Stalin was once the president of the Soviet Union, and people spoke highly of him. He was a very malleable figure, and a leader of the Soviet Union, Trotsky, once commented: "It was the institutions of power that shaped such a highly admired Stalin." ”
Stalin was a very good mediocre man in the bureaucracy, and he was the most powerful of the many mediocre men. His ability to rule the clique is very strong, and he is a more resolute, decisive and ruthless person than others, which can be said to be his strength, but this is also his weakness. Stalin was even a very short-sighted man, not a brilliant strategist, and after some of the wars he led, it was enough to prove that Stalin was a mediocre man, and that he himself knew it.
First, stalin's "iron fist" image
I believe that anyone who knows the history of the Soviet Union and the history of the world will know that Stalin was actually a very famous leader in the history of the Soviet Union. At that time, it was precisely because of Stalin's leadership that the Soviet Union stood out among so many countries and became a very powerful superpower.
At the beginning of Stalin's leadership of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was still a very poor country, and there was a social situation at that time, and there was a danger that the Soviet Union could perish at any time.
But Stalin's political means can be said to be more and more sophisticated, and slowly he began to grasp the situation in society, and began to develop rapidly in the international community, and this momentum of development was that the Soviet Union became a superpower in the world very quickly.
During World War II, in fact, Stalin also made a very great contribution to the victory of World War II, Germany in World War II can be said to be very powerful, and World War II was also initiated by Germany, but the Soviet Union blocked the German attack by its own strength. After World War II, the Soviet Union led by Stalin also became more powerful in terms of comprehensive strength, and a situation of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union was formed between the superpower and the United States.
Second, Stalin's attitude toward defending the interests of the state was very tough
Stalin's attitude toward defending the interests of his country was as tough as a stone. In his eyes, he only has his own country, and in all kinds of things, everywhere he thinks of his own country.
Churchill described his dealings with Stalin in his book Memoirs of World War II. Their interaction began when France was invaded by Germany, and their first meeting was 4 hours. And they are also two different characters, one is a descendant of the dukes of the bourgeoisie, and the other is a proletarian born in the cold door. The friendship between them has both a fierce battle of tongues and a deep friendship.
But even such a leader who defends his national interests at every turn, no matter how good he is to his country. After his death, he will also be criticized by the people of the whole country.
Because of Stalin's tough attitude in defending his national interests, many people felt extremely dissatisfied. Even after his death, many people in the Soviet government were dissatisfied with him and began to rally the people of the whole country to criticize him.
Third, the results of the extremely incredible liquidation
Among them, the fiercest criticism of Stalin was Khrushchev, who said that Stalin left a great inheritance after his death, but this was left to his own descendants. It is not owned by the State.
Later, after Stalin's death, the Soviet government organized personnel to liquidate his legacy. After the liquidation, it was found that his inheritance was actually very small. This result was a great surprise to everyone. In fact, Nezov knew that Stalin's legacy was not very much, and in order to avoid the dangers posed by Khrushchev, he chose to remain silent.
Summary: The Soviet Union, after liquidating Stalin's legacy after his death, was once silent and guilty. The reason is that Stalin left very little private property. As the leader of Stalin, he actually lived like an ordinary person, and in such a socialist country at that time, Stalin was actually very clean.
Stalin was like the leaders of other socialist countries, and their minds were of their own country. They are always thinking first of all about their own national interests, and they are all wholeheartedly serving their country and people.
