And although any noticeable demand it not to use Stalin's apologists extremely inspired by the very fact of its appearance. All the more so soon in a few yards near St. Petersburg Moskovsky prospect hang posters during World War II with pictures of Stalin, but on Nevsky Prospekt left the bus with a portrait of a "leader of all times" on board. Of course, Stalin's image has traditionally had a lot of demonstrations during the 1 st and 9 th May.
The Communists are convinced that young people interested in Stalin.
Some people strongly supported the return of Stalin's cultural and political space in Russia. The emergence of "stalinobusa" (as he was called in St. Petersburg) has approved, in particular the faction of the Communist Party in the city legislature Vladimir Dmitriev. On the question of the correspondent Deutsche Welle, is not whether the revival of Stalin's personality cult, he replied: "Not at all. There is a return to the truth about the historical era when the country led Joseph Stalin."
According to Dmitriev, the authorities deliberately distort the sociological data on those who are now interested in the personality of Stalin. Meanwhile, says the Communist leader in the St. Petersburg parliament, "is not a veteran, not the elderly, which is usually said that they - the representatives of decrepit past who are nostalgic for those days. No, it is - young people who have received education in our time , see what happens in the country, and understand that the prospect of such an action no. These young people, said Vladimir Dmitriev, refers to historical documents, which describes how you can make from a backward country's largest industrial, nuclear power. "The vast majority of people understand that in today's Russia, the future is viewed dimly," - emphasizes the leader of St. Petersburg "zyuganovtsev.
Antistalinism - outside the law?
However, not all Russian youth feels the desire to return to the Stalin era. Representatives of the St. Petersburg "Youth Yabloko held at the Kazan Cathedral series of single pickets against the emergence in the city" stalinobusa and posters depicting the "Great Leader". Four of them, wearing prison clothes with breast plates, which listed the crimes of Stalinism, handing out leaflets explaining why the portrait of Stalin insulted the memory of the Great Patriotic War.
After a while the protesters approached a group of people with red bands on their hands. Posing as members of the Communist Party, they turned to the police to stop the action. As a result, the four young Yabloko was taken to the police station, where one of them, Denis Vasiliev, was beaten for refusing to be photographed for the record. Three hours later, all were released without charge. Upon learning of the incident, the chairman of Yabloko, Sergei Mitrokhin announced its intention to apply to the Attorney General to initiate a claim against the policemen who showed arbitrariness, a criminal case.
Renaissance cult of Stalin can not be excluded
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev several times publicly denounced Stalinism. Member of the Bureau of Yabloko party, a political analyst Boris Vishnevsky said that he would like to believe in the sincerity of the President, but recalls that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is in Stalin is much milder.
Moreover, Wisniewski says that for Stalin, and Putin is the state's interests above the interests of every citizen and to achieve them, there is no moral and legal barriers. The same belief, in his opinion, shared by the Communists, because it - one of the foundations of their doctrine. A real revival of Stalin's personality cult, according to Boris Vishnevsky, Russia is still not observed, but it can not be ruled out.
