The Red Emperor. Stalin gave rise to the formation of a new civilization and society. In the USSR-Russia, a society of knowledge, service and creation was created. This was the civilization of the future.
Stalin is a priest-leader who creates a new society and culture
When you watch films of the Stalinist era, you pay attention to the fact that the heroes of that time are sharply different from those of today. This is a completely different level. Heroes of the Soviet era are filled with light energy, they are creators, creators, teachers, engineers, scientists, discoverers, warriors. They do not have the disease of the era of consumption, the "golden calf". In the first place, the people of that great era have completely different values. First of all, service to Soviet society, the Motherland, the accumulation of comprehensive knowledge and creation. It is a society of knowledge, service and creation. Our modern society is a copy of the Western society (which has become global) of consumption and self-destruction.
Thus, despite the intensive construction of new churches, mosques and other places of worship, modern Russia is very much inferior in morality and spirit from the Stalinist Union. Suffice it to recall your experience of communicating with front-line soldiers or home front workers, people who lived at that amazing time when the children of peasants became marshals, designers and aces pilots. They are simple, bright and strong people. I recall the words of Lermontov: "Yes, there were people in our time, Not like the current tribe: Heroes are not you!"
How did Stalin manage to create such a society?
By the time the Stalinist course began, Russian (Soviet) society was very sick and disfigured. In fact, these were the remnants of the destroyed "old Russia" of the 1913 model. These remnants and debris interacted little or little with each other. Moreover, they had exactly opposite interests. In particular, the smoldering war between town and country, which was ready to become a full-scale second peasant war and finish off Russia. There were also many conflicts within the city and village. Thus, there were contradictions between the new, red bureaucracy, the NEP (new bourgeoisie) and the bulk of the half-impoverished population; contradictions between the kulaks and the peasant poor; between the surviving stratum of "former" - qualified specialists, the intelligentsia and the masses of the semi-literate population, etc.
But even that was not the worst thing. The catastrophe of 1917 and the subsequent turmoil destroyed morality, work ethics, the church, which even as a screen hid the shortcomings of society, was practically dared (a significant part of society, even under the Romanovs, turned away from the church, which had lost the fiery spirit of truth). Society is accustomed to death, violence, expropriation, weaned from constructive labor. Industrial activity was now viewed as hard labor, unbearable labor service. Productive daily work, adherence to social moral standards, and internal culture were destroyed. The majority of the population has disappeared from the internal regulators of social life. The man was now ready for anything, there were no internal prohibitions. Suffice it to recall the experiments of a part of the Soviet "creative" intelligentsia in the 1920s with "free love" (even before the sexual revolution in the West in the 1960s). Therefore, after the civilizational catastrophe of 1917, society could not be returned to work and creation without violence. This is the phenomenon of Stalin's "cleansing" and repression, which were generally cleansing and led to the creation of a stronger and healthier society.
The materialization of the new reality meant not only the creation of a material basis (factories, factories, collective farms, schools, laboratories, institutes, etc.), but the creation of a new society. Stalin realized that it was impossible to create a new society without giving it a common cause. This common cause was the reorganization of the country's life in a creative way. Industrialization, collectivization, scientific and technological revolution, the creation of advanced armed forces. A common cause then could be done on the basis of fear, interest and faith in a bright future.
Stalin harbored no illusions about the Soviet people of the 1920s. This society has been poisoned by revolution, civil war and terror. The people, infinitely far from the ideals of a bright future (a new "golden age", civilization and society of the future), could be propelled to superhuman efforts only by two methods - coercion and creation of an attractive image of the future. Coercion became the lever that set the system in motion, gave the initial impetus, and provided the first results. Coercion was carried out in a variety of ways: harsh repressive collectivization, a super-harsh system of punishments for any wrongdoing, forced labor of prisoners, hard work for little remuneration (for example, on collective farms).
These were very tough methods. But without them, the peoples of the Russian (Soviet) civilization were doomed to historical defeat and disappearance from the planet. Without them, the USSR would not have carried out collectivization and industrialization, would not have created a powerful military-industrial complex and advanced armed forces, would not have been able to withstand the Second World War, and became a victim of Germany, Japan, the United States and England. Already in the mid-1930s, when industry was booming, a powerful system of material incentives appeared. There was money for bonuses, products, goods and services for which they could be spent. The best workers, employees, tankers, pilots, etc. were encouraged.
Thus, coercion in the Stalinist system is not the result of the bloodthirstiness of the Soviet leader and his entourage, or an innate property of communism, as Western liberals are trying to explain to us, but a vital necessity. Coercion and brutal methods stemmed from the catastrophe of 1917 and the desperate plight of the USSR-Russia in the 1920s and early 1930s. Stalin was not a villain, an executioner. As soon as the opportunity arose to reward people for their hard work and achievements, Stalin immediately began to use the "carrot". And the further, the more. So, since 1947, prices for goods have been regularly reduced.
At the same time, it is necessary to forget the lie of the liberals that under Stalin a general leveling reigned (it was introduced by Khrushchev), that everyone was equally poor. Stalinist society was efficient and varied. So under Stalin, they purposefully created an imperial, national elite. It did not include "responsible businessmen", billionaires selling their homeland, not professional actor-actors, a pop-party, as in modern Russia, but designers, engineers, scientists, professors, doctors, teachers, pilots, officers, generals, skilled workers (labor aristocracy). They received big salaries, better housing, access to additional benefits of life. Under Stalin, the professors lived better than the allied ministers. The real forges of the Soviet elite were the Suvorov and Nakhimov schools.
Under Khrushchev, all this will be destroyed. The basic principle of socialism "to each according to his work" will be violated, equalization will be organized, when an engineer will receive the same or even less than an ordinary worker. No matter how much you work, you won't get more than your rate. The growth of wages was frozen, but production rates began to grow. Under the "damned" Stalin, how much he earned, he received so much (at least a million). The principle was clearly adhered to: the higher the qualifications, the more income. Therefore, people had an incentive to learn and work better. And the production rates rose depending on the introduction of new capacities, technologies and equipment in production. Under Khrushchev, the popular Stalinist socialism was destroyed, the imperial elite began to be squeezed out by the party officials, whose degeneration led to the catastrophe of 1985-1991.
The Stalin era was a time of scientific and technological revolution, a breakthrough into the future. This is the "golden age" of inventors and developers of complex technologies. Under Stalin, we create and develop the nuclear industry, our own original computers, electronics, aircraft and rocketry. Russia has become a superpower, a civilization of the future. All this is the result of social engineering of the red emperor-priest.
Civilization of the future
Stalin used not only coercion and reward, but also a new culture to create the society of the future. Films, songs, books, magazines (only "Technology for Youth" - the whole world!), Houses of culture and creativity. And no matter what they say “about the bloody executioner”, Stalin managed to create a magical civilization of the future. To achieve unprecedented unity of the people, their earnest faith, which turned into battle rage and selfless labor. The Russian (Soviet) civilization was able to overthrow another magical civilization - the Third Reich, which was fed by the energy of the "black sun", "the dark side of power."
It is clear that faith in a bright future was shared by the entire Soviet people. The old generations, psychologically disfigured by the First World War, revolution and turmoil, for the most part did not believe in anything, were tired, tried only to survive, survive, and settle down well. Belief in a bright tomorrow was only among the communists (and even then not all, there were opportunists), young generations.
Stalin understood that the new reality will triumph only when it becomes the only one for the overwhelming majority of the population. When the bulk of the people believe in this future. And it will bring it closer, strive for it. Give all your strength for the sake of a dream, and if necessary, and life. There was no other way to create a new civilization. Therefore, the main thing was not coercion and not material interest, but the education of people. The older generations were largely lost. The main hopes were in the youth.
The fame of Stalin as the best friend of children was true. Children and youth have become the real elite of the Soviet Union. The happy land of childhood is the absolute truth about the youth policy of the Stalinist government. They gave all the best to children and youth. Throughout the entire red empire, a whole system was created to educate new generations: pioneer camps, health resorts, houses of creativity and culture, art and music schools, planetariums and stadiums. Everything so that children, schoolchildren and students can show and develop their abilities, explore the world, engage in science, culture, art, prepare for work and defense. Houses with white columns were rightfully called palaces of pioneers and schoolchildren, as the children themselves called them. Huge money was spent on science, upbringing, education, physical and intellectual development. A cult of youth, education, strength and purity has been created.
The effect was amazing. The generations of the 1920s were selflessly devoted to their socialist homeland. The first fully literate and educated generations for the most part sincerely loved Stalin and the USSR. Soviet power made it possible for tens of millions of young men and women to realize their creative, human potential. These were people of the highest standard. It is not surprising that the Great Patriotic War gave many thousands of examples when border guards, tankmen, pilots, sailors, artillerymen and infantrymen fought to the last, even being doomed and having no chance of victory. They believed in a common victory! When they talked about these heroes, the younger generations were taught by their examples. The current heroes are elite prostitutes and bandits.
In the same way, the Soviet people showed miracles in their work. Thanks to the heroism and labor of the Soviet people, the country withstood and gained the upper hand in a terrible war, was able to recover in the shortest possible time and again rushed forward into the future. Stalin's merit is that he was able to impart such faith and dedication to society. The Soviet leader gave the new Russian civilization an imperial style everywhere - in cinema, architecture, music, painting and technology (T-34). It just takes your breath away when you dream about what heights we could have achieved thanks to this, if not for the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. (a significant part of the new Stalinist generations perished in it) and not Khrushchev's "perestroika".
That is why that great era caused the emergence of popular Stalinism in modern Russia. Too sharply the great pictures of the past contrast with the pictures of the wretched present of the Russian Federation. The experience of the Stalinist empire is the basis for the future revival of great Russia.
