Lenin, Stalin, Mao and successors

According to polls by the Levada Center, 25 percent of those polled spoke positively about Stalin 20 years ago, and in 2023 that percentage reached 67 percent. The XNUMXth anniversary of Lenin's death went unnoticed in Moscow - they say that the Moscow zoo has more visitors than the mausoleum of the founder of the USSR. And, in the words of Xi Jinping, Mao Zedong Thought represents "the precious spiritual wealth of the Party"

Yugoslav tribute to Stalin

On Thursday, March 5, at 4.35:18.30 in the morning, a second medical bulletin was published and announced that Comrade Stalin's health was deteriorating. At XNUMX:XNUMX a new bulletin: acute disorders of the cardiovascular system, very difficult breathing, Comrade Stalin's state of health is very serious. The editorial of the "Pravda" newspaper on the same day wrote "about the great unity of the Party and the people", and besides Lenin and Stalin, only Georgy Malenkov was mentioned.

How Stalin killed Trotsky: If only comrades had listened to Comrade Lenin

"Stalin is too inconsiderate, so if that mistake is tolerable in terms of the relationship between us communists, it is intolerable in the Secretary General's office." That is why I suggest that comrades find a way to remove Stalin from that position," wrote Lenin exactly 100 years ago. His comrades did not listen to him and history took a completely different course. Communism turned into Stalinism

Looking through the Russian window: Freeing Ukraine from itself

The "United Russian People" is watching on television how Volnovakha and Marijupolj were razed to the ground not by Russian rockets, but by the Ukrainian army and above all by neo-Nazis, that in the basements and subways in Kharkiv citizens are not hiding from Russian bombs but, again, from neo-Nazis, that that the Russian army did not target the maternity hospital in Mariupol, but that the Azov regiment did it, that the Russian soldiers finally freed the Ukrainians and gave them humanitarian aid with a capital letter "Z" on the boxes and the inscription "let's not abandon ours". And since those Ukrainians, most of whose mother tongue is Russian, cannot welcome the "liberators" with bread and salt, it is increasingly heard that they are either "brainwashed" or "all those in Ukraine are like that - prone to Nazism".

Cult of personality

Gods among us

Not everyone can be a leader. Monuments are not built for everyone during their lifetime, cities and streets are named after them. Not every head of state or government aspires to be worshiped by the masses, to have songs written for him, to have ministers obey him without question, to be sinless, to be a deity. These are people of a special kind. They have one thing in common regardless of their ideology: they are all covert or open dictators and build a cult of personality so that they can rule unhindered and for life.

Two hundred days of destruction and death

Generations judge a deed, but do they remember at what price the victory over fascism was paid? The Battle of Stalingrad, fought from July 23, 1942 to February 2, 1943, over an area of ​​100.000 square kilometers, claimed the lives of a million soldiers and probably as many civilians. It involved more than two million people with 20.000 guns and mortars, about 2000 tanks and about 2000 planes.
