Old Russia died in the cruel agony of 1914-1920. It was impossible to restore it. The white movement tried to restore the old Russia, without autocracy, but the white project (liberal-bourgeois, pro-Western) failed completely. The people did not accept him, and the whites suffered a terrible defeat.
The only way out was to create a new society, state and civilization based on the basic principles of the Russian matrix-code, that is, social justice and ethics of conscience. This is the essence of the Stalin phenomenon and the new wave of his popularity in modern Russia. The people at the level of the general subconscious feel that it was the red emperor who groped for the correct, correct path of development of Russia, which led civilization and the people into the future, to a new qualitatively different level of development. The country then needed a qualitative breakthrough, a leap into the future. It was necessary to jump into the "bright future", otherwise - a new catastrophe and the final death of the Russian civilization and the multi-thousand-year Russian super-ethnos. It was this great mission that fell to the lot of the former seminarian, professional revolutionary and self-taught, who studied all his life. Stalin began building the empire of the future, supercivilization and a new society of knowledge, service and creation.
To understand Stalin and his time, it is necessary to look at the time when he had to take on the burden of power. 1920s. Russia barely emerged from the horror of the world massacre, bloody turmoil and intervention. Millions of victims, refugees, beggars and cripples. The catastrophe of the previous development project almost killed the Russian civilization and the country. The Bolsheviks literally miraculously saved the country and people from death. But the situation was extremely difficult. The economy and transport are in disrepair. The industry has collapsed, degraded, the industrial upsurge of the beginning of the 20th century is long in the past. Not a single large enterprise, power plant has been created, there are no large-scale construction projects for transport projects. The gold reserves have been plundered and lost. Huge capital and financial resources were withdrawn abroad by representatives of the former elite, the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie, the White Guards and the very representatives of the Leninist guard. Agriculture was recovering with difficulty, but on the whole the village is still in the past - there are very few tractors and mechanized implements, at best horses are used, at worst - their own forces. Most of the peasant farms live on subsistence farming, on self-feeding. The village lives in poverty, starving. At the same time, a layer of well-to-do owners, kulaks, who exploit farm laborers, stands out. Soviet Russia in isolation. The West does not need a strong Russia. There is no external investment, as well as no access to advanced technologies. The USSR was supposed to become an underdeveloped country, where the industry would develop mainly in the extraction of resources, light, food industry. The country is mostly agrarian, like the Russian Empire.
The Soviet, party elite in such a situation could become a semi-colonial administration, which would harshly suppress any discontent of the people with the help of the Cheka, the Red Army and special forces (often non-Russian - Latvians, Hungarians, Chinese, etc.), gradually turning Russia into a semi-colony of the West and East (Japan). At the same time, the party elite itself will bathe in luxury, will become a new elite, which has access to travel abroad, the purchase of foreign property, luxury goods, they are entitled to special supplies, and goods for the “elite” will be purchased in currency for the sale of resources. Their children will study in the best schools in Europe, etc. The best factories and mines, deposits and forests were transferred to Western and Japanese companies in perpetual concessions. In particular, among such Western concessionaires was the famous "official friend" of the USSR, Armand Hammer, who in the 1920s and early 1930s bought and exported from Russia Gokhran jewelry, antiques, paintings, sculptures from the Hermitage at bargain prices. The country was supposed to become a supplier of grain, other agricultural products, timber, oil, metals, and at the same time a sales market for foreign goods. All this will be implemented after 1991, but could have become a reality already in the 1920s-1930s.
Thus, the USSR could become a typical finished country, a state without a future. And the ruling communist party, which replaced the noble-bourgeois elite of the Russian Empire, could become a semi-colonial administration that fed the people with tales of a "bright future." In Soviet Russia, according to the plans of the masters of the West, they would build a testing ground for a pseudo-communist, Marxist model of a pyramidal society, at the base of which the mute and disenfranchised masses (slaves), and at the top, revolutionaries-internationalists associated with the global mafia (the so-called "financial international "," world behind the scenes ", etc.). Later, this model could be extended to most of the planet - the "world revolution". This model was represented in the USSR by the internationalist revolutionaries, supporters of Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev and other party leaders.
It was this legacy that went to Joseph Dzhugashvili - the future red emperor, the last emperor of Russia-USSR. He got a completely finished, killed country. He could safely enjoy life, a luxury available to the party elite. To equip yourself, family and friends with "alternate airfields" in Western countries. Build connections with Western "friends and partners" in Italy, Germany, France and the United States.
By all objective, analytical estimates, it turned out that with the current situation ahead - the final death of civilization and the country. For another two or three decades, the party elite could use enormous raw materials and a thousand-year cultural and historical heritage (priceless artifacts of Russian history, art objects, etc.) for personal enrichment and creating capital for the well-fed and beautiful life of their families in the West or East. But Russia-USSR had no future of the beginning - the mid-1920s. Then there was either a long and painful agony with economic stagnation, with hunger and spontaneous urban and peasant riots, uprisings, hunger, mass epidemics, the falling away of national outskirts, the seizure of a number of territories by neighbors. Or rather quick death from economic collapse, new turmoil, and military defeat from any great power - Japan, Germany, or a coalition of powers. In Europe during this period, aggressive authoritarian, militaristic, Nazi and fascist states were formed, which was associated with the beginning of the second stage of the crisis of capitalism. That's why the military collapse of Soviet Russia, de-industrialized, agrarian-peasant, without a strong economy and, accordingly, a modern army was obvious and inevitable. Virtually all of Russia's neighbors of that time had territorial claims to it, hoped for its potentially rich lands and resources, and wished to build their great powers at the expense of Russian lands. Among the contenders for Russian territories were Japan, Finland, Poland, Germany, Romania, Turkey. Russia could only be saved by a miracle, a breakthrough into the future, into a new technological and civilizational order.
It seemed that in the second half of the 1920s the worst predictions were beginning to come true. The New Economic Policy (NEP) has stabilized the situation, but has exhausted its positive aspects. In 1927, the grain procurement crisis began. Cities with their outdated, weak industry could not provide the village with all the necessary goods. The village refuses to sell grain. We have to reintroduce ration cards. The village is on the verge of a new peasant war and famine. Cities continue to decay - unemployment (people flee from city to village where they can live by subsistence farming), poverty, masses of beggars and beggars, homeless people, orphans. A new wave of crime. The Golden Calf, a novel by Ilf and Petrov, perfectly conveyed all this atmosphere of theft and deception that pervaded the then Russia. The dominance of the Soviet bureaucracy, which surpassed the tsarist bureaucracy in terms of the number of eaters. The fusion of the party-Soviet apparatus with organized crime began. In the party elite, there is a tough confrontation over the future of the USSR.
At the same time, the people themselves as a whole were drained of blood by the world war, revolution and the ensuing turmoil, bloody massacre and terror. Human capital was at an extremely low level. Millions of people have died or fled abroad. The collapse of Russia of the Romanovs was accompanied by a psycho-catastrophe. People did not believe and were afraid of the future, their psychology was shaped by the world and civil wars, that is, by a terrible wave of violence, fear and a lot of blood. The old ethics of morality and work were destroyed. The great evil that broke free in 1917 only calmed down a little and was ready to flood the country again. In Russia there was a whole army of revolutionaries who knew only how to destroy: the state, the church, "outdated" morality, "outdated" art, culture and history. There was an intelligentsia, which for a century had been brought up in love for the West and hatred for Russia, nihilism, unbelief, and did not know how to create. In the country there were hundreds of thousands of fighters of the World War and the Civil War, former "green" bandits, anarchists who knew the taste of anarchy, robbery and murder with impunity, red heroes accustomed to freedom, rallies, forced to lay down their arms Basmachi and nationalists, etc. The potential for another explosion was enormous. It took literally a miracle to channel this huge destructive potential, black energy into a creative channel.
Thus, Russia of the 1920s was quickly sliding towards a new turmoil., civil and peasant war, great blood, collapse and hunger. Ahead is again the separation of the national borderlands, savage massacres and the invasion of neighbors. In particular, Finland, where the radicals dream of a “Great Finland” up to the Northern Urals (the minimum program is the seizure of the entire Karelia and the Kola Peninsula); Poland, which is not enough in Western Belarus and Western Ukraine. A new invasion of Japan in Primorye, in the Far East, mountains of corpses. The arrival of white emigrants, who still retained their combat capability, and all this time were accumulating hatred and preparing for a new war. They were preparing for revenge and reprisals against the enemy, they did not have a creative program.
There were no scenarios for saving the country in the programs of the whites, the right and left opposition in the Communist Party, or the ideas of the economists of old Russia. All alternatives to the tough Stalinist course led in the end to even greater victims among the people than was the case in real history. They ended in an imminent new disaster modeled on 1917. and the complete disintegration of the country and civilization already in the 1930s. The detonator for the final collapse of Russia was either an external invasion, a lost war, or the confusion of contradictions between the government and the people, city and country, which reached a new civilizational battle.
That is, the great sacrifices that Russia and the people made for the sake of salvation were inevitable. The difference was that under the Stalinist course the sacrifices were meaningful, expedient - a new reality was created, a new world-civilization was built, a society of the future. Sacrifices were made for the sake of common development and prosperity, for the sake of a breakthrough into the future. In other scenarios of development (the victory of the internationalist revolutionaries, Trotskyists, whites, etc.)all the sacrifices became meaningless and in vain, as they led to the complete and final destruction of the Russian civilization and the super-ethnos of the Rus (Russians).
Thus, Stalin managed to do the almost impossible. He not only kept Russia on the brink of a new catastrophe, but made a breakthrough into the future. Created a new reality, a new civilization and a society of the future. He opened for the Russian civilization and the people, for all mankind the door to the future, another "sunny" world of the "beautiful distant". Therefore, his image is so popular in Russia, if the people do not understand at the level of consciousness, then they feel at the level of the general subconscious that only a similar breakthrough can save civilization from final degradation and collapse. The last emperor went against all forecasts and calculations, all external and internal enemies of Russia-USSR and won!
