"Russians by eyes of our western and overseas friends 2" or "Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov: The second encounter."
Hello comrades! It's me, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanow and I know that you missed me. I was far away, fishing on the sunny beaches of Vorkuta and helping soviet pioneers in building of the new nuclear reactor.
Last time I told you about our habits and way of life. And today I want to tell you about our traditions. And here comes our main tradition. First of all you should know that our soviet society can be divided into 2 main groups: those who sit in GULAG and those who supervise us. It is a very exciting tradition, and from time to time we change our roles.
Now about education. Everybody knows that our education is the best in the world. Our wise government spends fabulous sums of money to provide us with free and qualitative education. And when we learn a lot, our wise government rewards us with free tickets to GULAG.
Foreign affairs. Maybe you didn't know, but we can study a lot of foreign languages in our schools. But KGB may always suspect bearers of foreign languages in espionage and will send all of them to the GULAG. That's why we can communicate with outer world only with the help of few unfinished representatives of russian aristocracy, bearers of old high-society British dialect. If it doesn't help, our diplomats can always yank off their shoes and begin banging on the desks. Usually it helps.
Science. We pay high attention to the scientific researches. But at the same time we prefer to keep all the smartest scientists in GULAG. They work better there and we can always release them if we will need new, bigger nuclear bomb or another WMD.
Military. We do not appreciate new tendencies in modern warfare: tanks, aircraft, firearms... screw it. Faithful horse bear and good saber - that's all we need. That's why we have only cavalrymen in the Ministry of Defence.
Here comes one more of our outstanding traditions. It's called Great Purge. Every 5 years we shoot all of our most talented generals but always let 1 survive (for the case if treacherous enemy will suddenly attack us) who will save us all and bring us victory. After this we usually shoot him too.
As I told you last time, we all serve in Red Army. I served in Red Army too. I was a cannon fodder. We have many types of troops in Red Army, but the cannon fodder is the most numerous and honorable type. Every soviet conscript is proud to serve as a cannon fodder.
Usually our soldiers don't have any weapons. They have to get it in battle with bare hands. Only lucky ones have Mosin 1891 rifles, but without rounds. In battle we are always escorted by NKVD barrier troops, who march in 2-3 meters behind us. They wear parade uniform and have heavy weaponry, like machine guns, to shoot cowards and deserters. The presence of barrier troops always encourages cannon fodder...
Ok, my dear comrades. That's all for now. I still have to take back my IS-3 from the repair shop and write a report for tomorrow's Party meeting. These kind KGB officers will show you the way out.

Hey Comerade, haven't talked to you for quite some time. So, how are you doin'?
Brezhnev sees a man carrying a watermelon while on a car ride on his way to home. He asks the driver to stop the car and approaches the man. He tells him that the watermelon is looking nice and asks him to sell it to him. The man replies "Sure, pick the one you want" and Brezhnev asks "How can I pick? There is only one". The man replies "Just how we elected you."
"Leonid Ilyich is in surgery." / "Heart again?" / "No, chest expansion surgery: to fit one more Gold Star medal."
At the 1980 Olympics, Brezhnev begins his speech. "O!" -- applause. "O!" -- more applause. "O!" -- yet more applause. "O!" -- an ovation. "O!!!" -- the whole audience stands up and applauds. An aide comes running to the podium and whispers, "Leonid Ilyich, that's the Olympic rings, you don't need to read it!"
After a speech, Brezhnev confronts his speechwriter. "I asked for a 15-minute speech, but the one you gave me lasted 45 minutes!" The speechwriter replies: "I gave you three copies..."
Bush:
"They misunderestimated me."
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me-you can't get fooled again."
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
"One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps."
"We can have filters on Internets where public money is spent."
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
"As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured."
"Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling."
Well, jokes aside. We will talk about Brezhnev next time. First of all, I'm rather confused to hear from you those concoctions about Stalin. Anyway, as I'm rather rare visitor here right now and not able to take part in long discussions, thus I'll just provide you with few links to reliable sources. I trust these people as well as their sources. I'll give'em to you this weekend, I think. And later we will discuss this question again.
What's the truth of the great Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin? Tell me the story.

His great rival may have been alive when he died in 1953!
He didn't even believe Hitler's death 100 percent!

"The biography of this man is covered with a curtain of mystery..."
And the blood of millions. >_>
At least Lenin had a good idea and was better than the Czars. Stalin, on the other hand, was worse than Adolf Hitler...
Not trying to sound preachy, Socialism has some fairly revolutionary ideas, but what truly counteracts Stalin's crimes to the point where he's a great leader? :/
Somewhere I've already heard this. Let me guess... Loony bin released her patients for a walk?
What is the point of spamming this propaganda? You don't know the truth and you don't want to. It seems like u made ur moral choice long ago.
"Well, actually everyone who worked with Stalin, hated Khrushch. Politicians, marshals, workers."
Really? I've heard from lots of accounts that Khrushchev was a nice person to be around and generally consistent. Opinion, all of it.
"In fact, during his rule unreasonable repressions increased, while trotskyists and conspirators were justified."
That's simply wrong. Stalin had thousands of these "unreasonable repressions" in place, such as using the NKVD/KGB as a terrorist organization (arresting and killing random people in order to make people more submissive), and "arrest quotas". Also the Gulag thrived under Stalin. Khruschev released millions from the Gulag, and made living conditions for the remaining civilians there much better. He destroyed most terrorists tactics used by the state to make civilians terrified into submission. Oh, and Trotsky was not viewed positively under Khruschev (not as negative as Stalin's time though), was not viewed positively until Gorbachev called him a "martyr".
"In fact, during his rule agricultural policy was failed..."
Perhaps, but he didn't go starving and executing kulaks (peasants) because they wouldn't submit to rapid, ruthless, violent collectivization. Stalin failed miserably at agriculture, more than Khrushchev.
"In fact, during his rule economincal and industrial development slowed."
Once again, I don't think so. Khruschev inherited a huge mess of an economy from Stalin. It was not a communist economy. Khruschev launched reform programs and new centralized economic plans that got the economy back on the correct Communistic track again. Breshev, of course, had to stagnate the economy and doom the USSR to failure.
"He was short-sighted, ignoramus, and despicable"
Opinion, opinion, opinion. There are many accounts that say just the opposite.
Just my opinion, no harm done.
Sources?
