Mass Grief for Stalin!

USSR: Stalin’s [1953] Funeral – Greatest of the 20th Century – and the Resulting Stampede! (27.2.2025)

Since the recent détente of the US and modern Russia – the Russian-language Yandex search-engine has once again become easily available via the Western internet. Since I last regularly accessed the “deep” Russian internet – I have noticed that whereas there was about a 50%-50% distribution of pro and anti Stalin articles – a new narrative has been ordered which portrays Stalin as a mass killer who also achieved one or two great achievements for the Russian people (the new orientation is roughly 25& pro and 75% anti). This is a Western (capitalist), reactionary, Trotskyite, and entirely fascist attitude. Furthermore, it is pseudo-history. Joseph Stalin was working-class (most old Bolsheviks were middle-class) and was Georgian – not Russian (Stalin rejected all forms of nationalism – including Russian). The Soviet Union was a collective of around 15 or 16 countries (depending on era) that acted in Socialist collaboration. The history of the Soviet Union is not the history of Russia – even if Russia was the socio-economic driving force. The point of the 1917 Revolution was a new era in human evolution – a step forward and away from feudalism and capitalism.

USSR: Grover Furr Debunks the Lies of Robert Conquest and the Anti-Stalin Paradigm! (8.2.2024)

The available source texts from time portray and reveal this reality. There is no talk of pogroms, gulags, oppressions and purges – although it is true that the US took the side of Trotsky. How odd it is then, to bear witness to a deluge of post-1945 texts which serve to construct an alternative history that would have the unsuspecting reader to believe that whilst Roosevelt was chatting with Stalin and Harpo was making Soviet Generals ‘laugh’ – that most of the population of the USSR lived in Prison Camps and that Stalin was personally involved in a famine he had deliberately caused in (Catholic) West Ukraine! Interestingly, the US Philosopher – Will Durant – who could not read, write or speak Russian, visited the USSR in 1933 (the year of Roosevelt’s Diplomatic Mission) – and claimed a Russian peasant woman stated to him that life was terrible. When asked to produce this woman, he could not – and neither could he explain how he understood or communicated with this woman. Durant appears to be a foreshadowing of the disinformation that was to come out of the US – post-1945.

DPR: Boris Litvinov – Video Conference – Communist Parties of the UPC-CPSU! (28.5.2022) 

Petro Symonenko began his speech by describing the current situation in Ukraine, in particular, he spoke about the active ‘De-Communization’ carried out by the Kyiv elite: “The current Ukrainian government is trying to eliminate everything that belongs to the leftist regime.” In his opinion, the Collective West has turned Ukraine into a springboard for a fight against Russia, therefore, in today’s realities, the 100th Anniversary of the formation of the USSR is an opportunity to demonstrate the solidarity of all fraternal peoples. “Only the Communist Party today realistically assesses the situation and offers ways to solve the problems we are facing,” said Petr Nikolayevich. He also added that in the current realities, coordinated and consistent work with foreign Communist Parties is especially important.
