Stalin's speech
Friends! Followers! People of Russia! You know who I am. I am the man who will make your lives great. I am the man who cares for this country – and for its people. I will not stand in the background and let you all fall – I will not become a ghastly dictator.
I intend to make this country strong; to be able to fend off our enemies. I intend to do things quickly enough but giving the time to think the plans over and making sure they are the best they could ever possibly be. Hear me out!

Socialism in One Country:
In my opinion Socialism in One Country is the right theory to go by. I strongly promote this theory because if socialism has a strong foothold in one country then other countries will soon follow suit and it will spread like wild fire. If you do not have one country that has successfully mastered socialism then it may then become overthrown. How could you possibly think that following Trotsky’s idea that global socialism and communism will make a socialist country survive when it is fenced by capitalist countries!!!
I believe that this great rift among the Bolsheviks/Communists should come to an end! DO this by following my viewpoint and defend my theory with me! You will be greatly rewarded.

Views on the NEP and Industrialisation
Unlike my opposition Trotsky, I am more on the conservative side of the Communist Party and so advocate for a state run capitalist economy. Because of this I managed to wrestle control of the Communist Party from the grasps off Trotsky.
However! However… I have applied the FIRST Five-Year Plan due to reversing my opinion about this economic policy. I have switched in favour of Collectivization as a result of supporting NEP against my rival Leon Trotsky.
This is because I hope that the USSR’s industrial base will be able to reach the level of the capitalist countries in the West, which will then prevent them from being beaten in a future war. EITHER WE DO IT, OR WE SHALL BE CRUSHED!

    The NEP, having links and similarities between Capitalist and Communist ideas, were opposed by the Communists between the Bolsheviks themselves. This was because they believed the NEP wasn’t totally Communist policy which aggravated some members of the Communist party. They were also worried that a conflict of interest would cause splits between the parties would only be inflicting damage to themselves. Many Bolsheviks resigned mainly because the NEP was a massive withdrawal from the previous policy which was based on pure Communist ideology. The NEP gave the peasants more freedom by allowing them to gain their own profits through their private ownership.…

    Everyone is a product of their circumstance, yet, consequential individuals can shape events within their times. Leon Trotsky, key member of the Russian Bolshevik party in the early 20th century, exemplifies this statement. Born into a period of turbulent change socially and politically, due to the Russian industrial revolution, Trotsky was shaped by his context and events in early life. However, it is to a greater extent that Trotsky was a significant player and shaper of events within his times, being the November revolution of 1917 and the Russian civil war. Yet, as fervor for change lessened, so did Trotsky’s prominence; he was too associated with International Marxism to adapt to the new world.…

    The “Iron Curtain” speech by Winston Churchill and the election speech of Joseph Stalin contain the similarity that they both are telling the audience what should and has happened. In Winston Churchill’s speech he outlines what has happened throughout World War II and the Cold War and how he thinks it should be handled and dealt with. In Joseph Stalin’s speech he relays a similar time line while also including the Soviet Unions timeline and election history.…

    Russia was torn between the world war and the population was threatened as levels of starvation rose whilst industry fell. The provisional government could not do much to stop Russia plummeting as they did not have much power and the people of Russia failed to support them (1). The citizens of Russia were desperately looking for help and the Bolshevik party, created with the help of Lenin and Trotsky in the year 1917, had the answer. Slowly, they had managed to become one of the most powerful parties ever created, but many factors were to cause the consolidation of power. In this essay I will be comparing the significance of Vladimir Lenin in the Bolshevik consolidation of power with another important factor; Leon Trotsky.…

    Socialism is the idea of a social organization that supports production, distribution, and trade that should be controlled within the community itself. There are many aspects of socialism that are unique, setting it apart from other social systems in the world. The ‘social’ aspect of socialism gives evidence to the fact that in the system, everyone in society is expected to contribute to the economic production of the state. In socialized health care, everyone pays the government and those who need care, get it without paying extra. Citizens all have to pay the same amount and have access to the same benefits. The problem this system runs into, however, is that there often is not enough money to go around. People tend to become greedy when they see that some things are free and then start to abuse the system. According to Einstein the real purpose is “…precisely…

    Aglaya's Response To Stalin

    • 2546 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Her opinion was not unusual at the time. Stalin was the leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953. Stalin was, essentially, the whole of the government. As Aglaya states, “Stalin was the Party, and the Party was Stalin (Voinovich, 23).” And the Party, at this time, had broad and general appeal. The Soviet citizen “...expected the state to provide a wide range of social benefits and services, as well as job security, and they approved the regime's stated welfare objectives (Bushnell, 362).” More importantly, the Party fulfilled these expectations. It redistributed resources. It intervened, should a business go bankrupt. The party nationalized industries and created jobs. Basic needs were provided for. Stalin gave workers a feeling of empowerment; there was no boss; there was just the state and the worker. With no sector of the population based entirely on money, social mobility was “exceptionally high (Vovchenko, 2/21).” As Aglaya undoubtedly appreciated, women were empowered. Daycare was made free. Through the collectivization of agriculture, food production increased during the 1940s and 1950s. The party was responsible for, in short, all aspects of the economic and social development of the nation (Ibid). The state was the only agent capable of providing the…

    Khrushchev’s vilification of Stalin in his address to the Twentieth Party Congress was meticulous in detailing precise failures of his predecessor’s rule. Above all, Khrushchev strongly elaborated on Stalin’s extremities, especially the cult of personality that he had built up over the years. The speech also in turn attacked ‘Stalinist repressions, arrests, terror and murders…[and] for bungling foreign affairs and mishandling the war’. Despite this, Khrushchev was cautious in limiting his other criticisms of Stalin, and it was this focus on him as an individual rather than of the overall Soviet system that defined the boundaries of acceptable criticism. As such, the speech sought to condemn Stalin without endangering the party’s validity or the system that had indeed allowed Khrushchev to rise to power.…

    At the time, Stalin seemed like he was the greatest person on Earth. He made himself seem as if he was above everybody, both physically and mentally. After all of the revolts that were occurring in Russia, he just took over. He went into power right after Lenin had died and took his place, over Trotsky who also wanted to rule over Russia. Well he didn’t and we can’t change that. All we can do is remember Stalin and remember all of the things he did to make people support him and his cause to industrialize Russia.…

    Your favor of the 20th instant has been duly received and contents noted. I have also read the platitudinous and unconvincing enclosure, which sets up [a] straw man to be knocked down, but carefully avoids the [more] serious facts. Even in this enclosure it is interesting to note that the one "statesman-like" man in and out of office name is Senator Borch, author of the utterly mendacious speech in the interests of communism at the Chicago meeting gotten up two years ago by the Communist American Civil Liberties Union. This speech gave great comfort to the Communists and other enemies of the country, and its mendacity was freely quoted by them in support of their aims. Senator Barah had every opportunity to correct this mendacity, but did not do so. I would have had no doubt that the WILPF would find an ardent sympathizer in him. Both play into the hands of the Russian Communists. I note, too, that you refer to the red "New Republic," which I would also expect to support the WILPF.…

    Joseph Stalin was one of key figures in 20th century history. He transformed Russia during his time in power. In this essay, I will be discussing the violence Joseph Stalin had imposed against the Soviet Union and the world. Stalin had a long life and a long political career too. Stalin started off studying the marxist revolution and later spent his time and attention towards the revolutionary movement against the Russian monarchy (Gellately, 2013). Stalin later became an activist for fifteen years. Finally, he was a dictator of Soviet Russia from 1929 right up until his death in 1953 (Gellately, 2013). He transformed Russia from a minor rural country into a great and powerful industrial nation. Stalin was the most vicious politician…

    On 24-26 October, the Bolshevik Party seized power from Kerensky’s Provisional Government. This was achieved with surprising ease. Retaining their newly acquired power, however, was to prove difficult. Nonetheless, the Bolsheviks proved successful in consolidating their power from 1917-1924, achieving this through a combination of pragmatic reforms and ruthless terror. This ultimately led the Bolsheviks far from their original goals and ideologies, and by 1924, the Soviet Union was a highly centralised one-party state.…
