Happy birthday Comrade Stalin!
Happy birthday Comrade Rokossovsky!

With regard to Stalin, it can be noted that in 2022, interest in Stalin's activities in matters of ensuring the sovereignty, protection and security of the state and self-reliant development has grown significantly. And it will obviously grow.

Busts of Stalin, Zhukov and Vasilevsky to be erected in Volgograd
January 28, 12:34

Another monument to Stalin will appear in Russia. On the 80th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops near Stalingrad, 3 busts will be installed in Volgograd - Stalin, Zhukov and Vasilevsky. The busts have already been made, they will open in February.

Busts of Stalin, Zhukov and Vasilevsky to be erected in Volgograd

On the day of the 80th anniversary of the Stalingrad Victory, three monuments will be opened in Volgograd. These are the busts of Generalissimo Joseph Stalin, marshals Georgy Zhukov and Alexander Vasilevsky.
The Generalissimo and the marshals who forged the victory are legendary historical figures. The panorama museum will have a whole line of great Soviet commanders who played a significant role in the history of the Battle of Stalingrad and the entire Great Patriotic War.

The famous sculptor, Honored Artist of Russia Sergey Shcherbakov became the author of three new monuments. The master began work in October last year.

The author was faced with the task of creating ceremonial portraits. Insignia, epaulettes, orders - the busts will bear the awards of military leaders. Zhukov has four stars of the Hero of the Soviet Union, Vasilevsky has two. Stalin wore his star of the Hero of the Soviet Union second only to the star of the Hero of Labor. The artist had the only photo where the head of the country is depicted in full dress. She became the prototype of the sketch. To create a bust of Marshal Vasilevsky, the sculptor even had the opportunity to use his family archive.

The master's track record includes more than 40 different busts. The sculptures of Stalin, Zhukov and Vasilevsky were made by the master for the first time. I did not make pencil sketches, I sculpted right away. A plaster bust for the sculptor is a sketch.

"The portrait is molded by hand from clay. Then it is molded in pieces in plaster, unmolded, cast and taken to the plant, where the model is already cast in bronze," says Sergei Shcherbakov.

The difficulty of the artist was in observing the portrait likeness. Although in the creation of a bust a monumental convention is allowed in the depiction of small details - wrinkles, structural features of the face - the perception of the sculpture turns out to be more integral. The artist is sure that Stalingrad is a symbol of the unbending will of our people. The idea of ​​returning the historical name to the city is treated with respect.

The busts have already been cast at the plant in Zhukovsky. The artist is in touch with the masters.

Soon the monuments will be delivered to Volgograd and will take their place where the defenders of Stalingrad stood to death 80 years ago,

https://smotrim.ru/article/3160226 - zinc

As I have been writing since the noughties, the installation of monuments to Stalin in Russia is historically inevitable.
In this case, more than deserved, since Stalin played an important role in directing the operations that led to the defeat of the Wehrmacht near Stalingrad. As well as Zhukov and Vasilevsky.

PS. There is already one monument to Stalin in Volgograd. In 2019, a bust of Stalin was erected on the territory of the local city committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

2 carnations for Comrade Stalin 2023

2 carnations for Comrade Stalin 2023

On March 05, 2023, in memory of the seventieth anniversary of his death, a traditional flower laying ceremony will take place at the grave of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin near the Kremlin wall in Moscow.

Integrity and respect for history is important for any country and people who do not want to perish and dissolve in time. The history of our country is many centuries long, during which there were not only high-profile victories and grandiose accomplishments, there were also failures and failures. However, the fabric of history is inseparable, all these years and decades have been watered with the sweat and blood of our ancestors, overshadowed by tireless work to build and strengthen the state.
None of the historical periods can be deleted from the public memory and discarded as harmful and unnecessary. Especially if we are talking about the period of unprecedented rise and power of Russia - the period when for the first time in its history for a long time it became one of the two leading powers of the world - the period of the Stalinist USSR, inextricably linked with the figure of I.V. Stalin himself.

On March 05, 2023, in memory of the seventieth anniversary of his death, we call on everyone to honor the memory of the Leader personally by laying flowers at his grave near the Kremlin wall in Moscow and in memorable places in other cities of the USSR.

Some will ask why? Iosif Vissarionovich has long been dead, there is no party created and led by him, there has been no country for almost a quarter of a century, of which he was the head. These are all things of bygone days. Now there is a different country, different challenges, a different reality.

We are going to lay scarlet carnations because Stalin is our national leader. How do such personalities differ from historical figures, from scientists, generals, engineers, artists and writers?

We remember the latter for great achievements, military or peaceful exploits. We honor them for what they have done personally. The result of their deeds - here it is, next to us - a scientific discovery, victory in battle, an immortal book or picture, or a heroic deed forever inscribed in the History of our Motherland.

The memory of national leaders is somewhat different. We honor and honor them not so much for their personal achievements, but for the heights and victories that we ourselves, the people and the country, have achieved under their leadership.

Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Ivan III, Peter I - all of them forced the Russian people not only to respond to the challenge of the times, they forced them to mobilize and defend their right to independence. And even among them, the personality of I.V. Stalin stands out sharply.
It stands out for the achievements that we, the Russian people (in alliance with the other peoples of the USSR) have achieved in all areas of human development.

Under Stalin, the USSR developed at a pace unattainable for the world, in just 20 years making an unprecedented breakthrough in history, which made it possible to defeat the fascist reptile, which gathered under its banner the economic and military potential of almost all of Europe. Under Stalin, the foundation was laid for our nuclear missile shield and a breakthrough into space. Under Stalin, the cult of knowledge and labor forced us to strive into science and make world discoveries and breakthroughs. Under Stalin, just two years after the war, cards were abolished and prices began to drop annually. Under Stalin, our country and our people enjoyed worldwide recognition and respect.
It was under Stalin, on the ruins of the Reichstag, that we showed the whole world who the real supermen are!

Therefore, his memory is so dear to us and we call on everyone on March 05, 2023 to come and honor the great man by placing two scarlet carnations at the leader’s grave or other places in your area associated with his name.

The action "Two Carnations for Comrade Stalin" will be held for the 26th time on the private initiative of a group of comrades.

The purpose of the action is to honor the memory of the Leader on 03/05/2023 by laying flowers at his grave on Red Square in Moscow. Everyone can take part independently and as part of our group.

For our comrades living outside the Moscow region and not having the opportunity to take part in person - to provide a voluntary fundraiser for the purchase of flowers, the purchase of flowers and their laying in Moscow on their behalf on Red Square at the grave of Comrade Stalin on 03/05/2023.

The event must be coordinated with the authorities.

Requisites
Sberbank card: 5336 6901 3535 0538
As of February 28, 2023,
10,500 rubles were collected.

Fundraising will be terminated on 03/04/2021

On the benefits of Stalin's industrialization

Image

I looked today at the shopping mall "Zvezda", where they discussed the role of Stalin's industrialization.
The main message is a vital thing (today, by the way, too), Stalin was completely right with her. The excesses of collectivization are understandable and explainable. With an inner smile, he recalled the year 2005, when he was just starting to write on the network on the topic of the Stalin era, and the off-scale numbers in the polls about Stalin were still ahead. If desired, one could feel like a white crow.
And now these things are clearly and easily spoken on the central federal system. Another reminder of how our society has changed over the past 20 years.

“Stalin is all of us, and no one individually”
March 5, 9:18 am

“Stalin is all of us, and no one individually”

Tomorrow (or rather today) is the 70th anniversary of the death of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, about which a significant part of bloggers and journalists will definitely speak out, one way or another, positively or negatively. Maybe I'll speak up too.

The fact is that in Karelia I am often called a “Stalinist”, especially after the publication of my book about Sandarmokh. I remember that at its presentation, one journalist who fled to Norway after the start of the SVO asked: “Tell me, are you a Stalinist?” It seemed to him that this question was with some kind of cunning overtones, they say, I now have to confess to something bad. Prior to this, a still young, but already reeking of mothballs from the 90s, a person clearly did not realize that if more than half of Russians positively assess the role of Stalin in our history, then there is nothing wrong with this word ... Well, okay.

Image
The results of one of the opinion polls. From open sources.

Although I do remember those times when a few kind words in defense of Stalin, spoken publicly, automatically brought a person into the number of "outcasts." When Zyuganov, in an interview with the media, said phrases like “We officially recorded in our documents that there was a congress that condemned the 20th congress, that we agree with it. That we vow not to repeat and that we must move forward.” Why is there Zyuganov, earlier even Nina Andreeva in her famous article, just in case, had to make a reservation: “I will immediately note that neither I nor my family members have anything to do with Stalin, his entourage, close associates, exalters.”

Now the picture is completely different. In the name of Stalin, pro-government propagandists, even deputies from United Russia, hide behind. And how many self-proclaimed gurus on the Internet, under the guise of the name of Joseph Vissarionovich, are carrying nonsense and nonsense!

So, in the understanding of the latter, I am definitely not a Stalinist. Because I do not consider Joseph Vissarionovich a celestial who cannot be criticized, nor a super-computer who could not make mistakes. Moreover, from the point of view of Marxism, it should be perfectly clear that all the achievements of that era, as well as failures, cannot be attributed exclusively to him. I already wrote that the whole history of that time was created not by the “totalitarian” leadership, but by millions of active people. Very often illiterate, with their own ideas about how to do it right, with their own interests, often selfish or even selfish. Many of them went through more than one war and were afraid of little. And all this - on the territory of the former peripheral empire, the multinational Empire.

On this path, there could not be "jambs"! And the Stalin era itself was not a paradise on earth. Read the newspapers of that time, there is so much criticism and self-criticism ...

However, this not only does not detract from the achievements of Stalin and the entire Bolshevik Party, but rather emphasizes them. To create a superpower on such a base, under such conditions, is something really fantastic. The country made an unprecedented leap forward in all respects - in social, economic, cultural ... Moreover, this success was so stunning and obvious to the then inhabitants of the entire planet that Russia became an example for many peoples. They just forgot about it now.

At the head of this process was one person, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. So much has already been said about him that I will not repeat myself. Except for one thesis - he, like any person, could make mistakes and had the right to make mistakes. And his actions as a politician could not in all cases look ideal from the point of view of abstract morality and abstract humanism. Also, I will not focus on ideology, on the fact that for all leftists and communists there is simply no other experience of socialist construction, except for the seventy-year path of the Soviet Union. And the left idea can only be developed on the basis of his heritage, of colossal social progress, the significance of which is only becoming clear now. I think this is understandable.

I will dwell on only one aspect of my "Stalinism". And for his understanding, I will retell an episode of one modern film about Stalin's son Yakov Dzhugashvili. The actors could have played him better, but that doesn't matter now. War. 1941, a dialogue somewhere in a trench:

- I'm not Stalin, I'm Dzhugashvili ... And in general, my father once told me that even he was not Stalin!

- How is he not Stalin? Who is Stalin then?

- Stalin is people's faith in a just person. So my father once told me ... Stalin is and no one individually, as you don’t understand, it’s all of us, and no one individually ... -

You are talking wisely, comrade senior lieutenant ...

It seems to me that in this episode, which repeats the well-known apocryphal story about the son of Vasily and the portrait, the essence is captured quite correctly. And for me, the historical defense of Stalin is the defense not only of him personally, but of millions of people who lived in that era, including my own ancestors. Who honestly worked, fought, raised children and built a new life. Because they believed. And enjoy that life!

And then some deceitful and thieving scumbags decided to declare this entire era "criminal", and, accordingly, their "accomplices".

Of course, they will immediately remind you of repressions. Yes, they were, and there were innocent ones too. But let me remind you the conclusion made by Viktor Zemskov: “97.5% of the population of the USSR under Stalin was not subjected to political repression in any form.” At the same time, the scientist considered a broad interpretation of the concept of "repressed", including in it the deported, dispossessed, subjected to "purges" for social reasons, etc. That is, the dispossessed Yeltsin family is included in these statistics, although its head later was a petty boss, and his son entered the Polytechnic Institute. Instead of twisting the tails of their own cows.

I already wrote that many people believe that their ancestors were "dispossessed" only because they voluntarily or not really had to join the collective farm. Although, what has changed from this in their lives? At first they both worked and continued to engage in peasant labor. (More details - ABOUT ZULEIKHA, DEKULAKIZATION AND THREE COWS).

Thanks to collectivization, many millions of Russian people abandoned the hard and hopeless village life. It is a pity that there are no statistics at hand on how many people from the people, from workers and peasants, having received a secondary and higher education, have become engineers, doctors, teachers, technicians, professors, officers, officials, scientists. Yes, and in the countryside, young people became mechanics, agronomists, worked in clubs, medical centers, machine and tractor stations. The new life was much more interesting than the old one.

My family in the early 1920s was a family of poor Karelian peasants. In 1953, the social status of its members was described by the words: electrical technician, officer, teacher, accountant. By the way, there were two teachers.

But if an order of magnitude more people won, then why should we look at the history of the Stalin era solely from the point of view of a few percent of the population? And most importantly, why is this point of view being imposed on us with totalitarian persistence?

True, it turned out that many children of these people who took place under Stalin looked at the world with different eyes, they had different criteria. They wanted to become "their nobility". Therefore, in the late 80s, contempt for the "ball" was imposed on many of them. But the “Sharikovs” or “Lenin's cooks” were for the most part their own grandparents. (More details: HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOK! WHAT? LENINSKAYA!). However, anti-Stalinist propaganda went further. In the book about Sandarmokh, I wrote that in many discussions about the events of the 1920s and 30s, the simple idea is put into the minds of people that in those years the very “best” were repressed. Consequently, the “worst” remained to live. An excellent example of this approach is the popular, in a certain environment, rhyme of a certain citizen Kokhanovsky:

First they beat the most well-born,

Then the most hard-working people were shot,

Then the rows of senselessly killed

rose from the thousands of the most silent ones.

Among the latter are all intellectuals,

Guardians of dignity and honor...

Maybe someone does not understand, but it is directly stated here that all your ancestors, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, if they were not shot under Stalin, are not hard-working intellectuals, but simply silent lazy, in addition, without dignity and honor. Of course - not well-born, just some kind of cattle.

And these miserable verses that offend the vast majority of our people are gaining thousands of likes on social networks! Approximately the same is stated by the writer Lyudmila Ulitskaya: “The white army left Russia in the twentieth year ... The most educated, most honest, unwilling to compromise with the Bolshevik government ... People leave and take their genes with them. They are withdrawn from the gene pool ... And what qualities contributed to survival? Caution. Stealth. The capacity for hypocrisy. moral flexibility. Lack of self-esteem. In general, any bright quality made a person noticeable and immediately put him under attack. The gray, average, three-year-old, so to speak, found himself in an advantageous position ... And now, taking into account all these factors, it is possible to build a map of the gene pool of the Soviet people that have a place to be.

But there are enough such comments about the “spoiled gene pool”! Although the use of the words "gene pool" in relation to society, the explanation of everything by some "genes" is a fairly accurate marker of fascist views. Since the Enlightenment, normal people have a different view of the essence of man. After all, no one can change their genes. And what to do with the people whose "genes are spoiled"? The answer is known. That is, here, in the face of anti-Stalinism, we are dealing with ordinary fascism. liberal fascism.

Therefore, for me, to be a "Stalinist" is to be against fascism in any form. To be a "Stalinist" is to respect the history of one's country and its great achievements. To be a "Stalinist" is to honor the memory of your ancestors and not betray it. Something like that.

Cheer up in Stalin's style
March 23, 13:21

Image

Medvedev-2010 - "But in no case can we say that Stalinism is returning to our everyday life, that we are returning symbols, that we are going to use some kind of posters, do something else. This is not and will not be"

Medvedev -2023 - "I recently read the telegrams of the Supreme Commander Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin on issues of the military-industrial complex ... I want to read these telegrams to the directors of our factories to cheer up"

The truth of life lies in the fact that in the foreseeable historical retrospective for successful actions in an emergency situation, we have no other and better historical landmark than Comrade Stalin.

Which of course does not mean that we are talking about copying the system that existed under Stalin. Just a reliance on the successful experience of the past. In this case, management.

Poll about the return of Stalingrad
March 27, 12:50 p.m

Image

In Volgograd, at the suggestion of veteran organizations, https://ria.ru/20230327/volgograd-1860858445.html was launched a city survey on renaming Volgograd to Stalingrad.
The survey should show the real mood of city residents on this issue. The survey itself is advisory in nature.
It will be held within a week. The results will be presented next weekend.

He has already expressed his point of view on this matter several times.
On the next Single Voting Day in Volgograd, in addition to regular ballots, residents of the city will receive another sheet of paper, where it is proposed to tick off one of three points:

1. Stalingrad
2. Volgograd
3. Tsaritsyn

This will save time and money, and will also be as democratic as possible .
Personally, my point of view is that the return of Stalingrad is good.

Lenin's birthday
April 22, 11:33

Image

No whining or arrogance.

No whimper

The second time I met Lenin was in 1906 at the Stockholm Congress of 21 of our parties. It is known that at this congress the Bolsheviks remained in the minority and were defeated. For the first time I saw Lenin in the role of the vanquished. He was not one iota like those leaders who whimper and despond after defeat. On the contrary, the defeat turned Lenin into a bundle of energy, inspiring his supporters to new battles, to a future victory. I'm talking about the defeat of Lenin. But what was that defeat? One should have looked at Lenin's opponents, the rulers at the Stockholm Congress - Plekhanov, Axelrod, Martov and others: they looked very little like real victors, for Lenin, in his merciless criticism of Menshevism, left no living place for them, as they say. I remember how we Bolshevik delegates, huddled together, looked at Lenin, asking him for advice. In the speeches of some delegates, weariness and despondency were visible. I remember how Lenin, in response to such speeches, gritted caustically through his teeth: "Do not whine, comrades, we will surely win, for we are right." Hatred for whimpering intellectuals, faith in one's own strength, faith in victory - that's what Lenin spoke to us about then. It was felt that the defeat of the Bolsheviks was temporary, that the Bolsheviks must win in the near future.

"Do not whimper on the occasion of defeat" - this is the very feature in the activities of Lenin, which helped him to rally around him an army loyal to the end and believing in its own strength.

Without arrogance

At the next congress, in 1907, in London, the Bolsheviks were victorious. For the first time I saw Lenin in the role of a winner. Usually, victory turns the head of other leaders, makes them arrogant and arrogant. Most often in such cases, they begin to celebrate victory, rest on their laurels. But Lenin was not one iota like such leaders. On the contrary, it was after the victory that he became especially vigilant and wary. I remember how Lenin persistently inspired the delegates at that time: “The first thing is not to get carried away with victory and not boast; the second thing is to secure victory for yourself; the third thing is to finish off the enemy, because he has only been beaten, but far from finished yet.” He caustically ridiculed those delegates who frivolously assured that "from now on the Mensheviks are finished." It was not difficult for him to prove that the Mensheviks still had roots in the labor movement,

"Do not boast of victory" - this is the very feature in the character of Lenin, which helped him soberly weigh the strength of the enemy and insure the party against possible surprises.

Happy birthday Ilyich!

"Lay face down for three days"
May 5, 10:43 p.m

Image

Soros litter Pashinyan pissed on Stalin, saying that it is not clear where he was at the beginning of the war.

“Looking back, we are all faced with the idea that Stalin was in the most psychologically prepared state. When they were looking for Stalin, they found him in the residence, lying face down on the floor. At first they thought that he fell ill, died, lay motionless. But Stalin was alive and well. The news of the beginning of the war ruined him morally, because he had previously signed the treaty and his whole calculation was that there would be no war with Germany. According to the testimonies, he lay face down for three days until he was convinced that you were in such a position, and in what position are we? Get up, you need to do something ”(c) Pashinyan

This is an old, still Khrushchev tale
. And it has long been exposed, since the logs of Stalin’s visits have long been declassified and it is well known what Stalin did in the first days of the war.

Stalin's work schedule in the first week of the war.

June 21 - 13 people were accepted, from 18.27 to 23.00.

June 22 - 29 people were received from 05.45 to 16.40.

June 23 - 8 people were accepted from 03.20 to 06.25 and 9 people from 18.45 to 01.25 on June 24.

June 24 - 20 people were accepted from 16.20 to 21.30.

June 25 - 11 people were accepted from 01.00 to 5.50 and 18 people from 19.40 to 01.00 on June 26.

June 26 - 28 people were accepted from 12.10 to 23.20.

June 27 - 30 people were received from 16.30 to 02.40

June 28 - 21 people were received from 19.35 to 00.50

If you wish, it is not difficult to find who exactly was at Stalin's reception on each of these days.

Of course, the vyser of the Soros litter about Stalin took place exactly before the Victory Day, which was achieved under the leadership of Stalin.

On Genuine Marxism

On Genuine Marxism

“There are two groups of Marxists. Both of them work under the flag of Marxism, consider themselves “genuinely” Marxist. And yet they are far from identical. Moreover: there is a whole abyss between them, because their methods of work are diametrically opposed.

The first group is usually limited to external recognition of Marxism, its solemn proclamation. Unable or unwilling to penetrate into the essence of Marxism, unable or unwilling to put it into practice, it turns the living and revolutionary propositions of Marxism into dead formulas that say nothing. She bases her activity not on experience, not on practical work, but on quotations from Marx. It draws instructions and directives not from an analysis of living reality, but from analogies and historical parallels. The discrepancy between words and deeds is the main disease of this group. Hence the disappointment and eternal dissatisfaction with fate, which often brings her down, leaves her "with a nose." The name of this group is Menshevism (in Russia), opportunism (in Europe). Tov. Tyszko (Jogikhes) at the London Congress quite aptly characterized this group, saying,

The second group, on the contrary, shifts the center of gravity of the question from the external recognition of Marxism to its implementation, to its implementation. Determining the ways and means of implementing Marxism in accordance with the situation, changing these ways and means when the situation changes, that is what this group is mainly focusing its attention on. Directives and indications this group draws not from historical analogies and parallels, but from the study of environmental conditions. In her work, she relies not on quotes and sayings, but on practical experience, checking each step on experience, learning from her mistakes and teaching others how to build a new life. This, in fact, explains why in the activity of this group the word does not diverge from the deed, and the teaching of Marx fully retains its living revolutionary force. The words of Marx are quite suitable for this group, by virtue of which Marxists cannot stop at explaining the world, but must go further in order to change it. The name of this group is Bolshevism, Communism. The organizer and leader of this group is V. I. Lenin.

Boris need think about what kind of Marxist he is. Knee-jerk reactionary propaganda in service of the war against the West serves us ill. Science, and the realization that the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend are good places to start. Intelligent Marxists in the West realize that the bourgeoise manipulate the reality of climate change to their capitalist advantage. Likewise, the ruling class backed campaign for 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness' is largely a distraction from class politics. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

In Russia, opened another monument to Stalin. Now in Zvenigorod.
The appearance of new monuments to Stalin in Russia is historically inevitable.
