In recent years, May 9 takes on new meaning for all who care about the Russian history. As we approach this date Ideological confrontation, in evaluating the role of Stalin in World War II, is becoming more acute. For those who want to extol Stalin, today there are many tools for promoting their own ideas. The "Snob" decided to create a platform for alternative expression.

Yes, there is no confrontation! This is a contrived theme. There is a story.
In 1905, the tsarist Russia, which like to cite as an example of Stalin's rule, shamefully lost the war in Japan. Because the king was gutless and incompetent commander Kuropatkin. And in the Great Patriotic except the people was a worthy chief. In war, won the people, but people need to lead! (AIF)

[Кирилл Сызранский]

Under the leadership of "decent commander in chief" on the Eastern Front the Germans only in the period from 22 June to 1 December 1941 was captured 3806861 POW.
"Brilliant commander!

I agree, was: Marshal Georgy Zhukov ..
Better to let this contest than posters with portraits of Stalin on the streets of Moscow ..

[SergeiSK]

But why should I here to argue with the stubborn citizens? Butt quotations, figures, names? Let's agree to differ. Who wants to express himself, then he will do on May 9 at a meeting with veterans. They shall see who is right or not.

At a meeting with "veterans" or "war veterans"?

In the Brezhnev there was a nice substitute the term "soldier" to "veteran". And as soon as the list of "veterans" were, roughly speaking, all interested:
all sorts of staff rat NKVDshniki, SMERSH-fighters, gunners security detachments, instructor regional committees. And they were all treated as war veterans, becoming the "veterans".
It remains only to find out who from the "veterans" veteran, and who - "Veteran".

You perfectly understood what was going on and do not cling to the words.

Sergei, a veteran already answered Luzhkov (lads)
Moscow City Hall to the 65 th anniversary of the Victory is going to "beautify" the city of portraits of Stalin.
We believe this idea sacrilegious.
The role of Stalin - it is not victory, but the unthinkable, with nothing commensurate with the extent of losses.

Stalin - that rout of the army leadership, the destruction of professional military personnel in 1937-1938.
Stalin - this extrajudicial destruction in 1930 of hundreds of thousands of our countrymen who would in 1941 join the ranks of the defenders of the motherland.
Stalin - a collapse of the defense industry, shootings and arrests of the leading organizers, designers and engineers.
Stalin - a criminal and shameful collusion with Hitler in 1939, supplying Nazi Germany to Soviet raw materials and aggressive policy, for which the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations.
Stalin - a monstrous political shortsightedness that led to the catastrophe of the first months of the war, when the Nazis occupied the vast territory and captured millions of our soldiers. For these achievements fascist troops Stalin did more than all the German field marshals and generals.
Stalin - is unprecedented in the history of an example of betrayal: the soldiers, captured by the fault-chief, were declared traitors.
Stalinist policies, we and our family felt the full even before the war and the war have seen no publicity points.

We know about Stalin's role was not hearsay. For us it is not tales of Stalin's textbooks and student outlines the History of the CPSU (b). It's part of our lives - at the front or the rear.

We have done everything for victory, not because so ordered Stalin - we are simply defending their homeland, which was many centuries before Stalin, and will continue for many centuries after Luzhkov.
Initially, one might think that the idea of Moscow officials due to their incompetence - nothing else can explain the words of Yuri Luzhkov of "Stalinist ten strokes, the story of which he could not find in today's textbooks. It's a cliche Stalinist propaganda has long been filed.

But after the first public criticism of the Moscow City Hall raced this demagoguery that has become clear: it is not just incompetence, but also a conscious effort to rehabilitate Stalin.

No one opposing the poster did not call "abandon history" and "black out the wrong page", as falsely trying to present officials.

On the contrary: it is on these pages - not "wrong", and the tragic - and we believe it is necessary to remember.

Naturally, during the Soviet era crimes of the communist regime did not condemn, and Stalin's crimes mentioned very rarely.
But after the Soviet government, for all the nearly 20 years in power, Luzhkov never on the streets of Moscow did not add any poster telling about Stalin's crimes against his own people, against the army.

And now for some reason the 65 th anniversary of Victory Muscovites offer new look at the products Stalinist agitprop.

We believe this decision is not just a personal affront to us all and for the people who won the victory. We are confident that this decision is an insult to the whole country, that it undermined the prestige of Russia.
Moreover, it undermines the very greatness of the Victory, inherited such an incredible price. It is unacceptable to the Victory Day hang portraits of torturers and murderers.
We call on the mayor of Moscow to rescind its decision.
