Stalin was a figure that the former Soviet Union could not get around, although in the second half of his life, he went into the misunderstanding of despotism. But this was also a last resort, and the Soviet bureaucracy decided that someone had to stand up and control the whole situation, and Stalin was the best candidate.
It is not easy to directly evaluate Stalin's merits, let alone arbitrarily believe that Stalin is the root cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Do not forget that the former Soviet Union was more and more impoverished at the beginning of its establishment, and it was Stalin who single-handedly created a superpower that could compete with the United States for hegemony.
Because of Stalin's strong tactics, he offended many people during his reign. And after the death of such a figure, he will be criticized by everyone.
Among these criticisms, Khrushchev, another leader of the Soviet Union, was the most "sharp" .
Khrushchev vigorously encouraged the people to liquidate Stalin's legacy, and he repeatedly swore that Stalin had a huge amount of property. At his instigation, the people, who were already dissatisfied with Stalin, demanded a thorough investigation, and a special investigation team was set up to investigate Stalin's property.
The results of the inventory, as Khrushchev said, were that Stalin had left behind hundreds of billions of rubles, all for his children. In the atmosphere of the time, this result caused public outrage, Stalin's body was destroyed, and a large number of memorial buildings were demolished.
Was Stalin really such a man? No, no, no, time gradually allows the truth to surface. According to the memoirs of those who had originally participated in the raid, Stalin's estate was less than 900 rubles, and there was nothing in his residence except for a change of clothes and a few cigarette bags.
The so-called hundreds of billions of rubles of Stalin are nothing more than a conspiracy of Khrushchev, who single-handedly covered the sky and covered up all the truth. In those days, when it was difficult for the living to protect themselves, who cared about the dignity of a dead person?
Fortunately, decades later, the righteous people returned Stalin's innocence.
The image of Stalin in the Stalin period, the image of Stalin in the Khrushchev period, are not real Stalins. He was nothing more than a smoking politician, neither a hero nor a terrible dictator.
Stalin's merits are judged by people a hundred years later, but no one is allowed to smear them at will. It is good to say that he is short-sighted or that he is dictatorial, but we must not forget his iron fist during the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, nor can we forget everything he did for the Soviet Union. After the events of Stalin's legacy, angry people were plunged into guilt, and they were all thinking about it all.
On the one hand, they felt guilty about their misunderstanding of Stalin, and on the other hand, they had to re-examine history. In that simple and fanatical era, what a person is shaped into, what a person is smeared into, is completely up to himself.
Stalin, even if he made mistakes, could not completely deny them, let alone the fact that these negative words came from stalin's opponents. Stalin's legacy is not only humiliating, but also nostalgic for the greatness of the proletariat of the older generation. They have spent their whole lives fighting to safeguard the interests of the country, leaving themselves with only a little wealth.
History finally clarifies all this, but who is responsible for Stalin's devastated and mutilated remains? What happened to Stalin is not only worthy of introspection by all the people of the former Soviet Union, but also worthy of deep consideration by each and every one of us.
