December 21 is birthday of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, great leader of Soviet people

It is good time to honour him. And remind people that reality is quite different from myths they had been told by their corrupt and criminal goverments.

Today there is an economic crisis in nearly all post-industrial countries. Today there is an agricultural crisis in all the agrarian countries. Instead of "prosperity" there is mass poverty and a colossal growth of unemployment. Instead of an upswing in agriculture there is the ruin of the vast masses of the peasants. The illusions about the omnipotence of capitalism in general, and about the omnipotence of North American capitalism in particular, are collapsing. The triumphant hymns in honour of the dollar and of capitalist rationalisation are becoming fainter and fainter. Pessimistic wailing about the "mistakes" of capitalism is growing louder and louder.

Ходил он от дома к дому,
Стучась у чужих дверей,
Со старым дубовым пандури,
С нехитрою песней своей.
А в песне его, а в песне –
Как солнечный блеск чиста,
Звучала великая правда,
Возвышенная мечта.
Сердца, превращенные в камень,
Заставить биться сумел,
У многих будил он разум,
Дремавший в глубокой тьме.
Но вместо величья славы
Люди его земли
Отверженному отраву
В чаше преподнесли.
Сказали ему: “Проклятый,
Пей, осуши до дна...
И песня твоя чужда нам,
И правда твоя не нужна!”

I.Stalin 1895
