Stalin about the Russian people. Why did Stalin edit his text?

Joseph Stalin made this famous speech two weeks after the defeat of Nazi Germany, on May 24, 1945, at a gala reception in the Kremlin on the occasion Great Victory. Stalin invited everyone present to raise a toast to the great Russian people, who bore the heavy burden of war on their shoulders.

Some researchers, primarily of a liberal persuasion, believe that with this speech Stalin once again tried... to humiliate the Russians!

According to these historians, the Soviet leader allegedly decided to emphasize the “centuries-old slave psychology of the Russian people.” They say that this people, despite all the mistakes of the rulers, can be exploited and humiliated indefinitely, and they still will not protest. Here is how a professor-historian from Samara, a certain Grigory Burdei, wrote about this:

“Such an idea of a powerless, humiliated people is entirely consistent with Stalin’s desire to build a state with a non-economic administrative-command system”...

How valid are such conclusions?

Trust and trust

Probably, before judging, we should take a closer look at those words spoken back in 1945. Here is what Stalin said verbatim:

“Comrades, allow me to raise one more, final toast.

I, as a representative of our Soviet government, would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people.

I drink, first of all, to the health of the Russian people because they are the most outstanding nation of all the nations that make up Soviet Union.

I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people because in this war they have earned and have previously earned the title, if you like, of the leading force of our Soviet Union among all the peoples of our country.

I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people, not only because they are the leading people, but also because they have common sense, general political common sense and patience.

Our government made many mistakes; we had moments of despair in 1941-42, when our army retreated, left our native villages and cities in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Leningrad region, Karelo-Finnish Republic, left because there was no other way out. Some other people could say: you did not live up to our hopes, we will install another government that will make peace with Germany and provide us with peace. This could happen, keep in mind.

But the Russian people did not agree to this, the Russian people did not compromise, they showed unlimited trust in our government. I repeat, we made mistakes, for the first two years our army was forced to retreat, it turned out that we did not master the events, did not cope with the situation that had arisen. However, the Russian people believed, endured, waited and hoped that we would still cope with the events.

For this trust in our government that the Russian people have shown us, we thank them greatly!

For the health of the Russian people!”

You know, I didn’t find anything derogatory for the Russian people in this speech. Personally, I got the impression that these words were spoken sincerely, on behalf of a cruel, but still grateful person who went through the harsh trials of a terrible war. In his diaries, one of Stalin’s closest associates, Lavrentiy Beria, wrote: “I simply cannot stand another war like this.” One can imagine what a test and what a strain the war years were for the country’s leadership, when the very existence of our statehood was called into question.

What can we say about the common people! But these people did not flinch, gritted their teeth in the cruel hard times of war and rallied around their rulers, entrusting them with their fate and the fate of the entire Fatherland. And the rulers fully justified this trust, giving the people their due in Stalin’s victory speech.

It is noteworthy that the leader raised a toast not just to the Soviet people, but specifically to the Russians. This is no coincidence. With all the deep respect for other peoples, it is the Russians who are objectively the backbone of our statehood; it is their lot that falls to the most severe trials and tribulations in turning points our history. So it was in the revolutionary era of the beginning of the last century, so it was during the years of the great war, so it was in the recent hard times of the collapse of Soviet statehood, when the Russian people, in fact, found themselves dismembered - over 25 million Russian-speaking citizens found themselves outside of Russia.

Alas, in our entire history, only Stalin found the courage to speak openly about this. And this despite the fact that he himself was Georgian! Neither before him nor after him, none of our rulers decided to publicly pay tribute to the Russian people as the basis of Russian statehood. All of them, in difficult moments in history, when they had to address people directly, preferred to hide behind calls to abstract “dear Soviet citizens” or “dear Russians”...

This extraordinary act of Stalin became quite logical in his political biography.

People and power

Paradoxically, Stalin belonged to the Bolshevik Party, where the positions of various kinds of Russophobes were traditionally strong, dreaming of a world revolution and considering Russia to be just, in the words of one of the Bolshevik leaders Leon Trotsky, a “bundle of firewood” that should be thrown into this revolutionary fire. Here is what the famous Moscow historian Alexander Vdovin writes about the official ideology of the first post-revolutionary years:

“The greatest ideological influence in the 20s was enjoyed by the historical school of Academician M.N. Pokrovsky. The historians of this school, in full accordance with the guidelines of the Comintern... believed that patriotism can be nothing other than official and leavened, nothing other than nationalism and chauvinism... In Pokrovsky’s school, the very concepts of “Russia” were questioned and denied, “patriotism”, “Russian history...”.

For any patriotic slogans in those days one could pay not only with freedom, but even with life, being accused of counter-revolutionary propaganda.

However, life itself destroyed the global dreams of the revolutionaries. After 1925, it became clear that no world revolution was in sight in the foreseeable future. That is, the Bolsheviks had to build socialism in one country. And without the support of the people, without their patriotic feelings, power in this country may not be maintained. Moreover, the international situation became more complicated every year - the Nazis came to power in Germany, who did not hide their desires to build their Third Reich primarily at the expense of vast Russian territories.

War was inevitable. And the question arose: under what slogans would it be carried out? It was clear that Russians would definitely not die for the “world revolution and the interests of the world proletariat.” And then the question arose about the revival of Russian national identity within the framework of socialist ideas...

Back in February 1931, speaking at the All-Union Conference of Socialist Industry Workers, Stalin called for a return to the concept of the Fatherland, which the Soviet people would soon have to defend. In 1934, at the request of Stalin, the teaching of national history, abolished by the Red Russophobes in the early 20s, was returned to secondary schools. From that time on, in the words of the historian Vdovin, the concepts of patriotism and love for one’s Motherland were elevated to the rank of the highest valor of a Soviet person.

And the next year, 1935, the Bolshevik Party officially condemned its entire previous ideology, based on national nihilism. At the same time, those Red leaders who had not yet understood that Russia had ceased to be a “bundle of firewood” for the world revolution were severely beaten. So, at the very beginning of 1936, one of the party leaders Nikolai Bukharin published an article in the Izvestia newspaper where he mockingly mocked “backwardness” pre-revolutionary Russia and its “poor”, in his words, peoples. He generally called the Russians “the Oblomov nation,” that is, a people of idle dreamers.

The Pravda newspaper reacted very sharply to this publication. Its editor, an old associate of Stalin, Lev Mehlis, wrote the following words:

“Only lovers of verbal tricks, who know little about Leninism, can claim that in our country “Oblomovism was the most universal character trait,” and the Russian people were “the Oblomov nation.” The people who gave the world such geniuses as Lomonosov, Lobachevsky, Popov, Pushkin, Chernyshevsky, Mendeleev... - the people who carried out the October Revolution under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party - such a people can only be called the “Oblomov nation” by a person who is not aware of in what he says."

Further, Mehlis quite rightly compared Bukharin’s opuses with fascist propaganda, in which Russians were portrayed as “racially inferior people.” The frightened Bukharin immediately realized who actually started an argument with him through the editor-in-chief of Pravda, and did not find anything to say in response.

Dream and protect

In the matter of reviving Russian patriotism, Stalin proceeded not only from purely pragmatic goals. After all, he was one of those Bolsheviks who had a negative attitude towards any form of Russophobia. It is not surprising, all these people - Stalin, Frunze, Voroshilov, Kirov, etc. - carried out their revolutionary activities not in political emigration abroad (like Trotsky or Bukharin), but in the dangerous conditions of the underground in the territory Russian Empire. They always had to move among ordinary Russian people, communicate with them, and use their services. These revolutionaries knew and loved the people well and appreciated them. best qualities. Based on their convictions, they considered Russians to be the true revolutionary leaders of the socialist movement throughout the world.

Back in March 1917, a few months before the October Revolution, Stalin wrote in one of his articles that the great Russian people are the most faithful and best ally of progressive revolutionary forces. Stalin developed this idea after the Bolsheviks came to power. On May 2, 1933, at a meeting with participants in the May Day military parade, he said the following:

“The Russians are the main nationality of the world, they were the first to raise the flag of the Soviets... The Russian nation is the most talented nation in the world. Previously, the Russians were beaten by everyone - the Turks and even the Tatars, who attacked for 200 years, and they did not manage to capture the Russians, although they were poorly armed. If the Russians are armed with tanks, aircraft, and a navy, they are invincible.”

And a few years later, in November 1939, during a conversation with Soviet diplomat Alexandra Kollontai, Stalin emphasized:

“The Russian people are a great people. Russians are kind people. The Russian has a clear mind, it is as if he was born to help other nations. The Russian people are characterized by great courage, especially in difficult times, in dangerous times. He is proactive. He has a persistent character. He's a dreamy bunch. He has a purpose. That’s why it’s harder for him than for other nations. But you can rely on him in any trouble.”

And when this disaster struck in 1941, Stalin called on the Red Army soldiers leaving for the front to fight not for communism, but for Russia, inspired by the images of our great ancestors - Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov. The people believed Stalin and together with him they pulled out this terrible war.

The Russian people can only be recognized as great by a person who is great himself and is therefore free from the petty envy of those who, deep down in their souls, consider themselves small and humiliated, are only afraid to admit it to themselves and therefore always blame others. This is a very serious act for a person who has undertaken to govern a country like Russia. Maybe that's why the people trusted Stalin so much, despite all his mistakes?

“As is known,” Stalin raised a toast to the Great Russian People on May 24 to commemorate the victory over the plague of the West - fascism. It is less known that he addressed the theme of the greatness of the Russian people before. At least since 1917.
What I found in the collection of Stalin’s works (not all volumes were available, unfortunately) and in other sources.

"On the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies"
In order to smash the old government, a temporary alliance of rebel workers and soldiers was enough. For it goes without saying that the strength of the Russian revolution lies in the union of workers and peasants dressed in soldiers' greatcoats.<…>
For it is clear to everyone that the guarantee of the final victory of the Russian revolution lies in strengthening the alliance of the revolutionary worker with the revolutionary soldier.<…>
Soldiers! Organize into your unions and gatheraround the Russian people, the only true ally of the Russian revolutionary army! <…>

1939, November. From a conversation with Kollontai:
The conversation was mainly centered around the situation with Finland. Stalin advised strengthening the work of the Soviet embassy to study the situation in Scandinavian countries in connection with the penetration of Germany into these countries in order to attract the governments of Norway and Sweden and influence Finland in order to prevent conflict. And, as if concluding, he said that
“If we can’t prevent it, it will be short-lived and cost little blood. The time for “persuasion” and “negotiations” is over. We must practically prepare for resistance, for war with Hitler.”
<...>
“All this will fall on the shoulders of the Russian people.For the Russian people are a great people. The Russian people are good people. The Russian people have a clear mind. It is as if he was born to help other nations. The Russian people are characterized by great courage, especially in hard times, in dangerous times. He is proactive. He has a persistent character. He's a dreamy bunch. He has a purpose. That’s why it’s harder for him than for other nations. You can rely on him in any trouble. The Russian people are invincible, inexhaustible."

AND, May 24, 1945 at a reception in the Kremlin on the occasion of the Great Victory. Stalin made the famous toast “To the health of the Russian people!”

“Comrades, allow me to raise one more, final toast.
I, as a representative of our Soviet government, would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people.
I drink, first of all, to the health of the Russian people because they are the most outstanding nation of all the nations that make up the Soviet Union.

“Comrades, allow me to raise one more, final toast.

I would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people (Stormy prolonged applause, shouts of “hurray”).

I drink, first of all, to the health of the Russian people because they are the most outstanding nation of all the nations that make up the Soviet Union.

I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people because in this war they have earned general recognition as the leading force of the Soviet Union among all the peoples of our country.

I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people, not only because they are a leading people, but also because they have a clear mind, persistent character and patience.

Another people could say to the Government: you have not lived up to our expectations, go away, we will install another government that will make peace with Germany and provide us with peace. But the Russian people did not agree to this, because they believed in the correctness of the policy of their Government and made sacrifices to ensure the defeat of Germany. And this trust of the Russian people in the Soviet government turned out to be the decisive force that ensured the historic victory over the enemy of humanity - over fascism.

Thanks to him, the Russian people, for this trust!

For the health of the Russian people! (Stormy, long-lasting applause).”

CONTEXT. On May 8, 1945, in the Berlin suburb of Karlshorst, the act of unconditional surrender of Germany was signed. On May 9, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief made a historic appeal to the Soviet people about the end of the war. A few days later, he ordered the General Staff to begin preparations for a parade of winners on Red Square with the participation of representatives from all fronts and all branches of the military. They also expressed a desire to celebrate the victory, according to Russian custom, with a feast, organizing a gala dinner in the Kremlin in honor of the commanders of the front troops and other military personnel.

This reception took place in the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace on May 24, 1945 - exactly a month before the famous victory parade. The choice of place for the celebration was not accidental. This grandiose room of the Grand Kremlin Palace, built in 1838-1849, was considered in Imperial Russia the main ceremonial room of the Moscow Kremlin. The White St. George Hall is one of the order halls, which embodies the idea of memory of generations of people who selflessly served Russia and gave their lives in battles for it. In this hall, which received its name in honor of the Order of St. George, there are marble plaques with the names of 546 regiments and the names of the St. George cavaliers.

Stalin's toast to the Russian people sounded last and final.

Stalin I. About the Great Patriotic War Soviet Union. M., 1947.

Mikhail Khmelko. "For the great Russian people." 1947

The toast was made two weeks after the Great Victory, which was very difficult. During the war, tens of millions of Great Russians, Little Russians and Belarusians remained in enemy-occupied territories. The war took place mainly in Russian lands. It was she who directly took the blow of the Nazi hordes, saving the peoples of Asia from genocide.

The population of Little Russia, New Russia, Belarus, Bessarabia, Leningrad, Smolensk and many other regions, the Onega region and the Ladoga region found themselves on land controlled by the Nazis, who were aware that they were in Russia only so that there would be no Russians left here. According to the plans of the Nazis, the Russian population in the occupied territories was to be destroyed, and IT WAS PLANNEDLY DESTROYED. The Soviet government knew about this, whose members realized that SHARE OF THE GUILTY FOR THE FACT THAT A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE RUSSIAN LAND IS OCCUPIED LIES WITH IT. However, ordinary Russian people, finding themselves in occupation zones, found the strength to fight an enemy that humanity had not yet known, without thinking about betrayal, which could save their lives, because several million Banderaites, policemen and members of their families moved to Poland after the war , Germany, the USA and Canada, having previously served Hitler for several years.

There were much more partisans and underground fighters who stood up to fight the non-humans than policemen, “militants” of the UPA, VV, and fighters of the Crimean Tatar “self-defense companies.” Stalin, seeing that the MOST PART of the Russian people, having found themselves cut off from Moscow, still found the strength to kill the Nazis, could not help but appreciate this. He did not want to remember those who served in the ranks of the Nazis. koparev.livejournal.com

Here is what Stalin said verbatim:

“Comrades, allow me to raise one more, final toast.

I, as a representative of our Soviet government, would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people.

On May 24, 1945, Stalin gave a speech at a reception in the Kremlin in honor of the commanders of the Red Army. This speech has as lasting significance as Churchill's Fulton speech or Kennedy's speech in Berlin. It may seem strange, but certain circles fiercely hate Stalin for this speech even more than for his bloody crimes.

They don’t care about the blood of the Russian people shed by the tyrant, but public tribute to the Russian people infuriates them.

The toast raised by Stalin to the Russian people is short. Here is its full text:

“Comrades, allow me to raise one more, final toast. I would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people. I drink, first of all, to the health of the Russian people because they are the most outstanding of nations, members of the Soviet Union. I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people because in this war they earned general recognition as the leading force of the Soviet Union among all the peoples of our country. I raise a toast to the health of the Russian people not only because they are the leading ones. people, but also because he has a clear mind, persistent character and patience.

Our government made quite a few mistakes; we had moments of despair in 1941–1942, when our army was retreating, leaving our native villages and cities in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the Leningrad region, the Baltic states, the Karelo-Finnish Republic, leaving because that there was no other way out. Another people could say to the government: you have not lived up to our expectations, go away, we will install another government that will make peace with Germany and provide us with peace. But the Russian people did not agree to this, because they believed in the correctness of the policy of their Government and made sacrifices to ensure the defeat of Germany. And this trust of the Russian people in the Soviet government turned out to be the decisive force that ensured the historic victory over the enemy of humanity - over fascism.

Thanks to him, the Russian people, for this trust!

For the health of the Russian people!"

People who love their Fatherland have always been pleased with such a high assessment. Even to those who remembered history well and knew that Joseph Vissarionovich, although he was not bluffing, giving praise to the Great Russians, but also tormented these people more than foreigners. Maybe you should beat your own people so that strangers would be afraid? But here we enter “terra incognita” historical science. Despite the abundance of historical material, much remains to be studied.

Contemporary American professor Robert Tucker, who wrote a biography of Stalin, which was recently published in Russian translation, notes that serious “researchers have barely begun to analyze Stalin’s personality and the psychological motivations that prompted him, through purges and terror, to achieve unlimited, autocratic power. The complex mechanism of interaction between these psychological motivations and Stalin’s political goals and ideas has not yet been sufficiently studied.

Nor was due attention paid to the problem of the formation of Stalin's political image in his youth, although numerous relevant facts had long been at hand. What made him a Marxist? Why did he leave the seminary at the age of twenty and choose a career as a revolutionary? Why did you become a Bolshevik, a supporter of Lenin, while the majority of Georgian Marxists preferred Menshevism? What were his personal goals in the revolutionary movement? All these questions remain open. But it is important to get an answer to them if we want to better understand the actions of the mature Stalin."

In 1888, young Soso entered a school where teaching was conducted in Georgian, and Russian was studied as a foreign language. A couple of years later, at the height of the policy of Russification of the border lands pursued by the tsarist government, Russian became the mandatory spoken language in classes, and Georgian took the place of a foreign language. Only two lessons per week. Georgian guys, talkative by nature, had difficulty speaking Russian and constantly stumbled into their native language. Like medieval schoolchildren in Europe, so that they would quickly master Latin and not get lost in various barbaric dialects, Georgian boys were punished: they were beaten with a fist or a ruler, kneeled on small stones for one or two hours, or forced to stand in the corner. Or the offender had to hold a wooden stick at arm's length, sometimes until lunch, if it did not go to another offender.

Tucker further writes: “Some of the newly appointed government officials, similar to the school inspector Butyrsky, further inflamed the situation by openly demonstrating their contempt for the Georgian language and, in general, for everything Georgian. The crude methods by which the authorities tried to turn Georgian children into Russian boys , only strengthened their sense of national pride. By studying the Russian language, many began to hate the Russians themselves." It’s surprising that after something like this, the future Secretary General fell in love with the Russian language and the Great Russians themselves! In any case, the overwhelming majority of his peers turned away from Russia for a long time.

But, captivated by the ideas of internationalism, Dzhugashvili showed insight and adequately responded to the challenge of the time. An American historian and part-time psychoanalyst finds the following explanation for such a revolution in youthful souls: “Russia was the first to carry out a communist revolution and from an actual colony Western Europe turned into the center of a world movement, which gave rise to a kind of “Russian red patriotism” among some Russian communists. They were not only proud of their belonging to the Russian nation, but also looked at themselves primarily as Russians and did not so much value Soviet power and the Soviet Federation as they were drawn to “single, indivisible” Russia." Note that this is written by an author who is knowledgeable dela analyzes Russian history, and does not clique, like a huge part of Stalinophobes or Stalin-lovers. Leave your emotions for your loved ones - there is no point in meddling with your taste in the area of the recent past. otherwise writings from scientific research turns into bad journalism, every now and then straying to the level of libel.

In contrast to the leader of the world revolution, Lenin, deeply respected by Stalin (including Tucker, who writes about the reverence that Joseph Vissarionovich felt for his senior comrade, and only for him alone, sweeping aside all his other closest associates), to whom “Russian nationalism” was alien , it was "deeply rooted in Stalin's character." Here is another passage from the work of an American historian: “Stalin became Russified while still a young revolutionary, considering the Bolsheviks to be the “true Russian faction” of the Marxist movement. Ironically, a man who, according to Lenin, was valuable to the party as a representative of small nations and who for a long time agreed with this definition of his main role in the party, was an emerging Russian nationalist even before their meeting and many years before the moment when, to his horror, Lenin discovered in him fully formed Russian nationalist views.

Stalin identified himself with Russia, this was the basis of his arrogant attitude towards the culture of small peoples, especially those of the Caucasus, which we discovered in the work “Marxism and the National Question” - this determined the zeal with which he took the side of Lenin and opposed the “national cultural autonomy" in the party".

A very remarkable paragraph: “In Stalin’s view, there was no contradiction between the class category “true proletarian” and the national category “real Russian.” On the contrary, these concepts were combined. In Stalin’s opinion, Bolshevism, or Leninism, was a truly Marxist, class revolutionary movement of an international character and at the same time thoroughly Russian. In April 1926, in one of the internal party memoranda addressed to Kaganovich and other members of the bureau of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Stalin defined Leninism as the “highest achievement” of Russian culture.”

Hence it is clear why liberals of the Gorbachev perestroika model so zealously attacked everything connected with our revolution. They successfully survived more than one European revolution, in particular the Great French, and after that they did not stop worshiping everything French, but the Muscovites stood at their throats. Along with revolutionary excesses, such “critics” tried to get rid of any manifestation of “Russianness.” The Marquis de Custine reviled Tsarist Russia, his current heirs continue to do this with today's Russia, and in the meantime they mocked the power of the Soviets. As a result, some people do not like the Russian regime, but Great Russia itself.

All about car tuning

Stalin about the Russian people. Why did Stalin edit his text?
