Historical record: more and more Russians support Stalin

2
The figure of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin has been controversial in Russian society since his death in 1953. Some consider him a tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions of Soviet citizens, while others, on the contrary, are sure that it was thanks to the Leader that the Soviet Union won the Great Patriotic War and reached unprecedented heights in industry, medicine, education, and science in the postwar years.





According to relevant data from the Russian research organization Levada Center, 70% of Russians positively assess policiesconducted by Stalin. Thus, the level of support of the Leader among Russian citizens broke a historical record.

It is clarified that 51% of the inhabitants of Russia experience admiration and extremely high respect for Joseph Vissarionovich as a person. Another 12% have a positive attitude towards him, but already as a politician. At the same time, the Levada Center noticed a trend according to which the number of citizens negatively inclined towards Stalin was constantly decreasing. This dynamics became especially noticeable after 2015.

It is noteworthy that more and more residents of Russia are convinced that the Stalinist repressions were politically necessary and therefore fully justified. Their number over the past two years has increased by 15% and reached 60%.

      Of all the communist leaders, Stalin is a creative figure for the state. This is undeniable! After all, he received the destroyed territory after the civil war. And he managed to restore the country in record time. True methods were used in this case rather inherent in the colony than in a civilized state. And what do you want? Former criminals, terrorists, revolutionaries, etc. came to power. They do not know how otherwise. An important condition for the development of any state, regardless of the state system, is the work of the leading elite of the state. And under Stalin, this elite worked 24 hours a day. Factory directors spent the night at workplaces. Otherwise ... ... you understand. But after the death of Stalin, the decomposition of the elite began. That is all that led to the collapse of the USSR.

      And the further this mess and lawlessness continues in our country, as long as all these various Chubais and Kudrins are Yeltsin's way, lead us back to the vile, dirty and gangster "dashing 90s", until our people will have a need and a need in such a person as JV Stalin, since there is no "Prophet in his Fatherland" and we have no one to hope for, unless Mr. Chance helps, with the help of which great empires were created and destroyed.
