What was done in Russia under Stalin's leadership. Statistics
During Stalin's leadership, for 30 years, the agrarian, impoverished country, dependent on foreign capital, turned into a powerful military-industrial power on a global scale, into the center of a new socialist civilization. The impoverished and illiterate population of tsarist Russia became one of the most literate and educated Nations in the world. By the beginning of the 1950s, the political and economic literacy of workers and peasants was not only equal to, but also exceeded, the level of education of workers and peasants in any developed country at that time. Population sizeOf The Soviet Union increased by 41 million people.
Under Stalin, more than 1,500 major industrial facilities were built, including DneproGES, Uralmash, KHTZ, GAZ, ZIS, and plants in Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk, Norilsk, and Stalingrad. At the same time, not a single enterprise of this scale has been built in the last 20 years of democracy.
Already in 1947, the industrial potential of the USSR was fully restored, and in 1950 it grew by more than 2 times in relation to the pre-war 1940 year. None of the countries affected by the war had even reached the pre-war level by this time, despite powerful financial injections from the UnitedStates .
Prices for basic foodstuffs, in the 5 post-war years in the USSR, decreased by more than 2 times, while in the largest kapstrany these prices increased, and in some even 2 or more times.
This shows the great success of a country that just five years ago ended the most devastating war in the history of mankind and suffered the most from this war!!
Bourgeois experts in 1945 gave an official forecast that the economy of the USSR will be able to reach the level of 1940 only by 1965-provided that it takes foreign loans. We reached this level in 1949 without any external assistance.
In 1947, the USSR, the first post-war state on our planet, abolished the card system. And since 1948, every year - until 1954-reduced prices for food and consumer goods.Child mortality in 1950 decreased by more than 2 times in comparison with 1940.The number of doctors increased by 1.5 times.The number of scientific institutions increased by 40%.The number of University students increased by 50%. Etc.
The stores had an abundance of various industrial and food products and there was no concept of scarcity. The choice of products in grocery stores was much wider than in modern supermarkets.Now only in Finland you can try a sausage that resembles the Soviet one from those times. Banks with crabs were in all Soviet stores.The quality and variety of consumer goods and food products, exclusively produced in Russia, was disproportionately higher than modern consumer goods and food.As soon as new trends in fashion appeared, they were instantly tracked, and within a couple of months fashion products were appearing in abundance on store shelves.
The wages of workers in 1953 ranged from 800 to 3000 rubles and above. Miners and metallurgists received up to 8,000 rubles. Young engineer specialists up to 1300 rubles. The Secretary of the district Committee of the CPSU received 1,500 rubles, and the salary of professors and academicians was often higher than 10,000 rubles.
The car "Moskvich" cost - 9000 R., white bread (1 kg) - 3 R, brown bread (1 kg) 1 R, beef (1 kg) - 12.5 R., Zander fish - 8,3 R., milk (1 litre) - 2.2 p., potatoes (1 kg) 0,45 R., Zhigulevsk beer (0,6 l) and 2.9 R., cotton (1 m) and 6.1 R. lunch in the dining room was worth it - 2 p. evening in the restaurant for two, with a good dinner and a bottle of wine - 25 p.
And all this abundance and comfortable life was achieved, despite the maintenance of 5.5 million, armed "to the teeth" with the most modern weapons, the best army in the world!
Since 1946, the following works have been carried out in the USSR: on nuclear weapons and energy; on rocket technology ; on automation of technological processes ; on the introduction of the latest computer technology and electronics ; on space flights ; on gasification of the country ; on household appliances.
The world's first nuclear power plant was commissioned in the USSR a year earlier than in the Soviet Union.In England, and 2 years earlier than in the United States. Only in the USSR were nuclear-powered icebreakers created.
Thus, in the USSR, during one five - year period - from 1946 to 1950-in the conditions of a tough military-political confrontation with the richest capitalist power in the world, at least three socio-economic tasks were solved without any external assistance: 1) the national economy has been restored; 2) a steady increase in the standard of living of the population has been ensured; 3) an economic breakthrough has been made into the future.
And even now we exist only at the expense of Stalin's legacy. In science, industry, and almost all spheres of life.
Us presidential candidate Stevenson estimated the situation in such a way that if the rate of production growth in the Stalinist eraIf the Russian economy continues, then by 1970 the volume of Russian production will be 3-4 times higher than the American one.
In the September 1953 issue of national business magazine, Herbert Harris's article "the Russians are catching up with us" noted that the USSR is ahead of any other country in terms of economic power growth and that at present the growth rate in the USSR is 2-3 times higher than in the United States.
In 1991, at the Soviet-American Symposium, when our "Democrats" began to squeal about the "Japanese economic miracle", the Japanese billionaire Heroshi Terawama gave them a beautiful "slap in the face" : "You don't talk about the main thing, about your leading role in the world. In 1939, you Russians were smart, and we Japanese were fools. In 1949, you became even smarter, and we were still fools. And in 1955, we got smarter, and you turned into five-year-olds. Our entire economic system is almost completely copied from yours, with the only difference being that we have capitalism, private producers, and we have never achieved more than 15% growth, while you have reached 30% or more with public ownership of the means of production. Your Stalinist slogans are displayed in all our companies."
One of the best representatives of the faithful working people, venerated by St. Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea, wrote:: "Stalin saved Russia. He showed what Russia means to the rest of the world. And that is why, as an Orthodox Christian and Russian patriot, I bow low to comrade Stalin."
Never in its history has our country known such majestic transformations as in the Stalin era! The whole world was shocked to see our progress! That is why the "diabolical" task is now being implemented-never again to allow the emergence of people at the levers of power of the state who are comparable in their internal strength, moral qualities, strategic thinking, organizational abilities and patriotism with Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.
But a quarter of a century of unbridled propaganda againstIts organizers did not win even over the dead Stalin.
