Stalin - an outstanding statesman and military figure of the XX century-from VKPB website


 20.12.2022,




December 21, 1879 Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was born - a faithful companion and disciple of Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Party, the organizer of the construction of socialism in the USSR and the Great Victory of the Soviet people over fascism.


“Under the leadership of the Communist Party, headed by Comrade Stalin, the Soviet people built socialism in our country and launched the implementation of a great program for the steady rise of their material well-being and cultural level; won a world-historic victory over fascism in the Second World War and thereby decisively weakened the forces of the external enemies of the USSR; brought the Soviet Union out of its position of international isolation, ensuring the formation of an invincible camp of peace-loving states with a population of 800 million people; opened bright prospects for our country to build a communist society based on free labor, on genuine equality and brotherhood of people.


V.M. Molotov


“Under the leadership of Stalin, the peoples of the USSR built a great independent power, defeated internal and external enemies. Therefore, for freedom-loving peoples, the example of the USSR and the CPSU, led by Stalin, has historical as well as practical significance.


The best memory of Stalin is the embodiment of his precepts, the study and understanding of his tireless activity. To be a comrade-in-arms and a disciple of the great Stalin means to be principled and merciless to the internal and external enemies of the Fatherland in a Stalinist way, it means to defend the independence of the state at all costs, not sparing your own life.


Mao Zedong


“The sudden death of Comrade Stalin, the leader and teacher of all revolutionaries and patriots of our time, echoes with grief in the hearts of millions of people around the world.


Without the Soviet Union, led by Stalin, there could be no question of gaining true independence by many countries of the world, including Albania. Without the experience of the struggle of the USSR against numerous internal and external enemies, led by Stalin, there could be no question of the victory of the people's democratic system in many countries of the world.


Enver Hoxha


“Stalin was the great leader of the Soviet peoples and the great commander of the Soviet Union. Comrade Stalin inspired us Koreans, like other peoples of the world, to fight against fascism and imperialism, for independence and socialism. Thanks to the activities of Stalin, our people were able to defend their freedom - inspired by Stalin and the great Soviet Union, we Koreans inflicted crushing defeats on the Japanese occupiers and the Yankee imperialists. Thanks to help from the Soviet Union and Comrade Stalin personally, the new Korea defeats its enemies and rallies more closely around the Stalinist Workers' Party. We must learn from Stalin, from the Stalinist Soviet Union. We Korean communists must be as honest, principled and selflessly devoted to our people as our teacher, comrade and friend, the great Generalissimo STALIN.”


Kim Il Sung


“The Soviet people and all the peoples of Europe are indebted to Comrade Stalin for the victory in the last war, the defeat of the Nazi hordes, and their liberation from captivity. The Polish people are indebted to him, moreover, for the fact that the Polish Army, alongside the invincible Soviet Army, took an active part in this war. The Polish people are indebted to Comrade Stalin for the great historical change in relations between Poland and the USSR. Comrade Stalin was the initiator and organizer of a radical change in relations between the Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian peoples, on the one hand, and the Polish, on the other.


Thanks to Comrade Stalin, People's Poland, restored within new borders on the Oder, the Neisse and the Baltic Sea, is now a state organism, nationally homogeneous, built on sound economic principles and with great potential for further development. Now that Poland has freed itself from the fetters of capitalism that hampered its development and put an end to the imperialist infiltration that distorted and perverted its development, threatening its independence, Poland's sovereignty is fully secured.


The merits of Comrade Stalin are invaluable both in the matter of the revival of Poland and in the matter of ensuring its development, power and flourishing. That is why Comrade Stalin is so deeply revered and loved by all working people, by all true patriots of Poland.”


Boleslav Bierut


“After the Battle of Stalingrad and especially the Battle of Kursk, he rose to the heights of strategic leadership. Now Stalin thinks in terms of modern warfare, he is well versed in all questions of preparing and conducting operations. He already demands that military operations be carried out creatively, with full regard for military science, that they be both resolute and maneuverable, and presuppose the dismemberment and encirclement of the enemy. In his military thinking, a tendency to massing forces and means, to the diverse use of all possible options for starting operations and conducting them, is noticeably manifested. JV Stalin became well versed not only in military strategy, which came easily to him, for he was an excellent master of the art of political strategy, but also in operational art.


I think Stalin, during the period of the strategic offensive of the Soviet Armed Forces, showed all the main qualities of a Soviet commander. He skillfully directed the actions of the fronts, and all Soviet military art during the war years showed strength, creative character, was much higher than the military art of the Nazi military school vaunted in the West.


Stalin had a great influence on the creation of the business style of the Headquarters. If we consider this style starting from the autumn of 1942, then it was characterized by: reliance on collective experience in the development of operational-strategic plans, high demands, efficiency, constant communication with the troops, accurate knowledge of the situation on the fronts.


A.M. Vasilevsky


“Not everyone can be a Stalinist. The honorary title of Leninist-Stalinist must be earned by the Bolshevik struggle and steadfastness, selfless devotion to the cause of the working class. Every day the Leninist-Stalinist guard of fighters of the proletariat grows, expands and rises in all corners of the earth, constituting the golden fund of the world working-class movement. Only they, and not the contemptible Social-Democratic lackeys of imperialism, express the interests and needs of the working class, and this glorious guard will lead the international proletariat under the banner of Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin to victory over the forces of the old world.


But the Bolsheviks know that victory never comes by itself, that it must be prepared and won. Learn from Stalin creative Marxism, learn from Stalin how to build a Bolshevik party, learn from Stalin to strengthen ties with the masses under all conditions, learn from Stalin the struggle against social democracy, learn from Stalin revolutionary daring and revolutionary realism, learn from Stalin to be fearless in battle and merciless towards the class enemy, to learn from Stalin with an unbending will to overcome all difficulties and defeat the enemy, to learn from Stalin to be faithful to the end to the cause of proletarian internationalism - this is the most important condition for preparing and winning the victory of the working class.
