I can not pass by the disgrace. So I want to take part!

I thought here (and I liked it)))
About Stalin's speech. The name "Brothers and sisters ..."
We very often accuse him of a disastrous delay in the first days of the war. Although at that time, little could be done without accurately known from the places, especially since there were quite responsible persons. We had to respond to the debt on the instructions. And such instructions could not be. Shaposhnikov was an experienced military. In the absence of "red envelopes" in safes local organs. I do not believe party and CC.
So here. Could this be delayed to be caused by the preparation of this speech itself?
About Stalin is not accepted to speak well, nevertheless, no dog has gone out about that. Who was the author of the text itself. Not a secret. With almost all political leaders. The period. With the exception of the Bolsheviks and, perhaps, Cherchil, their speeches wrote special people. If there was no suspicion to all all the ears about the intellectual insolvency of the leader. However, this is not.
Those. Suddenly, after ten days, a panic from nowhere appears a speech stunned the whole country. Speech, which has become a large program document.
This is strange. It's impossible.
However, for a person whose library consisted of 20 thousand volumes of which 6 thousand had his personal marks such a completely possible. And logical.
Think. Choose questions to which you want to answer. Justify your answer. Enable instructions for practical actions. Refire a performance. And all this was done by one person, not a group of psychologists, analysts, consultants.
Serious job.
Decent admiration.
At the same time, one should not forget about the colossal psychological pressure, which could not have an environment and general psychological situation in the country. Shock and panic that swept the country's top, and most of the population. Fear of late.
I give this document, in many respects determined the course of events.
Second question. Why did she enter the title of the name brothers and sisters?

Speech on radio

Chairman of the State Defense Committee

I.V. Stalin

Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Fighters of our army and fleet!

I appeal to you, my friends!

Verger military attack hitler's Germany On our homeland, started on June 22, continues. Despite the heroic resistance of the Red Army, despite the fact that the best divisions of the enemy and the best parts of his aviation are already broken and found their grave on the battlefields, the enemy continues to climb ahead, throwing new forces to the front. Hitler's troops managed to capture Lithuania, a significant part of Latvia, the western part of Belarus, part Western Ukraine. Fascist aviation expands the districts of its bombers, exposing bombardments Murmansk, Orsha, Mogilev, Smolensk, Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol. Over our homeland hung a serious danger.

How could this happen that our glorious Red Army passed the fascist troops a number of our cities and districts? Is the German-fascist troops really are invincible troops, how are they tirelessly fascist brandy propagandists about it?

Of course not! History shows that there is no invincible armies and did not happen. Napoleon's army was considered invincible, but it was divided alternately by Russians, English, German troops. The German Army of Wilhelm during the first imperialist war was also considered an invincible army, but she has several times tolerated defeats from Russian and English troops and, finally, was divided by the Anglo-French troops. The same must be said about the current German fascist army of Hitler. This army did not meet even serious resistance on the continent of Europe. Only in our territory she met serious resistance. And if, as a result, the best divisions of the German fascist army were the best divisions of the German-fascist army, it means that the Hitler's fascist army can also be broken and will be divided, as Napoleon and Wilhelm's army were broken.

As for the fact that part of our territory was still captured by the German-fascist troops, then this is due mainly to the fact that the war of fascist Germany against the USSR began under favorable terms for German troops and unprofitable for Soviet troops. The fact is that the troops of Germany, as the country leading, were already fully abused, and 170 divisions abandoned by Germany against the USSR and moved to the borders of the USSR were in a state of complete readiness, expecting only a signal to perform, while Soviet troops need It was still mobilized and moved to the borders. There was a considerable importance here and the fact that fascist Germany unexpectedly and treacherously violated the non-aggression pact, concluded in 1939 between it and the USSR, not believable with the fact that it will be recognized by the entire world of the striker. It is clear that our peace-loving country, not wanting to take the initiative of the violation of the Covenant, could not become a path of treachery.

May ask: how could it happen that the Soviet government went to conclude a non-aggression Covenant with such treacherous people and monsters like Hitler and Ribentrop? Wasn't it allowed here from the Soviet government a mistake? Of course not! The nonsense pact is a pact of the world between the two states. It was such a pact that suggested us Germany in 1939. Could the Soviet government abandon such a sentence? I think that no peace-loving state can refuse a peace agreement with a neighboring power, if even such monsters and cannibals are standing at the head of this power, such as Hitler and Ribentrop. And this, of course, under one indispensable condition - if the peace agreement does not hurt either directly nor indirectly territorial integrity, independence and honor of a peace-loving state. As is known, the nonsense pact between Germany and the USSR is precisely such a package.

What did we win by concluding a nonsense pact with Germany? We have provided our country world for one and a half years and the possibility of preparing their forces to unscrew if the fascist Germany would risk attack our country against the Covenant. This is a certain win for us and loss for fascist Germany.

What did you win and what did the fascist Germany lose, trusting the pact and committing an attack on the USSR? She achieved this some winning position for his troops for a short term, but she lost politically by exposing himself in the eyes of the whole world, like a bloody aggressor. There can be no doubt that this short military gain for Germany is only an episode, and the huge political win for the USSR is a serious and long-term factor, on the basis of which the decisive military successes of the Red Army should be deployed in fascist Germany.

That is why our entire valiant army, our entire valiant naval fleet, all our falcon pilots, all the peoples of our country, all the best people Europe, America and Asia, finally, all the best people of Germany are branded by the treacherous actions of the German fascists and sympathize with the Soviet government, approve the behavior of the Soviet government and see that our business is right that the enemy will be divided that we must win.

By virtue of the war imposed to us, our country entered into a mortal fight with his worst and cunning enemy - German fascism. Our troops are heroically fought with the enemy, armed with teeth with tanks and aviation. The Red Army and the Red Fleet, overcoming numerous difficulties, are selflessly fighting for each Soviet land's span. The main forces of the Red Army, armed with thousands of tanks and aircraft enter the battle. The courage of the soldiers of the Red Army is unparalleled. Our opposite enemy is growing and grows. Together with the Red Army, the entire Soviet people rises to the defense of the Motherland.

What is required in order to eliminate the danger that hurt over our homeland, and what measures do you need to take to defeat the enemy?

First of all, it is necessary that our people, Soviet people understand the whole depth of danger, which threatens our country, and renounced complaunt, from carelessness, from the sentiment of peaceful construction, quite understandable in war timeBut the pernicious currently, when the war radically changed the position. The enemy is cruel and inexorable. He aims to capture our lands. Polished our later, the capture of our bread and our oil mined by our work. He aims to restore the authorities of the landowners, restoring tsarism, destruction national Culture and national statehood of Russian, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Uzbeks, Tatars, Moldava, Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis and other free peoples Soviet Union, their numbness, their transformation into slaves of German princes and barons. The case goes, therefore, about the life and death of the Soviet state, about the life of the death of the peoples of the USSR, about being to be the peoples of the Soviet Union free, or fall into enslavement. It is necessary that Soviet people understand this and stop being carefree so that they mobilize themselves and rebuilt all their work on a new, military manner who does not know the merger of the enemy.

It is necessary, further, so that in our ranks there was no place for nods and shorts, panicers and deserters so that our people do not know fear in the fight and selflessly went to our domestic liberation war against fascist enslavers. Great Lenin, who created our state, said that the main quality of Soviet people should be courage, courage, ignorance of fear in the struggle, willingness to beat along with the people against the enemies of our Motherland. It is necessary that this magnificent quality of the Bolshevik becomes the property of millions and millions of the Red Army, our Red Fleet and all the peoples of the Soviet Union.

We must immediately rebuild our whole work on a military way, all subordinate to the interests of the front and the tasks of organizing the defeat of the enemy. The peoples of the Soviet Union are now seeing that the German fascism will be unproduced in his mad malice and hatred towards our homeland, which provided all workers free work and well-being. The peoples of the Soviet Union should rise to protect their rights, their land against the enemy.

The Red Army, the Red Fleet and all citizens of the Soviet Union should defend each Soviet Land of Soviet Earth, fighting the last drop of blood for our cities and villages, to show courage, initiative and a surge characteristic of our people.

We must organize the comprehensive assistance to the Red Army, to ensure the reinforced replenishment of its ranks, to ensure its supply to everything necessary, to organize rapid promotion of transports with troops and military loads, widespread help.

We must strengthen the rear of the Red Army, subordinating the interests of this case all their work, to ensure the reinforced work of all enterprises, produce more rifles, machine guns, tools, cartridges, shells, aircraft, organize the protection of factories, power plants, telephone and telegraph communications, to establish local air defense .

We must organize a merciless struggle with all sorts of rear disorganizers, deserters, panickers, rumors spreaders, destroy spies, saboteurs, enemy parachutists, providing quickly promoting our fighter battalions. It should be borne in mind that the enemy of Couples, the Chiter, is experienced in the deception and spread of false rumors. You need to take into account all this and do not succumb to provocations. It is necessary to immediately betray the court of the military tribunal of all those who prevent their panicity and cowardice to the cause of defense, without looking at the face.

With a forced waste of parts of the Red Army, it is necessary to invade the entire mobile railway composition, not to leave the enemy of a single steam locomotive, not a single car, not to leave the enemy or a kilogram of bread, nor a liter of fuel. The collective farmers must treat all cattle, to pass under the preservation of government agencies to remove it into the rear districts. All valuable property, including non-ferrous metals, bread and fuel, which can not be exported, must be unconditionally destroyed.

In busy, the enemy areas need to create partisan detachments, horse and hiking, create sabotage groups to combat parts of the enemy army, for inciting partisan War Everywhere and everywhere, for the explosion of bridges, roads, damage to telephone and telegraph communications, arson of forests, warehouses, weapons. In the captured areas, create unbearable conditions for the enemy and all of his accomplices, pursue and destroy them at every step, disrupt all their events.

The war with fascist Germany cannot be considered the usual war. She is not only a war between the two armies. It is at the same time with the great war of the entire Soviet people against the German fascist troops. The purpose of this National Patriotic War against the fascist oppressors is not only the elimination of the danger, which hung over our country, but also assistance to all the peoples of Europe, moaning under the IGAR of the German fascism. In this of the liberation war We will not be alone. In this great war, we will have faithful allies represented by the peoples of Europe and America, including in the face of the German people, enslaved by Hitler's refrains. Our war for freedom of our Fatherland merges with the struggle of the peoples of Europe and America for their independence, for democratic freedoms. It will be a single front of the peoples behind the freedom to enslavement and the threat of enslavement by the Nazi Army Hitler. In this regard historical presentation UK Premiere G. Churchill about the help of the Soviet Union and the US Government Declaration on readiness to assist our country, which can only cause a sense of gratitude in the hearts of the peoples of the Soviet Union, are quite understandable and indicative.

Comrades! Our forces are innumerable. The coming enemy will have to make sure of this soon. Together with the Red Army, many thousands of workers, collective farmers rose, the intelligentsia to the war with the attacked enemy. Million masses of our people will rise. Workers of Moscow and Leningrad have already begun to create a crowded folk militia to support the Red Army. In every city, which is threatened by the danger of the invasion of the enemy, we must create such a national militia, raise all workers to the struggle, in order to protect their freedom to their chest, their homeland in our Patriotic War with German fascism.

In order to quickly mobilize all the forces of the Peoples of the USSR, to repel the enemy, treacherously attacked our homeland, the State Defense Committee was created, in the hands of which the entire fullness of power in the state is now concentrated. The State Defense Committee has begun to work and calls on all the people to rally around Lenin - Stalin's party, around the Soviet government for selfless support for the Red Army and the Red Fleet, to defeat the enemy, for victory.

All our forces are to support our heroic red army, our glorious Red Fleet!

All the forces of the people - in the defeat of the enemy!

Forward, for our victory!

Comrades! Citizens!
Brothers and sisters! Fighters of our army and fleet!
I appeal to you, my friends!

To the 75th anniversary of the conversion of Stalin to soviet people

Such is our story - the great and long-suffering that there is no one in it, which is called the "living place", the same perceived and assessed by the Russian world community.

Even this, ingenious in his simplicity, deeply meaningful beginning in the appeal of the leader to the Soviet people is interpreted by liberal circles - public and church, the dared, which arose not suddenly - like flirting with the people, forced to replace the usual Bolshevik rhetoric.

« Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Fighters of our army and fleet! I appeal to you, my friends!» - With a deep feeling, for the first time in Russian history, these words began on the radio on July 3, 1941 Stalin.

In a verbal triade - "Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! ", As in a drop of water, reflected the changed, after October 17, the composition of the Society of the Former Russian Empire. At the head of his "citizens", in the first place, became "comrades", but also those and others - all of them, nevertheless, "brothers and sisters", among which there are many, directly in spirit, the heirs of Orthodox Russia for which these Two words are especially memorable and familiar.

Of course, not everything was so simple in the Soviet society, and this confirmed war. Many "citizens" did not fully adopt "comrades", being unable to forgive them "their business" in Red Terror, in the genocide of the Russian people, the destruction of temples and clergymen. But, in the words "brothers and sisters", called the call for the union: "There was a serious danger over our homeland."

Common sense, if it is consciously not disconnected, does not allow to deny the leading role of Stalin - the Supreme Commander of the USSR Sun, Chairman of the State Committee, in the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. The history of severe this war testifies that the victory, ultimately, was achieved by the superiority of the Soviet Army over Hitler, equipped better than German, military equipment, thanks to the best organization of work of the entire USSR industry, incredible, the heroic efforts of the entire people on the front and in Rear, in partisan detachments and underground resistance.

Demagogical rhetoric of the liberal hierarch of the ROC: "I believe that Stalin was a monster, a spiritual freak that created a terrible, antichelological system of the country management, built on lies, violence and terror. He untied the genocide against the people of his country and carries personal responsibility for the death of millions of innocent people. In this regard, Stalin is quite comparable to Hitler ... The victory in the war is the victory of the people. The people who showed the greatest will to resist. The wonder of victory in the war is the great phenomenon of the spirit of our people, who did not manage to break Neither Stalin, nor Hitler [Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev). Mission to the world].

"Miracle" is Soviet military equipment: The world's best Russian artillery - "God of War", the Best Tank of World War II T-34, the world's best "Flying Tank" - Armored Il-2 attack aircraft (the most massive aircraft of the Second World War), the famous jet artillery "Katyusha" who visited the horror on the Nazis.

Stalin personally knew all the designers, directors of army factories, held the timelines and the number of combat technology produced. This is written and removed so much a film that not to know these facts of history can only a person who does not want to know and take apparent.

But no matter how great the merit of Stalin in the construction of socialism in the USSR, victory in the Great Patriotic War, creating our "nuclear shield", to the relationship of it to the Russian Orthodox Church, the assessment of the authorities of that period - remain the main in our religious consciousness. Was the power of Stalin from God or he really, was the "monster, spiritual freak", which can be compared with Hitler? Consider this topic more carefully.

For the people of my generation, the Komsomol residents of the 50s, who were standing on the mourning post at the banner in those March 53 years, for our front-line parents - a comparison of Stalin with Hitler is unthinkable, blasphemous and offensive. My native Uncle Clemenov Moses Kaleevich, a member of the Stalingrad battle, in his last ride to his sister, took with him, together with medals, premium diplomas for combat merit signed by Stalin. In our city hospital, he died soon, before his death, he asked that a rifle volley was produced on his grave. But he was ordinary, and so bury the military, just starting with Major, as the mother's local military team explained. Getting from Kuban, Uncle Moses was a calm, weathered man, but I don't know, he would restrain him, hearing such words about Stalin.

On the "Russian People's Line", in the "urgent topic" "Stalin", one of its authors explained to readers about people who insult the memory of the leader: « People, cursing Stalin, these are those who understand that they are revealed as the fifth column of our reality» [Hegumen Evstaphius: Stalin's dialectic - red against black].

I will add, as I understand it, in more wide sense, Faithfully these words: these people cut off their ways to retreat, inspired by the outside, they decided to go against Russia and its people.

Stalin destroyed demons generated by the revolution on the Russian land. Stalin expelled the fascist demons from the Russian land. And therefore, following the words of St. John of Zlatoust, let's say that it is ridiculous and recklessly identifying Hitler with Stalin and say that he has no power from God ...

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill in July 2009, speaking live in the world's largest television channel "Inter", said: " And in the Nazism, and in Stalinism there are repression, and against its own people, too, as in many other modes that existed. But how does Nazism differ from any other system? It is distinguished by his horizontality ... This policy and philosophy, which justified any human cruelty, which sets its goal for the destruction of people. That's why it is impossible to put everything for one level»...

And Russian President Vladimir Putin about the specified topic said that " it is impossible to put Nazism and Stalinism on one board, because the Nazis directly, openly, publicly announced one of the goals of their policies - the destruction of entire ethnic groups: Jews, Gypsy, Slavs. With all the deformity of the Stalinist regime, with all the repression, even with all the references of entire peoples, all the same, the goal of the destruction of peoples never put the Stalinist regime, and the attempt to put on one board alone and others absolutely does not have any soil"[CIT. by: Igor Evsin. ].

The question of repression remains one of the key in the assessment of the acts of Stalin. Only it is not necessary to attribute to him, unprecedented along the scale, the genocide of the Russian people under Lenin, who works by His comrades to Sverdlovy, Zinoviev, Trotsky, and bear the number of his associates and continules of the world, the global revolution. Hegumen Eustafius, whose words have already been given, speaking of suffering and about the dialectic nature of Stalin's policies, explains: the victims of the Stalin period did not disappear for nothing - these were the inevitable historically victims of the creation, the construction of the country in which the future generations could have lived happily.

By the way, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) grew safely, he was educated, including the musical, so came in the army and now, in this, created under the Stalinist Board, the country. The victims of the breakdown period of the USSR, privatization, with its bloody, otherwise you can not say, the leader of the property, the construction is now unknown by what, capitalism is not less than the "Stalinist repression", deliberately exaggerated by Trotskyist Nikita Khrushchev.

Under Stalin, there was a noticeable increase in the population of the country: abortions were prohibited, the nursery, kindergartens, schools were built, were implemented in relevant human rights to free medical care, education, social security, old-age pensions.

That now most worries people, so this is justice that has always been in the price of Russia: to live on conscience. Under Stalin, if there was corruption, then not in the power structures, but for the most part in trade. Nowadays, power cannot cope with corruption, even on the topmost floors - governor and ministerial. And now tell me, was the power of Stalin not pleased with God?!

Stalin is creative, according to the current moment, approached the problems of ideology, considering it key in the raising of the people. This is what one of the authors of the RNL writes about this.

"Recall, for example, as the Soviet ideology changed during the Great Patriotic War. One appeal "Brothers and Sisters" On July 3, 1941, Stalin changed our ideological official doctrine - a completely different spiritual spirit. Bolsheviks-bootiers, Trotskyists he was deeply alien ...

Stalin has changed the pure Leninism-Bolshevism, first of all it is in spirit. He left the goals of the "Mirov Revolution", he put in the head of the corner public interests The Empire Received by him, he rehabilitated Russian patriotism, he recognized the legitimate place of the church in the Soviet society - becoming in this, one can say, a like-minded person with Metropolitan Sergius, who was elected by his will in 1943 by the Patriarch - and not because before that Stalin of this I would not want, but because there was no possibility, he would not have given this ...

So, the main discrepancy between Stalin with Bolshevism was in returning to the Russian spirit in our lives. That's what he most did not suit the Bolshevik-Trotskyist-Leninist, and not at all a communist pro-Western intelligentsia, and the whole west. And still does not suit. And never satisfies. Spirit is not that! All other conversations are about the "cult of personality", about repressions, is all the secondary. The cult of personality was Lenin much more, as well as victims of Leninsky repression, completely unreasonable, - this is all accepted by the "freedom-loving West", it does not interfere with anyone ... why? Because it was against traditional Russia, there was one spirit with the West, with Russophobia and the worn, with those who always stand behind them ... "[Archpriest Nikolai Bulgakov. Revenge Bolshevism. To the 60th anniversary of the XX CPSU Congress].

Common thought in his conversation was expressed by Hegumen Eustafia (Jacques): "Stalin became the" owner "in 1939, when Litvinov was removed, closely related to the West." Our attention should be paid to this circumstance: there are many people like Litvinov, if not for the intellectual level, then on passionate desire to break through to the top of the authorities, it appeared in Russia.

The exact feature for identifying people of this kind, including Stalin's loans, is their melting in the media. After all, everyone is widely known: where the wind blows in the sails of their imaginary "popularity", the polar opposite of the opinions of people thinking about them, in which there was never a lack in Russia. The trouble is that such people the Russian power, to put it mildly, dislikes, limiting their coming to the "Brazdam of the Board".

Let us return, however, to the topic of this article and give the word to the author RNL Igor Evsin.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Sergius (Stargorodsky): "Previously of the new state year in earliest, we will pray for an empty country of our and the authority of her led by our brand name. Yes, gives them the Lord of Power and the fortress for many years to make their great ministry for the benefit of the peoples entrusted to them ...

Patriarch Alexy (Simansky) in publications ... Nets Stalin in a brilliant leader, and still "Our headed Supreme leader", "the wise leader, whom God's fishe elected and put our fatherland on the path of prosperity and glory» .

Also, the famous Metropolitan Nikolai (Yarushevich) - Head of the SSSS MP ... calls Stalin in the genius, and besides "By God put on his feat of the ministry of our Motherland» [Igor Evsin. Stalin. Did his power been from God? ].

"Until the 30s, Stalin was only one of the influential political figures, but in the following years his political weight in internal politics - Out of competition. He is a undoubted leader. It should be noted that Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov made a career thanks to powerful external support for the special services of England, Germany and the United States. Lenin was burdened with obligations to his sponsors, who called "useful idiots" (however, from their dependence, despite endless concessions and victims, he could not get rid of him). Trotsky and Sverdlov (Wall Street People) were obliged to Jewish world capital, were also under certain influence of the external forces that investigated large money in the Russian revolution.

Stalin seems to be ascertained with political Olympus due to its efforts, without the help of foreign special services. Being prudent in relationships, had a chance and was able to become an independent politician, which cannot be said about his political competitors.

Under the leadership of Stalin, the country again, as it was with Russian autocrats, gained full state sovereignty. Stalin returned to Russia autocracy in a distorted perverted form. He was able to establish a state system with sole supreme power. During the years of his board, as with autocracy, the people knew at the top of the authority one name - Stalin "[Nikolay Dozmorov. Remember Stalin].

School years of my years fell on the edges of the camps and exiles: Kazakhstan - North and Central, Eastern Siberia. Often, the road to school passed by the "barbs", behind which the seks worked, and sometimes, during school classes, we heard the shootings of security: they were endless attempts to shoot from the zone of the buildings. In those edges, almost every fifth-sixth adult man graduated from the Stalinist "School", but never anywhere, no one had to hear a bad word about Stalin.

Forever I remember the words of the mother, spoken by her after the death of the leader: "How will we, son, live without Stalin?" My respectful, without exaltation, the attitude to Stalin did not change the report of Khrushchev at the 20th CPSU Congress, with whom I introduced us to the father of my comrade, Frontovik, Colonel, High Position in the camp for prisoners, which was not far from our houses, opposite side ravine.

I did not change my relationship to Stalin and reading the books of Solzhenitsyn. It is like attitudes towards parents - holy and unquestion: so that we will not recognize the new things about them, sometimes not quite pleasant to us, they remain our native people.

Our Stalin, such for us and our history will remain forever and this fact is not given to change anyone. Father John (Peastery) gave the wise council on Joseph Stalin: "Do not condemn it, God's judge to him. And you do not be judges "[Leonid Bolotin. John's father (peasantkin) and his advice regarding Joseph Stalin].

Chairman of the State Committee of Defense I.V. Stalin spoke on the radio with appeal to the Soviet people, which outlined the program to combat the German-fascist invaders.

By decision of the main command rate, Major General P.P. The couples came to the command of the North Western Front.

The troops of the Western Front led battles for crossing the r. Berezina in the districts of Chernywava, Berezino and south.

To the outcome of the day, the coming Romanian-German troops seized the bridgeheads on the northeast bank of the river. Prut east of Botoshani and in the area of \u200b\u200bIasi, from where they later led the offensive in the general direction to Mogilev-Podolsky.

The heroic 23-day defense of Mogilev with Soviet troops and folk militia detachments with a number of over 12 thousand people.

The formation of national militia detachments from the civilian population began in the garrisons of the Northern Fleet. The detachments expressed a desire to go most of the local component of the Northern Fleet.

The Central Committee of the CP (b) of the SCSR of the Ukrainian SCR was ordered to all regional parties and regional executive committees of the republic, located on the right bank of the Dnieper, evacuate all the valuable property of collective farms, state farms, MTS, industrial enterprises, schools of FZO and craft schools.

German troops occupied Driss, Lesten, Zhlobin, Rogachev in Belarus; In Ukraine - Ternopil, Berezhany, Balekhov, Valley, Nadvornaya; In Latvia - Valdemarpils, Gulbene, Kandava, Sigulda, Talsi.

From the speech I. Stalin on the radio

Comrades! Citizens!

Brothers and sisters!

Fighters of our army and fleet!

I appeal to you, my friends!

The treacherous military attack of Hitler's Germany on our homeland, started on June 22, continues. Despite the heroic resistance of the Red Army, despite the fact that the best divisions of the enemy and the best parts of his aviation are already broken and found themselves a grave on the battlefields, the enemy continues to climb ahead, throwing new forces to the front. Hitler's troops managed to capture Lithuania, a significant part of Latvia, the western part of Belarus, part of Western Ukraine. Fascist aviation expands the districts of its bombers, exposing bombardments Murmansk, Orsha, Mogilev, Smolensk, Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol. Over our homeland hung a serious danger.

How could this happen that our glorious Red Army passed the fascist troops a number of cities and districts? Is the German-fascist troops really are invincible troops, how are they tirelessly fascist brandy propagandists about it?

Of course not! History shows that there is no invincible armies and did not happen. Napoleon's army was considered invincible, but it was divided alternately by Russians, English, German troops. The German army of Wilhelm during the first imperialist war was also considered an invincible army, but she has several times tolerated defeats from Russian and the Anglofranzian troops and, finally, was divided by the Anglo-French troops. The same must be said about the current German fascist army of Hitler. This army did not meet even serious resistance on the continent of Europe. Only in our territory she met serious resistance. And if, as a result of this resistance, the best divisions of the German-fascist army were broken by our Red Army, it means that the Hitler's fascist army can also be broken and will be divided, as Napoleon and Wilhelm's army were broken.

As for the fact that part of our territory was still captured by the German-fascist troops, then this is due mainly to the fact that the war of fascist Germany against the USSR began under favorable terms for German troops and unprofitable for Soviet troops. The fact is that German's troops as the country leading the war were already entirely unmobilized, and 170 divisions abandoned by Germany against the USSR and the USSR moved to the borders were in a state of complete readiness, expecting only a signal to perform, while Soviet troops needed More abused and move to the borders. There was a considerable importance here and the fact that fascist Germany unexpectedly violated the non-aggression pact, concluded in 1939 between it and the USSR, not believable with the fact that it will be recognized as the entire world of the striker. It is clear that our peace-loving country, not wanting to take the initiative of the violation of the Covenant, could not become a path of treachery.

May ask: how could it happen that the Soviet government went to conclude the Covenant on nonsense with such treacherous people and monsters like Hitler and Ribbentrop? Wasn't it allowed here from the Soviet government a mistake? Of course not! The nonsense pact is a pact of the world between the two states. It was such a pact that suggested us Germany in 1939. Could the Soviet government abandon such a sentence? I think that no peace-loving state can refuse a peace agreement with a neighboring power, if even such monsters and cannibals, like Hitler and Ribbentrop, are standing at the head of this power. And this, of course, under one indispensable condition - if the peace agreement does not hurt either directly nor indirectly territorial integrity, independence and honor of a peace-loving state. As is known, the nonsense pact between Germany and the USSR is precisely such a package.

What did we win by concluding a nonsense pact with Germany? We have provided our country world for one and a half years and the possibility of preparing their forces to unscrew if the fascist Germany would risk attack our country against the Covenant. This is a certain win for us and loss for fascist Germany.

What did you win and what did the fascist Germany lose, trusting the pact and committing an attack on the USSR? She achieved this some winning position for his troops for a short term, but she lost politically by exposing himself in the eyes of the whole world as a bloody aggressor. There can be no doubt that this short military gain for Germany is only an episode, and a huge political win for the USSR is a serious and long-term factor, on the basis of which the decisive military successes of the Red Army in the War with Fascist Germany<...>

What is required in order to eliminate the danger that hurt over our homeland, and what measures do you need to take to defeat the enemy?

First of all, it is necessary that our people, Soviet people understand the whole depth of danger, which threatens our country, and renounced the complaunt, from carelessness, on the sentiment of peaceful construction, quite understandable in pre-war time, but the pernicious currently when the war radically changed the war position<...> The case is thus about the life and death of the Soviet state, the life and death of the peoples of the USSR, about being to be the peoples of the Soviet Union free or fall into enslavement. It is necessary that Soviet people understand this and stop being carefree so that they mobilize themselves and rebuilt all their work on a new, military manner who does not know the merger of the enemy.

It is necessary, further, so that in our ranks there was no place to nodes and shorts, panicers and deserters, so that our people do not know fear in the struggle and selflessly went to our domestic liberation war against fascist enslavers. Great Lenin, who created our state, said that the main quality of Soviet people should be courage, courage, ignorance of fear in the struggle, willingness to beat along with the people against the enemies of our Motherland. It is necessary that this magnificent quality of the Bolshevik becomes the property of millions and millions of the Red Army, our Red Fleet and all the peoples of the Soviet Union.<...>

Red Army, Red Fleet and All Citizens of the Soviet Union must defend each Soviet Earth's brand, fight the last drop of blood for our cities and villages, show courage, initiative peculiar to our people<...>

With a forced waste of parts of the Red Army, it is necessary to invade the entire mobile railway composition, not to leave the enemy of a single steam locomotive, not a single car, not to leave the enemy or a kilogram of bread, nor a liter of fuel. The collective farmers must treat all cattle, to pass under the preservation of government agencies to remove it into the rear districts. All valuable property, including non-ferrous metals, bread and fuel, which cannot be exported, should definitely be destroyed.

In busy, the enemy areas need to create partisan detachments, horse and hiking, create sabotage groups to combat parts of the enemy army, to incite the partisan war everywhere and everywhere, for explosion of bridges, roads, spoons of telephone and telegraph communications, fabrics, warehouses, warehouses. In the captured areas, create unbearable conditions for the enemy and all of his accomplices, pursue and destroy them at every step, disrupt all their events.

The war with fascist Germany cannot be considered the usual war. She is not only a war between the two armies. It is at the same time the war of the entire Soviet people against the German fascist troops. The goal of this nationwide Patriotic War Against the fascist oppressors is not only the elimination of the danger that hung over our country, but also help to all the peoples of Europe, moaning under the need of German fascism. In this liberation war, we will not be alone. In this great war, we will have faithful allies represented by the peoples of Europe and America, including in the face of the German people, enslaved by Hitler's refrains. Our war for freedom of our Fatherland merges with the struggle of the peoples of Europe and America for their independence, for democratic freedoms. It will be a single front of the peoples behind the freedom to enslavement and the threat of enslavement by the Nazi Army Hitler. In this regard, the historical performance of the Prime Minister of Great Britain Churchill about the help of the Soviet Union and the US Government Declaration on the willingness to assist our country, which can only cause gratitude in the hearts of the Peoples of the Soviet Union, are quite understandable and indicative.

Comrades! Our forces are innumerable. The coming enemy will have to make sure of this soon. Together with the Red Army, many thousands of workers, collective farmers rose, the intelligentsia to the war with the attacked enemy. Million masses of our people will rise. Workers of Moscow and Leningrad have already begun to create a crowded folk militia to support the Red Army. In each city, which is threatened by the danger of the invasion of the enemy, we must create such a national militia, raise all the workers to the struggle, in order to protect their freedom to their chest, their honor, their homeland in our Patriotic War with German fascism.

In order to quickly mobilize all the forces of the Peoples of the USSR, the State Defense Committee has been created treated at our homeland, a state defense committee has been created in the hands of which the entire fullness of power in the state is now concentrated. The State Committee of Defense has begun to work and calls on all the people to rally around Lenin-Stalin's party, around the Soviet government for selfless support for the Red Army and Red Fleet, to defeat the enemy, for victory.

All our forces are to support our heroic red army, our glorious Red Fleet!

All the forces of the people - in the defeat of the enemy!

Forward, for our victory!

Chronicle of events in Leningrad

Some areas of the Leningrad region [then the territory of the current Novgorod and Pskov regions was included in the Lenignan region - approx. The author] began to be called front-line. At the bush meetings of the Secretarians of the Rural Party, convened on July 3, the regional parties were indicated: in case of an enemy, fighter battalions and detachments remain in place and fight against the enemy rear.

Raykomy immediately started organizing forest bases, preparation of caches with food and clothing. More than four thousand rifles and explosives have been issued under threat of enemy invasion.

Leningrad becomes more and more like a frontal city. Enrolled in the 1st Volunteer Division received an order to appear in the barracks. The barracks were some school buildings and premises of those who fledged institutions of the Kirov district. The division headquarters is located in the Gorky Culture Palace.

The militia receive grenades and cartridges. Rifles at all are not enough. There is a lack of experienced commanders. Of the 1824 commanders of all degrees in the division of the Kirov district, there are only 10 personnel military.

Memories of David Josefovich Ortenberg, responsible editor of the newspaper "Red Star"

On the eve of late in the evening I called the secretary of the Central Committee of the party A.S. Shcherbakov.

- How's the newspaper?

- End. Soon the band will go under the press, "I reported cheerfully.

- Delay the first strip. It will be important, material, - Alexander Sergeevich warned.

It happened often. These are now central newspapers, as a rule, are printed from the evening to quickly sleep to readers. And in wartime, the rotary machines were completely launched in the morning.

This explained by many reasons. One of the mains was that Stalin worked almost all night and the General Staff, the Machinery of the Central Committee of the Party, TASS, Sovinformbüro, and, consequently, adapted to this routine. Late came and reports from the fronts.

Tell us someone then about today's schedule of newspaper, we probably would consider it fantastics. It is not for nothing that the editorial pains saved the anecdote about a certain newspaper "Terek", which allegedly not only was done in the older times, but y spread a day ahead. The boys who sold this newspaper were called as if on the streets with a cry:

- "Terek" for tomorrow! .. Tomorrow news! ..

But jokes anecdotes, but the matter is. In anticipation of an important material, it was necessary to release a place for him on the first strip. And there he also stood an important. In any case, it is that I did not want to postpone the following newspaper numbers. So, an inevitable flutter and other bands.

I especially wanted to keep in the room a message from the Leningrad Front about the air taranas fighter pilots and Kharitonov. Skobarichin and Mashlin were famous for the Khalhin-goal, boldly the tails of Japanese bomber tails swooping their cars. We wrote a lot about them in the "Heroic Krasnoarmeyskaya". And now the younger lieutenants of healthy and haryton distinguished themselves. I wanted their names to thunder on all fronts, throughout the country.

Nail numbers I considered the essay on Lieutenant Victor Zhigya, who took three columns under the heading "Heroes of the Patriotic War". With this heading, we, too, continued the traditions of the "heroic Krasnoarmeyskaya". There she was called: "Heroes of Halhin-goal."

On the immense front from the Barents to the Black Sea every hour, dozens, hundreds and thousands of heroic exploits were performed every minute. It would seem that it is easier to lead the section "Heroes of the Patriotic War". But in reality it was not easy. Try to get to the hero, if he has not yet come out of the battle, and if it is wounded and evacuated in a deep rear? And another and head folded ...

I mentioned already that we did not immediately let go in acting army Ilyenkova. I then said that there is an important thing for him in the editors. And meant just this section - "Heroes of the Patriotic War"; Similar category Vasily Pavlovich led in the "heroic campaign" in the winter of 1939-1940.

I went somehow Ilenkov to the editorial secretariat, I saw how there were tormented over headlines for essays about the heroes, and expressed the right idea:

- Do not wise. You just need to make the name of the hero in the title. In every feat, the main thing is a person. And let everyone remember his name ...

So since then. First of all, the essays of Ilyenkov himself were printed with such headlines: "Fighter-fighter fighter", "Battalion Commissioner of Staples", "Artillerist Evgeny Zolyavin".

In the heading "Heroes of the Patriotic War" invested their work, their soul and many other redheads. Materials published under this heading, as a rule, belonged to Peru writers than, probably, the sustainable sympathies of our newspaper readers were determined. Of course, not everyone has answered high criteria, other essays were too informative, they liked more on extended correspondence - newspaper hurry affected. But they played their role, glorifying the courage and the valor of the front-line.

Writers then worked not to a remote future, but on the need for a day, for combat. Nevertheless, much has increased the time check. In the essays printed "red star", we can say, from the fire of fighting, you can find and subtly written landscape, and battle scenes, and the characters of people, colorful speech. Such works entered later in the books.

Transrest and signing three bands of the newspaper, I phoned with Peter Pospelovy and Lvov Rovinsky - editors of the Truth and Izvestia, asked if they did not know what an important material for which the first strip was reserved. No, they knew no more than me.

It was possible only to assume that the performance of Stalin was possible. That was waiting for everything from the first days of the war and wondered why such a performance was postponed.

I went to the Glavfurn and confirmed a gueside. It was necessary to immediately return to the editor. There will be responses. Usually journalists were collected. But the journalists remained small in the editorial - almost all on the fronts. Writers helped. Ilya Ehrenburg, Lion Slavin, Vasily Ilenenkov, Boris Galin, Semyon Kirsanov, Nikolai Bogdanov, Semyon Tregubs rushed to the near Moscow airfields, on the fire positions of the Zenitchikov, who covered the capital, to the spare shelves, for calling points, in hospitals.

I wanted to send to the telegram to front-line correspondents - to connect them to the urgent business. Conducted several options for such telegrams with foggy hints. However, the events did not decide. It was hoping that experienced journalists themselves advocate about responses in a timely manner.

Night on the outcome - soon 5 o'clock in the morning, and nothing is still not. Is it not postponed by the expected performance of Stalin? I called the director TASS Ya.S. Havinson. He schitril: did not say "yes" nor "no". Wait, they say.

Stalin spoke at 6 am 30 minutes. More than once I listened to his speeches and on the radio, and at meetings in the Kremlin. But none excited me as it. Already the first Stalinist words literally pierced the soul: "Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Fighters of our army and fleet! I appeal to you, my friends! .. "

He himself was noticeably worried about why Georgian accent was clearly heard, more often and more than ever, there were pauses.

Gorky truth sounded in his words. He answered very frankly on burning issues, who worried our whole people then.

Of course, later, a decade after the war, a lot was revealed deeper, our mistakes, miscalculations and the first military failures are explained more. But the fact that we heard then from Stalin, shed a clear light on what happened and what was happening, and most importantly - strengthened from Soviet people a sense of optimism, faith in their own strength.

An hour later we received the text of Stalin's speech. At about nine in the morning, the rotation threw the first thousand copies of the "Red Star" with this very important document.

Morning message July 3

During the night, on July 3, fierce battles of our troops were continued with motor-mechanized opponents in the Borisov direction and in the Kremenets region, Zbarazh, Tarnopol. At the rest of the front, there were night searches for scouts and battles of local importance.

Mintings and collections of workers pass in Leningrad, Kiev, Kharkov, Rostov-on-Don, Sverdlovsk and hundreds of other cities and regions of the country.

In Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, many tens of thousands of workers are recorded by volunteers to the national militia to support the Red Army.

Expressing the thoughts and feelings of all Soviet people, the mechanic of one of the Moscow factories. Muravchev stated in his speech at the rally: " Great Stalin Calls on the Soviet people to fight against bloody fascism. No and there can be no such citizen in our country, who would not answer the call of the leader. All our people rose to apply a fatal strike on the enemy, united in an uncomply and mighty force around the Soviet government, around the native Bolshevik party and the beloved leader of our comrade Stalin. "

Soviet troops with great resistance and courage are fighting for freedom and honor of our Motherland. Red warriors are struggling to the last drop of blood for the right thing, for soviet power, per life interests Total progressive humanity.

Many newspapers of England, USA, Turkey, Sweden, Japan and other countries are written about the exclusive heroism of the Red Warriors: "Fights on eastern Front Extremely fierce.

" "The Soviet soldier has exceptional battle qualities. He stubbornly fights to the last cartridge. OP is able to quickly build trenches or disguised posts on any earth. "

The fighters of the Red Army courageously defend each Soviet land, heroically fight for soviet cities And villages, showing courage, initiative and a mustle, peculiar to the Great Soviet people.

Eleven fascist aircraft took the course at the airfield, where the division of senior lieutenant Starikov was located. Four Soviet fighters instantly rose into the air. Pilot cars Ivanova and Filimonov rushed to the middle of enemy aircraft. A few minutes later, one German fighter burned on Earth. The rest, without taking the battle, turned back, rarely dropped bombs. From the fragments of one of the bombs, the Soviet bomber cooked for departure was caught. The slightest delay could lead to an explosion of a bomb load. Voinchnik 1st Rang Leutin, Senior Lieutenant Tatarchuk and Politruk Makeev with a danger to life instantly hung the fire and prevented the danger of explosion of the aircraft.

The enemy tank group with the support of aviation and artillery forced the N River and went to the attack on our artillery division. The commander of the division Captain Sinyavsky ordered the direct vendor to shoot enemy tanks. The artillery officers destroyed 37 tanks.

Speech on the Radio Chairman of the State Committee of Defense I. V. Stalin caused a new raising of nationwide patriotism. All over the country - from Tallinn to Vladivostok - many years have passed from Tallinn to Vladivostok. Millions of fiery Soviet patriots, inspired by the speech of Comrade Stalin, are determined to defend each Soviet Earth's span and fight the last drop of blood for our cities and villages, fighting selflessly and mercilessly to the complete defeat and destroy the fascist barbarians.

The collective farmers of the Pervomaisky district delivered to the batch point of about 30 litter of flax from their stocks.

The autocolonna was scattered and partially destroyed. All aircraft returned to their base.

In the deep rear of the enemy every day the facts of sabotage are rapidly. At the Skoda factories, many artillery guns were recently ruled. In the Netherlands, a new German chemical plant, originated by Dutch patriots, was completely destroyed. In Norway, 11 cars with military loads of the Germans blown up. Polish residents, hiding in roadside forests, shots from guns break through holes in tanks, in which oil is transported from Romania to Germany.

Began reports on the actions of partisan detachments in the Soviet districts captured by the enemy. Here is one of such facts. According to the narrow-chain branch towards the front, the composition with ammunition for the German artillery was promoted. On the way of promoting the composition of the protection, he noticed thick smoke, and then the flame that raged on both sides of the railway canvase. Wanting to smoke a dangerous zone on a complete move, the driver developed a greater speed. Manovr failed: in the very center of the forest fire, the path turned out to be littered by burning trees. When the train guard began to scatter the barrier, shots from shotguns and a manual machine gun came on the way. The bold attack of the partisan was crowned with complete success: the train with ammunition exploded; The team accompanied cars is destroyed. Partisans - brave Soviet patriots - managed to hide in time.

The fascist references of the city of Lahti in Finland announced that they would pay the pilots a thousand Finnish brands for each shot down Soviet aircraft. Judging by the latest reports from the front, the Finnish pilots do not burden the cass of the municipality of the city of Lahti. This, apparently, was calculated for the "generous" municipality: the patriotic gesture was made without any money risk.

Shine lies of the German military reports now became well-known. So, for example, a military browser of the American newspaper "Post Meridim" declares in one of his recent articles: "The German Information Bureau deserves a glory that it is moving into three races faster than German troops. Last autumn, this agency shot down English aircraft three times more than the number that the British had. Another famous American newspaper "Chrischen Sayens Monitor" rightly notes: "German radio communications are intended to confuse world public opinion."

Such is our story - the great and long-suffering that there is no one in it, which is called the "living place", the same perceived and assessed by the Russian world community. Even this, ingenious in his simplicity, deeply meaningful beginning in the appeal of the leader to the Soviet people is interpreted by liberal circles - public and church, the dared, which arose not suddenly - like flirting with the people, forced to replace the usual Bolshevik rhetoric.

« Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Fighters of our army and fleet! I appeal to you, my friends!» - With a deep feeling, for the first time in Russian history, these words began on the radio on July 3, 1941 Stalin.

In a verbal triade - "Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! ", As in a drop of water, reflected the changed, after October 17 of the year 17, the composition of the society of the former Russian Empire. At the head of his "citizens", in the first place, became "comrades", but also those and others - all of them, nevertheless, "brothers and sisters", among which there are many, directly in spirit, the heirs of Orthodox Russia for which these Two words are especially memorable and familiar.

Of course, not everything was so simple in the Soviet society, and this confirmed war. Many "citizens" did not fully adopt "comrades", being unable to forgive them "their business" in Red Terror, in the genocide of the Russian people, the destruction of temples and clergymen. But, in the words "brothers and sisters", called the call for the union: "There was a serious danger over our homeland."

Common sense, if it is consciously not disconnected, does not allow to deny the leading role of Stalin - the Supreme Commander of the USSR Sun, Chairman of the State Committee, in the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. The history of severe this war testifies that the victory, ultimately, was achieved by the superiority of the Soviet Army over Hitler, equipped better than German, military equipment, thanks to the best organization of work of the entire USSR industry, incredible, the heroic efforts of the entire people on the front and in Rear, in partisan detachments and underground resistance.

Demagogical rhetoric of the liberal hierarch of the ROC: "I believe that Stalin was a monster, a spiritual freak that created a terrible, antichelological system of the country management, built on lies, violence and terror. He untied the genocide against the people of his country and carries personal responsibility for the death of millions of innocent people. In this regard, Stalin is quite comparable to Hitler ... The victory in the war is the victory of the people. The people who showed the greatest will to resist. The wonder of victory in the war is the great phenomenon of the spirit of our people, who did not manage to break Neither Stalin, nor Hitler [Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev). Mission to the world].

"Miracle" is a Soviet military equipment: the world's best Russian artillery - "God of War", the best tank of World War II T-34, the world's best "flying tank" is an armored attack aircraft IL-2 (the most massive plane of the Second World War ), the famous jet artillery "Katyusha", who horrified on the Hitlerians.

Stalin personally knew all the designers, directors of army factories, held the timelines and the number of combat technology produced. This is written and removed so much a film that not to know these facts of history can only a person who does not want to know and take apparent.

But no matter how great the merit of Stalin in the construction of socialism in the USSR, victory in the Great Patriotic War, creating our "nuclear shield", to the relationship of it to the Russian Orthodox Church, the assessment of the authorities of that period - remain the main in our religious consciousness. Was the power of Stalin from God or he really, was the "monster, spiritual freak", which can be compared with Hitler? Consider this topic more carefully.

For the people of my generation, the Komsomol residents of the 50s, who were standing on the mourning post at the banner in those March 53 years, for our front-line parents - a comparison of Stalin with Hitler is unthinkable, blasphemous and offensive. My native Uncle Clemenov Moses Kaleevich, a member of the Stalingrad battle, in his last ride to his sister, took with him, together with medals, premium diplomas for combat merit signed by Stalin. In our city hospital, he died soon, before his death, he asked that a rifle volley was produced on his grave. But he was ordinary, and so bury the military, just starting with Major, as the mother's local military team explained. Getting from Kuban, Uncle Moses was a calm, weathered man, but I don't know, he would restrain him, hearing such words about Stalin.

On the "Russian People's Line", in the "urgent topic" "Stalin", one of its authors explained to readers about people who insult the memory of the leader: « People, cursing Stalin, these are those who understand that they are revealed as the fifth column of our reality» [Hegumen Evstaphius: Stalin's dialectic - red against black].

I will add, as I understand it, in a broader sense, the faithful of these words: these people cut off their way of retreat, inspired by the outside, they decided to go against Russia and its people.

Stalin destroyed demons generated by the revolution on the Russian land. Stalin expelled the fascist demons from the Russian land. And therefore, following the words of St. John of Zlatoust, let's say that it is ridiculous and recklessly identifying Hitler with Stalin and say that he has no power from God ...

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill in July 2009, speaking live in the world's largest television channel "Inter", said: " And in the Nazism, and in Stalinism there are repression, and against its own people, too, as in many other modes that existed. But how does Nazism differ from any other system? It is distinguished by his horizontality ... This policy and philosophy, which justified any human cruelty, which sets its goal for the destruction of people. That's why it is impossible to put everything for one level»...

And Russian President Vladimir Putin about the specified topic said that " it is impossible to put Nazism and Stalinism on one board, because the Nazis directly, openly, publicly announced one of the goals of their policies - the destruction of entire ethnic groups: Jews, Gypsy, Slavs. With all the deformity of the Stalinist regime, with all the repression, even with all the references of entire peoples, all the same, the goal of the destruction of peoples never put the Stalinist regime, and the attempt to put on one board alone and others absolutely does not have any soil"[CIT. by: Igor Evsin. ].

The question of repression remains one of the key in the assessment of the acts of Stalin. Only it is not necessary to attribute to him, unprecedented along the scale, the genocide of the Russian people under Lenin, who works by His comrades to Sverdlovy, Zinoviev, Trotsky, and bear the number of his associates and continules of the world, the global revolution. Hegumen Eustafius, whose words have already been given, speaking of suffering and about the dialectic nature of Stalin's policies, explains: the victims of the Stalin period did not disappear for nothing - these were the inevitable historically victims of the creation, the construction of the country in which the future generations could have lived happily.

By the way, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) grew safely, he was educated, including the musical, so came in the army and now, in this, created under the Stalinist Board, the country. The victims of the breakdown period of the USSR, privatization, with its bloody, otherwise you can not say, the leader of the property, the construction is now unknown by what, capitalism is not less than the "Stalinist repression", deliberately exaggerated by Trotskyist Nikita Khrushchev.

Under Stalin, there was a noticeable increase in the population of the country: abortions were prohibited, the nursery, kindergartens, schools were built, were implemented in relevant human rights to free medical care, education, social security, old-age pensions.

That now most worries people, so this is justice that has always been in the price of Russia: to live on conscience. Under Stalin, if there was corruption, then not in the power structures, but for the most part in trade. Nowadays, power cannot cope with corruption, even on the topmost floors - governor and ministerial. And now tell me, was the power of Stalin not pleased with God?!

Stalin is creative, according to the current moment, approached the problems of ideology, considering it key in the raising of the people. This is what one of the authors of the RNL writes about this.

"Recall, for example, as the Soviet ideology changed during the Great Patriotic War. One appeal "Brothers and Sisters" On July 3, 1941, Stalin changed our ideological official doctrine - a completely different spiritual spirit. Bolsheviks-bootiers, Trotskyists he was deeply alien ...

Stalin has changed the pure Leninism-Bolshevism, first of all it is in spirit. He left the goals of the "Mirove Revolution", he set the state interests to the empire recreated by him, he rehabilitated Russian patriotism, he recognized the legitimate place of the church in the Soviet Society - becoming in this, one can say, like-minded people with Metropolitan Sergius, who according to his will It was elected in 1943 by the Patriarch - and not because before that, Stalin would not want it, but because there was no possibility, he would not have given this ...

So, the main discrepancy between Stalin with Bolshevism was in returning to the Russian spirit in our lives. That's what he most did not suit the Bolshevik-Trotskyist-Leninist, and not at all a communist pro-Western intelligentsia, and the whole west. And still does not suit. And never satisfies. Spirit is not that! All other conversations are about the "cult of personality", about repressions, is all the secondary. The cult of personality was Lenin much more, as well as victims of Leninsky repression, completely unreasonable, - this is all accepted by the "freedom-loving West", it does not interfere with anyone ... why? Because it was against traditional Russia, there was one spirit with the West, with Russophobia and the worn, with those who always stand behind them ... "[Archpriest Nikolai Bulgakov. Revenge Bolshevism. To the 60th anniversary of the XX CPSU Congress].

Common thought in his conversation was expressed by Hegumen Eustafia (Jacques): "Stalin became the" owner "in 1939, when Litvinov was removed, closely related to the West." Our attention should be paid to this circumstance: there are many people like Litvinov, if not for the intellectual level, then on passionate desire to break through to the top of the authorities, it appeared in Russia.

The exact feature for identifying people of this kind, including Stalin's loans, is their melting in the media. After all, everyone is widely known: where the wind blows in the sails of their imaginary "popularity", the polar opposite of the opinions of people thinking about them, in which there was never a lack in Russia. The trouble is that such people the Russian power, to put it mildly, dislikes, limiting their coming to the "Brazdam of the Board".

Let us return, however, to the topic of this article and give the word to the author RNL Igor Evsin.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Sergius (Stargorodsky): "Previously of the new state year in earliest, we will pray for an empty country of our and the authority of her led by our brand name. Yes, gives them the Lord of Power and the fortress for many years to make their great ministry for the benefit of the peoples entrusted to them ...

Patriarch Alexy (Simansky) in publications ... Nets Stalin in a brilliant leader, and still "Our headed Supreme leader", "the wise leader, whom God's fishe elected and put our fatherland on the path of prosperity and glory» .

Also, the famous Metropolitan Nikolai (Yarushevich) - Head of the SSSS MP ... calls Stalin in the genius, and besides "By God put on his feat of the ministry of our Motherland» [Igor Evsin. Stalin. Did his power been from God? ].

"Until the 30s, Stalin was only one of the influential political figures, but in subsequent years its political weight in domestic policy is out of competition. He is a undoubted leader. It should be noted that Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov made a career thanks to powerful external support for the special services of England, Germany and the United States. Lenin was burdened with obligations to his sponsors, who called "useful idiots" (however, from their dependence, despite endless concessions and victims, he could not get rid of him). Trotsky and Sverdlov (Wall Street People) were obliged to Jewish world capital, were also under certain influence of the external forces that investigated large money in the Russian revolution.

Stalin seems to be ascertained with political Olympus due to its efforts, without the help of foreign special services. Being prudent in relationships, had a chance and was able to become an independent politician, which cannot be said about his political competitors.

Under the leadership of Stalin, the country again, as it was with Russian autocrats, gained full state sovereignty. Stalin returned to Russia autocracy in a distorted perverted form. He was able to establish a state system with sole supreme power. During the years of his board, as with autocracy, the people knew at the top of the authority one name - Stalin "[Nikolay Dozmorov. Remember Stalin].

School years of my years fell on the edges of the camps and exiles: Kazakhstan - North and Central, Eastern Siberia. Often, the road to school passed by the "barbs", behind which the seks worked, and sometimes, during school classes, we heard the shootings of security: they were endless attempts to shoot from the zone of the buildings. In those edges, almost every fifth-sixth adult man graduated from the Stalinist "School", but never anywhere, no one had to hear a bad word about Stalin.

Forever I remember the words of the mother, spoken by her after the death of the leader: "How will we, son, live without Stalin?" My respectful, without exaltation, the attitude to Stalin did not change the report of Khrushchev at the XX CPSU Congress, with whom I introduced us to the father of my comrade, Frontovik, Colonel, who occupies a high camp for prisoners, which was located near our homes, on the opposite Side of the ravine.

I did not change my relationship to Stalin and reading the books of Solzhenitsyn. It is like attitudes towards parents - holy and unquestion: so that we will not recognize the new things about them, sometimes not quite pleasant to us, they remain our native people.

Our Stalin, such for us and our history will remain forever and this fact is not given to change anyone. Father John (Peastery) gave the wise council on Joseph Stalin: "Do not condemn it, God's judge to him. And you do not be judges "[Leonid Bolotin.
