrushchev and his supporters were promised "gingerbread and cookies." After Stalin’s departure (murder), the leadership of the United States and England made it clear to the “post-Stalinist” leadership: the capitalist countries want long-term cooperation with the new leadership of the USSR and the CPSU that the Soviet interests in the world will not suffer. But for this, it is necessary to “moderate” the commitment to Stalin and Stalin’s policies, as well as to weaken the Soviet military presence in the Baltic, Central Europe and the Far East. In response, the West will lift various sanctions from the Soviet Union, which will accelerate its economic development. In confirmation of this, the West loosened such sanctions in May 1953 of the year, and in June of the same year refused to help the anti-Soviet forces in the GDR that provoked unrest there.

In the future, the West took a few more steps to meet: in the autumn of 1954, new commercial credit lines were opened for the USSR in the member countries of NATO, Australia and New Zealand; in 1954-1955 the aggression of France against the USSR-friendly North Vietnam ceased; guaranteed neutrality of Austria (which prompted the USSR to withdraw its troops from the eastern part of this country); USSR reparation payments were resumed by the Federal Republic of Germany (they began in 1946 and were interrupted in 1949-1953); 1955 of the year went into the growth of supplies to the Soviet Union of various Western equipment at low prices (the USSR was implanted in the import of Western technologies and equipment.

Obviously, the concessions of the West were secondary, they were easy to roll. In addition, the dependence of the USSR on the West increased. The USSR, on the other hand, was losing military strategic positions, economic opportunities, and so on. What a very high price was paid for, which cannot be quickly restored.

Thirdly, the weakness of Khrushchev’s personality, his petty-bourgeois psychology. He was flattering, the western "partners" patted him on the shoulder, praised him, covered his "peacekeeping" activities in the world media, invited him, treated him.

Fourth, the “anti-Stalinist” predisposition of Khrushchev and many of his colleagues was felt. Pygmies seized upon the throne after the departure of the great leader.

              It was while Stalin was there that the whites could not take Tsaritsyn. When, as a result of Trotsky's intrigues, Stalin was recalled from Tsaritsyn to Moscow and he finally stopped "interfering" with military experts, the city was surrendered by the "true leaders of the defense". laughing

                And let it be known to you, it was not the "mythical Reds" or "Comrade Stalin" who won the civil war, but quite specific people, namely Trotsky as the head of the Red Army and one of the founders of the USSR and "interfering" military experts in Trotsky's service - and in In the context of all this, Trotsky's derogatory statements about Stalin in "Citizen" more than adequately characterize his real merits in that period as a would-be commander.
                But Stalin needed Lenin there to repress grain, he knew how to repress, he started with banks - he just stuck his nose in a place where he didn’t understand anything and for that received from that very nose from Trotsky.

                  But Trotsky knew how to make a sound and insult, and I couldn’t argue. He could also hurt the Caucasian. Therefore, the Lehrub saw him too. But he didn’t beg Trotsky’s merits in the Civil War either. He drove well to the soldiers and the organizer was sensible. Stalin

                        It is strange that elementary logic is not available to you - the fact that "Stalin's nominees" received marshals in 1935 does not mean that they were the best candidates for these stars both in the civilian world and in the post-war years fool
                        How deservedly they received these stars was more than colorfully shown by the activities of these "commanders" during the Great Patriotic War.

                        Secondly, no one disputes their significant contribution to the victory in the Civil War, and they received the Marshall stars deservedly, they do not argue with this even now
                        Thirdly, what can you say bad about their activities in the Second World War? Of the five, three were already in the grave by 1941, only the two remaining can be discussed.
                        Voroshilov did not let the Germans immediately take Leningrad. Not so hot any commander, but there was nothing flawlessly colorful
                        Budyonny brilliantly versed the situation, not a single unit under his command ever got into the boiler. Commanding the Southwestern Front skillfully fought defensive battles and was shot not for military disasters, but for demanding to leave Kiev and save the army. As a result, Budyonny was removed and received largest boiler.

                I explain a brief chronology.
                A man stood (Tsaritsin) and drank vodka (Stalin) then drank it up (Stalin left) and went home but fell (at the feet of the whites) - there was no bottle at the time of the fall (Stalin no longer led in Tsaritsin), respectively CONCLUSION - if the man fell without a bottle in his hands, then the reason for the fall is not in vodka (not in the early politics of Stalin)!
                Well, supporters think that Stalin "did not interfere with the military experts, but led" - but the chief narcologist (Trotsky) cannot be fooled fellow

It seems like there were no other republics, and the USSR consisted of one Russia.

        Exactly the opposite. Stalin ruined the defense of Tsaritsin and was
        recalled by Lenin to Moscow. Without him, the affairs of the military experts, whom Stalin interfered with,
        began to improve.

        Recall that in the 20th century, no one left the interests of his country so zealously,
        how Hitler defended his interests - Germany. Even a capacious slogan came up with:
        "Germany above all!".

              Have a conscience. Stalin 2 times raised the country from ruins. First time after the civil war. The second after the most terrible war in the history of mankind, namely the Second World War. And yes, he also won the Second World War. Times were hard, but cards for a minute in the USSR were canceled earlier than in England. So learn the materiel and do not fool the forum users with a head.

                    And the fact that Japan did not reach the US coast, and Hitler reached Moscow was a consequence of the exclusively mediocrity of the Soviet command and the terrible combat training of the Soviet troops at the beginning of the war.

                At the same time, the economy itself was initially militaristic - if we take the per capita indicators of the same agricultural sector or light industry or (God forbid!) SERVICES, then by these indicators we probably lagged behind all possible capitalist countries at that time!

And it is not necessary, as you are very fond of comparing warm with soft. I did not say anything about the fleet, but the land army was really the strongest.

          National interests of the USSR? Officially, "before the victory of the revolution in Germany" the USSR was an intermediate product and resource of the "world revolution." The official ideology of the USSR is communism, not nationalism. That is why the actions of all post-Stalinist leaders should be analyzed for compliance with official ideology, and not "national interests." Based on the result, the "world revolution" turned out to be the initial capitalist accumulation and industrialization of countries that became markets for TNCs.
          In the modern world, national interests no longer exist. Only TNCs, that is, world capital, have interests.

      Igor, on the topic "Explain why this Georgian is so loved" you can argue a lot.
      Think for yourself, at least a little. Which country or rather, in what condition was it when Stalin came to power and what it was after him, and what the subsequent leaders did. In Soviet times, there was such a joke -
      People decided to build a train. the path to communism, well, they decided it means they did it, and now the train went, it goes, it goes, bam the driver looks at the rails over - what should I do? He drops into the carriage to the main and reports - Vladimir Ilyich the rails are over, what to do. He answers - Urgently organize a subbotnik, attract especially ideological party members and continue the path. Okay, the train went on. But the rails are over again, what should I do? Again, the driver jumps into the carriage to the main and reports - Iosiv Vissarionych the rails have finished what to do. He gives the command, the perpetrators to be shot, those who disagree on the nightingales, but the path continues. Let's go, the rails are over again, the report is again - Nikita Sergeevich what to do, that one - Close the cooperatives, sow corn, plow virgin soil, but continue on the path. Okay, the train seemed to go. But again the rails were over, again the report - Leonid Ilyich what to do, the answer - How do you close the windows and swing the car.

Suffice it to recall such giants as ministers Gromyko, Kosygin, People's Commissar for Education Potemkin Vladimir Petrovich, and Stalin's textbooks, according to my information, are especially appreciated in Israel. By the way, even in the city formed in 1977 Kiryas-Joel, it is 100 km from New York and founded by the Satmar Hasidim, there is an exclusively separate teaching of boys and girls, this was also proposed by V.P. Potemkin.In contrast to the Stalinist People's Commissars, it is enough to name one surname of Minister Kozyrev under Yeltsin to even slightly compare the level So your assumption about Great Leaders is absolutely opposite to practice and can be easily attributed to either disinformation or simply chutzpah.

    But, frankly lying in the article and distorting the facts, ugly!
    In any international union, sit "suzerain" and "vassals". Naturally, the vassals need to be fed. By the way, as a result of such feeding, both Indians and Afghans still remember the USSR with fondness.
    All decisions were made in a specific historical, military-political and economic environment. This must be remembered, and not nostalgic for the failed victory of world socialism at the cost of tens of millions more lives of our citizens.
    Our bases are in China and Finland. They were on lease. Just in case, one had to pay for them, and keep military contingents. And the camp was only recovering from the Second World War. Troops from Austria withdrew under the guarantee of non-aligned and neutral status of the state. In 1954 - 1955, prisoners of war were returned not only to Germany, but also to the GDR! Not a word about that. I had a friend Erich Mainik. Until 1954, he was in captivity (he served in the combat units of the SS) worked in the mines of Donbass. And after returning 25 years he served in the police of the GDR. These former prisoners of war formed the backbone of the NNA and the GDR police.
    There were no American bases on Svalbard. According to the 1920 agreement, the year is a demilitarized zone. Again a lie.

            Well, so until the mid-60s there were no problems with buying a car in the USSR (excluding the Volga), this is the year since the 65th there have been lines.
            Hmm, I really didn’t understand your idea of ​​the availability of Skoda for a Soviet citizen, why was it needed? The car is rubbish (this is also confirmed by the fact that the majority of Skoda used as ambulances disappeared almost instantly, leaving no trace in the memory.)

My father was among them, but he had 25 years of service and retired, which after some time (at the request of the workers) was cut from 80% of salary to 50%, and if got a job, then the salary and pension should not exceed the amount received in the army.

    It is not necessary to exclude, but it is not necessary to exaggerate the role of Khrushchev, the 20th Congress, etc. in the aggravation of relations with the PRC. After all, whatever you say, the policy of the "Great Leap Forward" and then (already during the reign of Brezhnev in the USSR) the "Cultural Revolution" were largely adventures, which after 1979 was recognized by the leadership of the CPC. And a number of actions of the PRC on the world stage in the late 50s-60s. were really provocative, adventurous. If Khrushchev's opponents, Stalinists like Molotov, were in power, they would still be forced to criticize China's domestic and foreign policies of that period.
    Why do we have many illusions about the attitude of the Chinese leadership towards Stalin? In fact, in the PRC already under Mao, the official position was "Stalin was 70% right, 30% wrong." And, criticizing Khrushchev, and then Brezhnev, including for denigrating Stalin's memory, the Chinese, nevertheless, spoke a lot and openly about Stalin's mistakes both in domestic and foreign policy. In particular, the policy of the USSR in Xinjiang in the 30-40s. considered wrong. And the PRC never seriously believed in the fact that Bukharin, Rykov, Radek, Trotsky, and a number of figures repressed in the 30s were agents of imperialism and foreign intelligence services.
    Only Albanian Hojaists were absolutely positive towards Stalin and Stalinism. However, even Khoja in his memoirs noted that some negative aspects in the USSR were noted already in the last years of Stalin's life. In particular, he noted that a number of Stalin's comrades-in-arms, such as Malenkov, Mikoyan and a number of others, lived in luxury, behaved like capricious barges, and representatives of small countries were treated with a feeling of neglected superiority. Of Stalin's associates, he positively evaluated only Molotov. But, as you know, Molotov himself already in the early 50's. He was not among the closest proxies of Stalin. And although Khoja does not directly blame Stalin, he nonetheless hints that the bourgeoisie of the Soviet elite and the separation from the common people were noticeable in the last years of Stalin's life.
    In general, Maoism and Stalinism are largely different directions in the communist movement. Both the "policy of the great leap forward" and the "cultural revolution" did not fit not only into the Khrushchev-Brezhnev, but also into the Stalinist schemes. And the PRC's domestic and foreign policy was largely determined by the alignment of forces in the CPC leadership. And neither Stalin (at least since the 40s), nor Khrushchev, nor Brezhnev could really influence the position of the CPC leadership. Mao and his supporters completely controlled the army, the state apparatus and would not tolerate any external influence on them. Even those Chinese communists who condemned some of Mao's actions, nevertheless, with all due respect to the merits of the CPSU (B) -KPSU and the experience of building socialism in the USSR, to the Soviet people, were not going to become "younger brothers", satellites of the USSR on the model of the countries Of Eastern Europe.

    The article is ambiguous, I would say it is biased ...

    By no means do I want to skaz otom that Nikita is white and fluffy ...
    Moreover, my childhood passed during his reign, and I already do not eat corn (I still do not eat in any form) and the so-called "Trans-Baikal bread" for 16 kopecks, which we boys called "crying plasticine" (squeeze - and some moisture comes out, and the form from compression also remains), given out, though not by cards, but (!!!) by lists for a family (I don't remember how much per person) - and this is in the Kuban, always called the granary Russia - I still remember ...

    But the conversation is not about that ...

    It is not for nothing that Ernst sculpted the monument in the form of two halves - black and white ...

    "Disrupting" the army, and specifically, first of all, the aviation and the navy (they cut practically new planes and ships), he destroyed them for the sake of the development of space and future Strategic Missile Forces ... But he could, due to the squalor of his mind (as a slave and the clown, and remained) and cover up programs for the development of space research, as well as the development of thermonuclear weapons ...

    Which of our rulers openly threatened the whole world with Kuzkin’s mother ??? This required either courage, or, excuse me, great nonsense ... However, it was necessary to the place and to the advantage ...

    Yes, it brought a lot of harm ...

    However, in the continuation of his commentary on the article - why was Andropov and Chernenko still toppled into one pile ???

    Andropov, most likely, would be able to restore order in the country ... However, he rules - I don’t remember already - a year or a year and a half, and then for the most part being in a hospital bed ... By the way, there are a lot of rumors about the causes of his illness and death but precisely rumors ...

    Chernenko ??? Yes, the patient Konstantin Ustinich, to whom a legal counsel-psychiatrist-therapist could easily rivet incapacity, and who was taken by the presidium’s table by his arm was appointed by the gray cardinals from the Politburo, who wanted to lead the country behind him with his name ... A sick man old ...

    Brezhnev ... "Stagnation, swamp" ... And I will say this: his years (supposedly his - after all, the rule of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee), we, the Soviet people, although we lived poorly and uncleanly, but these were the best years from the modern history of the USSR ...

    Correctly, someone up there, in the comments, said: this is our country, this is our history, and they need to be treated with respect, and not fill up with shit ...

    PS Although I repeat: Nikita (and not only him, but also his descendants) brought much less good to the good people of the USSR than bad ...

My grandfather told me that a convinced communist could sit down on an anonymous denunciation from a neighbor. The communists in the Gulag quickly "broke down" when they were imprisoned by the government, of which they were supporters.

    In the defeat of the White forces, Stalin played an extremely important role. At his suggestion, the red forces were rearranged secretly. In the most threatening direction, in the Sadovaya area, he proposed to deliver the main blow.
    The overwhelming superiority of the artillery and military potential of Tsaritsyn’s defenders was ensured on this sector of the front. The unexpected powerful fire of artillery batteries concentrated on a narrow section of the front stunned the whites.
    Immediately, armored cars and trucks with machine guns were introduced into the battle, cavalry rushed. Armored trains fired at the quivering and retreating enemy.
    The defenders of Tsaritsyn repulsed the onslaught of the second enemy encirclement.
    On these busy days of Tsaritsyn’s defense on October 3, Stalin and Voroshilov sent a telegram to Lenin demanding that the Central Committee discuss the issue of Trotsky’s actions threatening the collapse of the Southern Front.
    On October 6, Stalin again went to Moscow, on October 8, by a decision of the Council of People's Commissars, Stalin was appointed a member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, and on October 11 he returned from Moscow to Tsaritsyn.
    In the confrontation with Trotsky, Stalin did not lose. His authority as one of the leaders of the Bolshevik party and the Soviet state not only strengthened, but also increased significantly.
    On October 18, 1918, Stalin telegraphed to Lenin about the rout of the Krasnov troops near Tsaritsyn. On October 19, Stalin left Tsaritsyn for Moscow, where new affairs of great state importance awaited him.
    On October 24, 1918, Stalin sent a greeting to the defenders of Tsaritsyn. Addressing Voroshilov, Stalin wrote:
    “Tell them that Soviet Russia will never forget their heroic deeds and reward them deservedly. Long live the brave troops of the Tsaritsyn Front! ”
    In November, the troops of the Tsaritsyn Front went on the offensive and threw the enemy away from the city.
    In 1918, the Red Tsaritsyn survived.
    “The heroic epic of Tsaritsyn’s defense thwarted White’s plans to break through to Moscow”
    The operations of the troops of the Tsaritsyn Front, developed and carried out under the leadership of Stalin, were a valuable contribution to the military art of the Red Army.
    There are many positive assessments of the activities of Stalin during the defense of Tsaritsyn in 1918. Among them, the opinions expressed by one of Stalin's ardent opponents F.F.Raskolnikov, who met with Stalin in the summer of 1918, cannot but arouse undoubted interest:
    "Stalin was everything in Tsaritsyn: authorized by the Central Committee, member of the Revolutionary Military Council, leader of party and Soviet work ... He, as always, resolved all issues collectively, in close contact with local institutions, which impressed him and further strengthened his unquestioned authority"
    Stalin's stay in Tsaritsyn in 1918 was not just an episode of the severe class struggle, but laid the foundations for comprehending the secrets of the turbulent economic, military and international politics.

    Khrushchev is an uneducated mediocrity in intellect, a narcissistic tyrant with initiative in character, and a disguised svidomo in ideology! Our misfortune is that the long-established and still existing national system, so to speak, of training and promotion of personnel to leading positions up to the head of the country allows such OUTSTANDING personalities to come to power even at the highest level, and after his departure, there is nothing left to count. the fruits of his "ACHIEVEMENTS"!

    If it were not for the revolution of 1917, Russia would continue to expand, and there would be no problems either in the Baltic, or in central Europe, or by the way with Turkey (due to the absence of that very Turkey), or in the Far East.
    It seems to me that in the very depths the retreat began not in 1953, but in 1917, when the Russian people changed their beliefs from Orthodoxy to false communist ones. Comrade Lenin was convinced that "Russia is a prison of peoples", and he drew these boundaries of the union republics, on which then the USSR collapsed.
