Stalin is a brief biography

A series of high-profile criminal cases fabricated by the Stalinist state security authorities-the aviation case of the year, the General case of the GO, the case of the Jewish anti-fascist committee of the GO, the Krasnoyarsk business of the GO geologists, the Mingrelian case of the GO, and the case of the “racers” of the year, swept through the country. After the death of Stalin, most of their defendants will be rehabilitated.

Fearing a new war with the former allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, Stalin considered the active development of the military-industrial complex and heavy industry for the Soviet economy. Generalissimo of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin.

At the same time, the level of housing construction and production of consumer goods in the last years of Stalin’s reign remained extremely low - however, as well as the standard of living of the majority of the population of the USSR, especially the peasantry. Death and children in the last years of life Joseph Stalin had long and seriously ill. He died on March 5, according to a medical opinion, from extensive hemorrhage in the brain.

At his funeral on March 9, the center of Moscow arose a huge crush in which more than a thousand people died. Initially, Stalin's embalmed body was placed next to Lenin’s body in the Mausoleum on Red Square in Moscow. March of the year. Stalin was married twice. In the year, Catherine died of a fleeting consumption. In M, Stalin married for the second time - at the hope of Alliluyeva, who committed suicide in the Kremlin apartment of Stalin in the year.

The funeral of Ekaterina Svanidze, the first wife of Joseph Dzhugashvili, is extreme on the right. The assessments of the personality and reign of Joseph Stalin was an extremely complex and contradictory historical person. Doctor of Historical Sciences Vladimir Nevgin notes that he had an excellent memory, firm character, perseverance, the ability of a publicist, high performance, organizational talent, the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances, a combination of cunning with extreme caution.

Stalin possessed the undoubted instinct of power and showed special flexibility and deep intuition in everything that concerned the struggle for power by most party leaders of the lower link as an experienced, self -confident functionar who occupied a strong position at the head of the party hierarchy. At the same time, the non -enjoying aspects of the personality of Stalin also notes: rudeness, intolerance, cruelty, unconditional readiness for violence on any scale as a method of solving political, social and economic problems.

All these qualities were organically combined with a tendency to paternalism, manic suspicion and hypertrophied resentment. Joseph Stalin on the left and Nikita Khrushchev welcome participants in the Pervomaisky demonstration on the rostrum of the Mausoleum V. He learned a lot from Lenin, especially the determination and sequence in pushing his own action program. Oleg Khlevnyuk agrees with this: Stalin in general, by his own type, was a very cautious and conservative person, a dogma according to the memoirs of the Stalinist secretary Boris Bazhanov, during the intra -party discussions about the strategic ways of development of the USSR, Stalin chose primitive, but effective tactics: to be silent during the discussion, and after its completion, and after it was completed, and after it was completed, and after it was completed, and after it was completed.

The most simple and compressed form to formulate the opinion of the majority. As a result, many of his colleagues are gradually accustomed to the fact that Stalin's opinion is the opinion of the party. Doctor of Historical Sciences Vladimir Buldakov believes that Stalin’s personality as a tyrant was largely isomorphic to the expectations of the masses. Assessing the characteristics of his personality, Buldakov is not shy in the formulations and calls Stalin a flawed and notorious creature.

According to the historian, he was noticeably different from the self -confident and not afraid of Lenin, who, despite all his actions, proceeded from Ethos of Enlightenment. Stalin, on the contrary, relied on tradition. The results of Stalin’s reign were disappointing “behind the facade of the powerful superpower, a cruel and in many respects, a weak regime, which could not even feed the population of a large country, and most importantly, did not have clear development prospects,” said Oleg Khlevnyuk.

He recalls that even the most conservative Stalinists in the highest party leadership, like Molotov, Voroshilov and Kaganovich, understood the need for change after Stalin's death. Joseph Stalin with children Svetlana and Vasily Photo: RIA Novosti according to the historian, everyone saw serious problems in the economy and monstrous tension, which came from mass repressions, a huge Gulag, but a difficult international situation bothered the Stalinist successors.

A similar opinion is shared by Alexander Shubin.He believes that the prerequisites for the changes in the USSR were to the death of Stalin, but the decolinization turned out to be an irreversible process only after the XX Congress of the CPSU, when the denial of its terrorist policy became public and official. Stalin, historian Kirill Alexandrov, is even more unambiguously evaluated by the rule of Stalin.

In his opinion, in the future, Stalin turned out to be a political bankrupt. The historian explains this like this: Lenin created the Soviet state, Stalin gave it comprehensive forms, but this state did not exist forty years after the death of Stalin. By historical standards - an insignificant term.
