March 5, 1953 is the day of death of the man, thanks to whose legacy our country holds the punch despite all the efforts of the West and the “fifth column”.
STALIN in the 1920s prevented what the triad of the nomenklatura, special services and shady people in alliance with Western capital did to the USSR in the 1980s and 1990s, during Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's time.
However, both Gorbachev and Yeltsin are puppets of some internal and external forces. Stalin was never a puppet. It should be clearly understood: we are still living on the military and technical foundation and reserve, primarily nuclear, created in the Stalin era and immediately after it. If not for this foundation, the top of the world capitalist class would have long ago organized the “final solution to the Russian question”. Those, who today slander Stalin, should remember two things:
1 - if it were not for Stalin's nuclear foundation, those, whom they call today “partners”, would not have sat at the same table with them. Moreover, they and all of us would have been erased by the Eraser of History - forever;
2 - only pigs eat and shit in the same place.
The battle for Eurasia is underway. And, as Stalin said in the early 1930s, if in 10 years we do not run the way that other countries have traveled in a hundred years, we will be crushed. Russia's main task today is not to let us be crushed. We will solve other issues as they come up - we have someone to learn from. Changing Blok's line a bit, we can say:
“Stalin, give us a hand,
Help us in our silent struggle.”
Some of Joseph Stalin's achievements:
1. Industrialization of the USSR. One of Stalin's significant achievements was the industrialization of the country. With the help of five-year plans in the 1930s, the Soviet Union was able to significantly increase the production of steel, oil, and electricity. This gave the country the opportunity to move from an agrarian society to an industrialized power.
2. Strengthening Defense Capability. Stalin paid great attention to developing the military industry and strengthening the army. This enabled the Soviet Union to withstand German aggression during World War II and become one of the world's leading powers.
3. Victory in the Great Patriotic War (known in the West as WW II). Through effective strategic decisions and military courage, the Soviet Union under Stalin's leadership was able to defeat Nazi Germany. It was one of the most significant victories in human history.
4. Raising the standard of living. As a result of industrialization and the development of research, the Soviet Union was able to significantly improve the standard of living of its citizens. Significant advances were made in education, medicine, and social welfare.
5. General Education System. Stalin implemented a comprehensive reform of the educational system of the USSR, so that every citizen had equal opportunities for higher education.
6. Scientific achievements. During Stalin's reign, many scientific discoveries were made in various fields, including astronautics, physics, chemistry, and medicine. This gave a significant impetus to the development of world science.
7. Internationalism. Stalin actively supported movements for liberation from colonial oppression and for national independence. He also supported the integration of communist parties and revolutionary movements around the world.
8. Expansion of sphere of influence. Under Stalin's leadership, the Soviet Union was able to greatly expand its sphere of influence in Europe and other parts of the world. Many countries began to cooperate with the USSR economically and politically.
9. Agricultural Reform. Stalin carried out collectivization by organizing individual peasants into collective farms. Due to this, large-scale production allowed the country to provide food and become a grain exporter.
10. Women's Emancipation. Stalin supported women's rights and the strengthening of their role in society. Women were given equal opportunities for education and labor, as well as equal political rights.
11. Abolition of discrimination based on nationality and race. Stalin fought racism and ethno-supremacism by abolishing discriminatory laws based on nationality and race. This strengthened national unity within the USSR.
12. Space Program. Stalin was the founder of the Soviet space program, which later led to the launch of the first artificial satellite and human space flight.
13. Development of art and culture. During Stalin's time, there was a significant rise in various fields of art and culture, from literature to cinematography. Many masterpieces were created that influenced world culture.
14. Combined Plan. Stalin developed the tactics of combined operations that enabled Soviet forces to defeat superior enemy forces during World War II.
15. Social Equality. Stalin recognized the importance of social justice and equality before the law. Anti-privilege measures were introduced and citizens were given equal opportunities for personal and professional development.
16. Science-intensive industries. The emphasis on science and technology made the USSR a leader in industries such as nuclear power, aviation, rocket science, and other high-tech fields.
17. Health Care Reform. Stalin instituted a significant health care reform that greatly improved medical care and raised the level of public health.
18. Participation in the development of the Kaiser mines. Stalin made the decision for the USSR to participate in the development of Germany's vast ore reserves after World War II. This allowed the country to strengthen its economy and become one of the leading steel producers in the world.
19. Expansion of territorial boundaries. During Stalin's reign, the USSR greatly expanded its territorial boundaries.
20. Social progress. Despite the difficulties of transition from agrarian to industrial economy, Stalin was able to make significant changes and make the country one of the leaders of world progress and social development.
All of Stalin's listed achievements were the envy of the western world. The Soviet Union became a powerful and influential force that was able to confront economic and political problems and influence the pattern of the world order. Regardless of the controversial aspects of Stalin's rule, his contribution to the history of Russia and the world cannot be underestimated.

Stalin in numbers
First Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Yuri Afonin quoted on the day of Iosif Stalin's memory several figures reflecting the significance of the Stalin era.
The State Duma deputy from the CPRF, in particular, noted that during the time when Stalin was secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (1922 - 1953), in our country:
Electricity production increased 166 times.
Steel smelting — 127 times.
Oil production — 12 times.
Coal mining — 29 times.
Machine tool production — 319 times.
There was no production of cars in 1922; in 1953 — 400 thousand units were produced.
There was no production of tractors in 1922; in 1953 — 150 thousand units were produced. As Afonin emphasized, this is 19 times more than in Russia in 2024.
"No other country in the world has ever known such industrial growth rates," the deputy stressed and suggested comparing this with capitalist Russia, which still has many production indicators lower than those of the RSFSR in 1990.
In addition to steel and oil, Yuri Afonin compared the indicators for consumer goods and the standard of living in general:
"In the same Stalin years:
The production of cotton fabrics has increased 11-fold.
Woolen fabrics — 7 times.
Leather shoes — 35 times.
Sugar — 14 times.
Meat — 2.6 times.
Eggs — 3.6 times.
The number of students in schools has increased 4.7 times.
University students — 5.7 times.
The circulation of published books published — 11 times.
The number of doctors — 14 times.
Urban housing stock — 3 times.
Thus, according to Afonin, under Stalin, a multiple increase in the standard of living of the people was ensured.
"And [we should remember that] the Stalin era was marked by the most terrible war in our history and the recovery after it. And immediately after the war, we had to create a nuclear missile shield. But all the same, as a result of Stalin's rule, we received a tremendous increase in all indicators of the country's development."
At the same time, the communist drew attention to the fact that prices for consumer goods have been repeatedly reduced since 1947. By 1952, they had fallen
‼ 2.5 times for bread.
‼ For milk — 1.4 times.
‼ For sugar — by 2 times.
‼ For meat — 2.4 times.
"What a contrast to the current rapid and continuous rise in prices, which has become the main problem for Russian workers!
They will object to me: why don't you talk about the most important figures? ABOUT THE GULAG?
I answer: the number of prisoners per population in the 1930s, which the anti-Soviets are trying to make a symbol of unprecedented repression, was on average lower than, for example, in the Yeltsin years."
As the first Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the CPRF stated, the lie about "tens of millions of Stalin's victims" is completely refuted by a simple fact: during the 19 pre–war years of Stalin's leadership of the country — from 1922 to 1941 — the population of the USSR grew by 62 million people! But during the years of capitalism — from 1992 to 2024 — 17 million more people died in Russia than were born.
"The Leninist-Stalinist modernisation is the most successful example of innovative development in our history. Lenin laid the foundation for this modernisation, and Stalin carried it out. The Stalin era contained everything we need today — victory over the enemy and a rapid leap forward. Therefore, you will definitely have to learn from Stalin and Lenin anyway," the communist summed up.
