ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The author expresses her appreciation to all those whose assistance contributed to making this book possible. First, I want to share my deep gratitude to two individuals who helped me to write this book.

Dr. Rich Swier, a retired military hero, who, after reading my book The Russian Factor: From Cold War to Global Terrorism, invited me to his e-magazine as a writer for politics and national security. The man saw my potential and especially the potential of the subject I was researching and writing about—Russia. It was Dr. Rich Swier who delivered the appropriate pictures for my articles and occasionally made the titles even sound better than I did. Our cooperation has been going on since 2010 for the last eleven years and continues at the present time.

Mike McCarty, my editor, a military aircraft systems engineer, who not only edited the book, but was also a good adviser and sometimes provider of additional information from American technological sources.

Many thanks to Angela Aguirre, who provided me with the poetry of Cuban patriot Massimo Aguirre, her father. His poetry decorated my writings with the real history of the people fighting Communism in different times and in different countries across the world.

My tremendous gratitude to my daughter Katherine Woodward and my son-in-law John Maerz for gifting me with their time and their effort in helping me with putting different materials in the proper formats on the computer and correcting my English when I asked for help.

THE WORLD IS IN

A TURMOIL

Dear reader:

Many Americans are concerned, but they don’t understand what is happening to America…

Ideology runs the world. The Obama legacy and his Global Program is much bigger than it seems. It is a copy of Stalin’s project for a One World Socialist Government under the Kremlin’s Rule—well-crafted and decorated with buzz words. It is a repetition of the design created by Stalin/Andropov and described earlier in my previous books.

Very little has changed in the world of ideology since the Stalin/Andropov Design. Russia and China are working together again. They are connected by an umbilical cord of the ideology, and they are building and developing a Global Spy Ring against America today...

America demonstrates a deep lack of knowledge of Russia, her Intel, and the Socialist/Communist modus operandi. Reading this book will be an eye opener on those issues.

As a compilation of my articles written during the years 2014–-2021, this book represents the history of ideology that brought the world and America to its current crisis.

The Socialist Revolution by the Democrat Party from within has the means to annex total power. Without this knowledge, we will not be able to stop the fall of our American Constitutional Republic.

Political crooks and dishonest educators deceive and inculcate our youth.

…Vladimir Putin is laughing hilariously in the Kremlin, knowing perfectly well the root causes of all of America’s problems, including Afghanistan. Being Stalin’s heir, Putin and the KGB government runs the country the way Stalin had done it seventy years ago: the same absence of morality, the same strategic tactics and tricks within a one-party system, and the same agenda - global war against Western civilization.

To win this war we must know our enemy—Russia and her dreadful agency, the KGB which no longer has that name, but has the same mission and agenda.

Socialist Revolution in America presents a first-hand analysis of the Russian KGB government. It displays the American foreign policy and its insufficient knowledge of such an international force as the KGB for the last 70 years. The book exhibits the detrimental results this phenomenon has been leading to in our country and in the world. Socialist Revolution in America has the objective of showing the face of the aggressor and its ideology that I call Soviet Fascism.

CHAPTER 1

Marxism, Socialism, and Communism

H AVE YOU NOTICED how often the media uses the words socialism, communism, and Marxist ideology? Those terms have become popular topics for discussion on radio, TV, and the internet. And that is good; but words are often misleading, and to really understand socialism, you must have lived through it. I am a survivor of Russian Socialism, and I know what it truly means. I came to America to enjoy the freedom and opportunities that the country offers to humanity. I love this country, and I am concerned about the state of America’s national security, especially during this dangerous time for our country.

This is the reason I want to share my personal experiences living under the socioeconomic system called socialism and expose the frequent misrepresentations of what the term means. For most Americans, socialism is an abstract notion—something they have never experienced. Not coincidentally, Americans wonder about the difference between socialism and communism, and it is very hard for them to find the truth on the internet.

For those of us raised under the Communist system in the Soviet Union, Marxism-Leninism was a mandatory subject in all universities. Most Russian émigrés know the subject well. I was astonished by the various explanations of Marxist theory offered by American authors. Some of them were pure propaganda. One misleading presentation on Marxist theory and its comparison of Lenin with President Reagan surprised me the most.

Other strange statements I read included such comments as Socialism is liberal . . . Communism is conservative. This was news to me. We cannot compare liberals of the nineteenth century with leftists of the twenty-first century, just as we cannot compare Democrat president Harry Truman with Democrat president Barack Obama. Over the past sixty years, there has been a drastic transformation within the Democrat Party, and this transformation itself requires a separate discussion. Because there is an alarming need for truth, I will present my view on Marxism to Americans who hunger for light on this subject.

The Communist Manifesto

The publication of The Communist Manifesto in 1848 provided a road map for the period’s leftist political activists and their comrades in the labor unions. Marx was the primary author of the Manifesto while Engels’s exact contributions are unknown. Both offered their views on how capitalism would eventually be replaced by socialism and then evolve into communism, the purest form of socialism. Nevertheless, any potential details about what communism would look like were missing. I would say the Manifesto was a left-wing political program of the mid-nineteenth century with some historical and social information, and importantly, it declared war on Western civilization, a war that is simmering today, in the 21st century.

Creating the theory of socialism and communism as a means of rooting out the exploitation of man by man, Marx and Engels purposely divided it into two phases: the first phase socialism and the second communism.

They identified in detail the tasks, agendas, and ways to achieve them in their theory as follows:

• First, developing the tasks and agenda—overthrowing the capitalist economic system and establishing socialism as a basis for the creation of a classless communist society in the future.

• Second, the strategy to fulfill the tasks and agenda—through world revolution.

• Third, the world revolution would occur under the leadership of the proletariat. Proletariats of the world unite! was their slogan.

• Fourth, Marxist theory was to be limited to industrially developed European countries.

The first task and the agenda, which I call the first postulate, is clear—the overthrow of the existing capitalist economic system and the creation of a new socialist economic system under which all means of production would belong to the government. As a survivor of socialism, I can tell you how this was brought about—through the forcible confiscation and nationalization of all private property. Private property is the main target of Marxism.

Neither Marx nor Engels, however, identified over what time span socialism would mature into the evolved and perfect classless communist society. That is the crux of the matter—a dark hole in the theory and not the only one. In America, private property is a cornerstone of our democracy and our economic system. As it’s declared by our Founding Fathers, We have been a property holders’ democracy (Michael Barone).

The second postulate, how to achieve the task, is also clear—through world revolution. It is a radical, violent approach to the matter entailing unrest, chaos, violence, and killings. I am vehemently against such an approach because I know the tragedy that occurred in Russia. Marx’s statement that the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle is simply not true. America’s Founding Fathers created a just and fair government and free country without any class struggle.

The third postulate is the leadership of the proletariat. Class division is the wrong approach to the problem of leadership. And again, the example of America is the antithesis of the Marxist approach and suggests, to the contrary, that only competent, well-educated, and highly respected individuals—leaders who come from all walks of life with all kinds of talents—can provide a country true leadership, as was the case in America. It is individual personality and human qualities that bring a leader to the forefront of a movement, not his or her identification with a certain class.

The fourth postulate is perhaps the only logical and economically sustainable position, that is, that Marxist theory can be applied only to industrially developed European countries. Ironically, despite not meeting the requirements of any of Marx’s four postulates, the first socialist revolution took power in Russia in October 1917. And despite failing to meet Marxist requirements, and on the contrary by perverting all of them while at the same time using Marxist rhetoric to further his ends, Joseph Stalin created his own ideology and established a criminal syndicate, a totalitarian machine called Soviet socialism.

A more comprehensive explanation of this complex and important subject will follow. If you are interested in reading more about this subject, please read the article Replacing Property as a Source of Wealth Creation by Michael Barone (Townhall.com, July 4, 2011).

CHAPTER 2

Marxism: Utopianism,

a Fraud or Both?

M ARXIST IDEOLOGY HAS an inextricable connection to the recent events in today’s world. Do you know what the fate of Iraq and Afghanistan will be, or who is behind Benghazi, al-Qaeda, and the entire terrorist movement? Do you know why Obama betrayed Western values and with Putin’s help is allowing Assad to stay in power? Do you know whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor? A better knowledge of Marxism and the history of Stalinism will answer all these and many other questions.

Many social philosophers of the past were inspired by the idea of a brave new world governed by a just, peaceful, and unified government. Such ideal societies were envisioned by Sir Thomas More in Utopia in the sixteenth century and Tommaso Campanella in The City of the Sun in the seventeenth century. During the Industrial Age (eighteenth–nineteenth centuries), a constellation of social philosophers such as Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, and Robert Owen continued the search for a better form of social organization.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were greatly influenced by these men, and they coined the term utopian socialists to describe their teachers’ hyper idealistic theory. But were they also utopian socialists? Engels himself sneeringly dismissed the idea. He asserted that the undeveloped state of the class struggle, as well as their own surroundings, cause socialists of this kind to consider themselves far superior to all class antagonism.

I include this statement for a reason. Engels’s view of his teachers was quite arrogant, but it offers insight into the importance to its creators of key concepts of Marxism—class struggle and class antagonism. Marx and Engels were militants and differed distinctly in their approach to social engineering from the peaceful ways envisioned by the utopian socialists.

However, Marxism’s militancy does not answer the question of whether we can consider Marxism as a path to a utopian society or a fraud. To answer the question, we must go to the heart of Marxist theory—socialism. The answer lies in Marx’s attempt to legitimize socialism and eventually in the legitimacy (or lack of legitimacy) of his theory itself.

To grasp the concept of Marxist socialism, we must first analyze the Marxist claim that the theory is based on science—scientific socialism. Scientific means the theory is based on verifiable facts. In reality, Marx did not provide any verifiable facts. Based on history, we can state that a socialist society had never previously existed anywhere in the world. And that allows me right away to conclude that the second part of Marxist theory, communism, must be a completely utopian theory, as it is not based on any human experience and is just an opinion about or idea of a future model of social organization. Thus, both can be considered a fraud since they are based on the unverified concept of socialism.

Whether we can call Marxism scientific socialism or utopianism continues to be an open question. I have lived half of my life under the system called Soviet socialism, where everything belonged to the government, from the factories to the goods they produced, from the land to everything produced from the land. I didn’t know anything about capitalism when I started studying Marxism-Leninism at law school. I wanted to read books written by Marx and Engels, the only information from the West. One of them, Das Kapital, impressed me enormously. The book weighed four or five pounds. Even translated into Russian, it was still difficult to read. But I had to read it.

The book gave me my first glance at capitalism. Economics and the concept of money were studied and presented in detail. I was astonished by the significance of money within the capitalist system. How was it possible that the creator of scientific socialism couldn’t describe money’s counterpart in his own theoretical creation? Under our socialism, money meant very little. Of course, you had to have some money to buy bread or milk, but that was probably it. To buy meat or butter, having money was not enough: you had to have blat. All Soviet citizens knew the term. (See glossary, blat.)

This term is probably not familiar to you, as it is a Russian word that applies to the Soviet socialist society. You live under capitalism and the laws of supply and demand, which responds to reality. Soviet socialism did not function in response to real conditions, and because of constant shortages and empty shelves, people relied on blat, connections with reciprocal favors, specifically, knowing someone who had access to goods. As a defense attorney, I regularly got meat and other products from my clients who worked in various stores, which all belonged to the state—it was a system of universal corruption from the top to bottom. You can read the details in my book Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney (XLIBRIS, 2002, pp. 167–168).

Had you read Baltic Winds, you would find there my description of the word blat, which was the essential element of all business activities under the Soviet regime. Blat comprises two acts of bribery using connections as the very token symbol of Soviet socialism and the techniques of the Soviet Mafia (The Russian Factor, XLIBRIS, 2006 p. 284).

Many years ago, when I studied Marxism, I found that Marx had researched capitalism pretty well. I did not know anything about the capitalist economy and got the primary idea that capitalism was comprised of capital and labor. If the material on capital was introduced by Marx in detail, the part on labor was not. I was expecting him to identify and introduce a unit of labor. I did not see it. Had Marx been able to find a Unit of Labor, perhaps he wouldn’t need militancy and aggressiveness in his political theory—people could have solved their problems peacefully without a revolution. I am not an economist, and I cannot give you a final judgment on whether scientific socialism is utopian or not. Maybe it is a pure fraud.

I was surprised by the aggressive and arrogant social demands in Marx’s works, especially in his Manifesto. Now, living under capitalism, I find something dishonest and sloppy about Marxism as a whole. And I am not alone. I’d like to introduce you to almost the same opinions from another author and a researcher of Marxism, Paul Phillips, who produced voluminous works on both Marx and Engels. A couple of quotations will give you the big picture of Marxism and the author’s opinion: Marx and Engels’ statements on law and laws are scattered throughout their writings, frequently embedded in discussions of much broader compass and sometimes puzzling in their inconsistency and Marx here seems to make an invalid transition from the empirical sphere to the normative. . . . It is at this point that the invalid step takes place (Marx and Engels on Law and Laws by Paul Phillips, Martin Robertson: Oxford, 1980).

The only difference between us is that Mr. Phillips, although a gentleman, had not been exposed to the negative Marx’s theory. He never lived under socialism. I did, and yes, I have a definite antipathy to Marx and am very resentful of his creation. Law is the moral cement of any society. Soviet socialism, based on a questionable theory, was a lawless system, built on deception, lies, and fraud to serve one-party rule.

There is another big question about Marxism—whether dialectical materialism was correctly applied to Marxist theory: Dialectical materialism is the concept of the evolution of the natural world and the emergence of new qualities of being at new stages of evolution (Wikipedia).

I am not a philosopher, but observing capitalism from within and having experienced socialism, I believe that Marxist theory was artificially linked to world-renowned German philosophers of the nineteenth century like Hegel, a father of German idealism, and Feuerbach to bring a kind of fame to Marxism. They had two things in common with Marx-Hegelian idealism and Feuerbach’s atheism. But what does that have to do with class struggle?

Dialectical materialism itself remains a controversial theory. Of course, the world changes over time, but not necessarily through world revolution with millions killed. Engels himself had some doubts, expressed in the title, while admitting dialectical changes in the world: The whole world, natural, historical, intellectual, is represented as a process—i.e., as in constant motion, change, transformation, development; and the attempt is made to trace out the internal connection that makes a continuous whole of all this movement and development (Socialism: Utopian & Scientific, Friedrich Engels, 1880).

I agree that this is an evolutionary process. Any nation or race needs years, if not centuries, to develop civility and a working economic system. By the way, this idea can be applied to contemporary conditions in the Muslim world—Islam has not been developed further since the seventh century. Can you see the result? However, the difference between Engels’s views and my position is that of experience—Engels was a theorist; I lived through his theory made fact. I know the reality. He, like his friend Marx, was theorizing about the future of humanity. I lived through it.

If they were alive today, I would ask them two questions. Why did they give a leadership to a social underclass, and how was it possible that America, a developing capitalist economy, earned superpower status without class struggle in a mere two hundred years? My answer would be very simple—the highly educated and savvy American leaders created a new society, something that the underclass was unable to create. The result is obvious—America is an exceptional country; its government serves its people and is not infected by a very questionable ideology. There is division in America into white collar and blue collar. That’s it! No class struggle, no killings yet! Being a correspondent of New-York Tribune for ten years, Marx was supposed to know American history. He didn’t.

I regret that contemporary philosophers have avoided discussing the subject. What was the reason Karl Marx had avoided analyses of the Plymouth Colony, which had experienced a communal life?

More than two centuries before Karl Marx first expressed his idea of Socialism/Communism, William Bradford, Plymouth Colony’s governor in its first thirty years, wrote Pilgrims’ Socialist Experiment Failed (Westside Eagle Observer, November 27, 2019).

I don’t know why Marx avoided mentioning Plymouth Colony, yet for me, Karl Marx was not only a sloppy, but a dishonest and deceptive individual as well. The collapse of the Soviet Union was the appropriate time to analyze so, as it was a collapse of the socialist economy. Instead, the world’s euphoria prevented serious discussions and analyses. Knowing the consequences of Marxist teaching, I would argue that Marxism with its scientific appearance was used by charlatans and criminals to acquire power, to fool, abuse, manipulate, and exploit people.

Don’t be surprised by socialist charlatans who are still deceiving and misleading you. Just look at Bernie Sanders, who calls himself a Democratic Socialist. The term itself is an oxymoron—a democrat can’t be a socialist, a socialist can’t be democratic. The term reveals a total absence of the knowledge of socialism. Socialism means a dictatorship in a struggle to end freedom, individual liberty, and private property, which is the opposite of democracy. So-called Marxism caused immense destruction of the land and death for tens of millions of innocent people around the globe. Whether they recognize it or not, the people of this world need to know these things or continue to suffer the same fate.

CHAPTER 3

Lenin and Leninism

T HERE IS NO doubt—Lenin was a leader of the 1917 October Socialist Revolution in Russia. Yet the events after the revolution had been greatly influenced by the aggressive policies of the Marxists. The names of the two policies of the Soviet government speak for themselves: military communism and Red Terror .

The words of the two were not chosen accidentally—they came from the past, from the two Marxist militant concepts: class struggle and class antagonism. It was an attempt of the Soviet state to survive by imposing psychological fear, violence, and mass repressions on the people of the country. Visualize the people’s life for the preceding four years since WWI. Living in misery, the Russian people had been exhausted, worn out with the devastation of the war. In addition to the devastation, the war ended with the shameful defeat of Russia. This gloomy predicament in the country was complicated by the Russian civil war breaking out in different regions of the country.

There is no need to tell Americans about civil war. They know about their American Civil War and the devastation it had brought to their country. However, America had several decades between the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Russia had none of those decades of rest. Another difference is that the Russian Civil War swept the entire country extending throughout eleven time zones. It was an ideological war of Reds (the Red Army) against the Whites (enemies of the Soviet government). In that war, brother fought against brother, children against their parents, and vice versa. There are no words to describe the consequences of the Russian Civil War.

Terror always goes together with tragedy. If you predicted the response of the Russian people to Red Terror and military communism, you would be right—the mass uprising would have thrown out the Soviet government. However, in that exact historic moment, Vladimir Lenin declared NEP—a New Economic Policy. NEP allowed some private businesses to be revived. By declaring NEP, Lenin had stopped the bloodshed and gave some opportunity for the Russian people and the country to heal. Lenin knew the economics of capitalism and its entrepreneurial spirit. He knew how to revive business. That is the reason I did not call him a charlatan in the preceding chapter. Though he was vicious, he was also a very knowledgeable man.

Lenin grew up in a family of educators and spoke five languages fluently. Later on, he learned a great deal of how and when to maneuver in order to win during the years of his revolutionary activity. NEP was a positive maneuver by Lenin.

WWI had dramatically changed Russia. Afterward, the largest country in the world became a devastated landscape, including the fields that used to feed Europe. Extending as far as the eye could see, the land no longer grew wheat. Only flocks of black crows were making circles under gray skies looking for food on dead land, which had turned into a mixture of soil, snow, and human limbs.

Perhaps Lenin saw the picture and got the idea of who was responsible for enormous human grief and suffering. Life in the cities was full of misery and violence. One example will give you a big picture of the time. In the yard of the famous conservatory in the capital of the country, people organized a bonfire to keep warm, burning notes of the operas and symphonies written by the Russian composers—the music that had been adored by the entire world!

Though Lenin adhered to the Marxist theory of overthrowing capitalism by world revolution, the situation in Russia made him create a new approach to the theory of revolution. Leninism is more a political strategy, an ideological framework for a future policy. Leninism is a theory and practice developed by Lenin after Marxism and primarily applicable to economic conditions in Russia. Lenin knew the Marxist idea expressed on the last pages of Manifesto of the Communist Party about the specific condition in which socialism can be achieved. That specific condition for building a successful socialism was exactly identified—only in industrially developed European countries. Russia was not in that specific condition.

After the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution, Lenin had publicly confirmed his position on the Eleventh Congress of the Communist Party. He had declared that the social and economic conditions in Russia did not allow the application of Marxian theory in the country. Moreover, Lenin also stated that the model of the future social organization in Russia was in the stage of debate. His NEP could’ve changed the destiny of Russia, but unpredicted events played their tragic role in the county’s fate. Winston Churchill was heard saying, Russia’s greatest misfortune was Lenin’s birth. Russia’s second greatest misfortune was his death. Churchill was right.

For those Americans who are interested in the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, I have an appealing story. You know now what was going on in Soviet Russia at the time of his presidency. In America, a group of businessmen asked for a meeting with President Wilson in 1918. They came to him with warning about the events going on in Russia and requested $350,000 so they could fight a criminal government in Russia. President Wilson refused their request. At the end of the book, you will grasp the blunder committed by President Wilson.

CHAPTER 4

Stalin and Stalinism

M ARXISM HAD A dramatic impact on life in Europe. Aggressive mob leaders fed on the public disorder and violence, and their leadership produced the first socialist revolution in France. This was the period of the Paris Commune. The revolution produced enormous casualties and then failed very quickly. Those events were followed by socialist revolts in Hungary and German Bavaria. Both of them failed as well. Western civilization rejected their violent and destructive ideology—capitalism continued its development in those countries. I agree with Nietzsche that the envy of the poor is usually the main impulse to revolt. Furthermore, history shows that the leadership of any political movement plays a crucial role in shaping the outcome of a revolt—Lenin is the prime example of that concept.

There had been one earlier revolution in Russia in February 1917 (the February Revolution) that enjoyed widespread popular support. That revolution had a platform of fundamental social and constitutional reform that would move Russia toward Western-style democracy. The February Revolution took place in St. Petersburg and led to the abdication of Russian tsar Nicholas II on his own and his son’s behalf and the establishment of a provisional government in Russia.

The first successful socialist revolution took place in Russia in October 1917 (November 7 by the new calendar). Its official name in Russia was the Great October Socialist Revolution. The Bolshevik party and its leader Vladimir Lenin seized power under the banner of Marxism and the slogan proletarians of the world, unite! Yet some historians today consider the Great October Socialist Revolution, a meticulous and very well-organized coup d’état against the Provisional Government of Russia by parliamentary manipulations and tricks. By the way, Ayn Rand agreed with the concept of a coup d’état. Lenin’s leadership in the revolt is not questionable; however, we are currently talking about Soviet socialism—that entire model of social organization was created by Stalin and his global design later.

NEP, the New Economic Policy declared by Lenin, had indeed revived the economy in Russia. But it did not last long. Lenin died in 1924, and his NEP died with him. Joseph Stalin came to power, and that was the second milestone in the history of Russia. Had NEP continued, we would perhaps have a different Russia today. That is why I consider the declaration of NEP by Lenin to be the first historic moment in Russian destiny; the second one is Stalin’s seizure of power. As a matter of fact, the Soviet people called Soviet socialism Stalinism. Forms of Stalinism are alive and well today and not only in Russia.

Unlike Lenin, Stalin was not a highly educated individual, thus he was not able to run the country. His real name was Joseph Jugashvili. Stalin is the nickname he took from the Russian word for steel—Stalin. He was born in 1889 in Russia’s Christian province Georgia, on the Caucasus, surrounded by the Muslim world. Proximity of the Muslim culture had a strong effect on Stalin’s personality for the rest of his life. If I tell you that Stalin was a bank robber in his revolutionary career, you wouldn’t believe me. Therefore, let me give you an opinion of others about Stalin: He became one of the Bolshevik’s chief operatives in the Caucasus, organizing paramilitaries, inciting strikes, spreading propaganda and raising money through bank robberies, ransom kidnappings and extortions (Wikipedia).

I can also say that he was imprisoned five times, three of them for bank robberies. Violence, lawlessness, and the Muslim neighborhood surrounding him had been his real parents.

We in the West have heard only about 30 percent of the real true character of the man. Today you would call such a man a thug, monster, or con. Stalin was a brutal, manipulative, and maniacal, deceitful intriguer; he acquired power by moving up on the corpses of others. He was an extraordinary liar, deceiver, and hypocrite.

Two other features of his character stood out: The first one is that Stalin hated the Russian Orthodox Church and the Christian religion. The second one was his vindictiveness that had no barriers. Stalin grew up in a shoemaker’s family with a father who systematically beat him. His mother wanted him to be a priest, so she sent him to a church school in Georgia. He learned Russian there. After church school, he was admitted to an Orthodox seminary, which widened his horizon.

The Russian Orthodox Church was a highly respected authority in the Russian Empire. The emperor Nicholas was called the Messenger of God. The education there was the best in Europe. When he protested against the imperialist and religious order, he was expelled from the seminary. Yet the knowledge obtained there helped him tremendously to manipulate the West later on. Shortly after being expelled from the seminary, Stalin joined a revolutionary movement, became a convert to Marxism, and got an assignment to begin organizing the Marxist group in the Caucasus Mountains area that was well known to him.

In 1903, his Marxist group had become the Bolshevik party.

One fact of Stalin’s biography is the most important, considering the situation in the world today—his street education in Islam, the second and the most valuable for him, was Muslim culture. It became his second university in life. His attitude to women testified to that. You can see it throughout his entire reign of power—no women in the government. His personal life and the mysterious death of his second wife, a young and active Alliluyeva, tell us of a tragic story.

Stalin was surrounded by the Muslim world his entire childhood. He loved and knew the Muslim culture pretty well; his proclivity to lie perhaps came from Koran, which allows lying if it benefits Islam. This rule of Koran is called Taqiyya (the spelling can be wrong). Stalin learned that Islam was divided into the Sunni and Shiite sects, and he found out how to manipulate both. This was crucial to the future development and explanation of Stalinism, a fact I will repeat many times.

While organizing Marxists of the Caucasus, Stalin had the opportunity to go over the border. The country of Azerbaijan was divided at that time, one part in Russia and the other in Iran. The language was the same, and Stalin could propagate Marxism in both countries. He maintained an interest in Iran from that time onward. In 1911, the money he obtained through bank robberies helped him establish Pravda, the Truth, later the official daily of the Communist Party of the USSR. Living in St. Petersburg, Stalin played an important secret role in guiding the Bolshevik deputies in the Duma (Russian parliament) and in directing the Bolshevik Party press against the Provisional Government. Stalin served the Bolshevik and the Communist parties pretty well.

The sense of ambition and desire for prestige has always been a driving impulse for Stalin. His first official post in the Soviet government was the People’s Commissar of Nationalities. In 1922, he became the general secretary of the Communist Party, the post he held to the day of his death on March 5, 1953.

He stigmatized the rich, cultivating hate against them and lust for revenge to create envy and resentment in the masses. Under the condition of secrecy, overwhelming fear, and intimidation, Stalin had created a centralized system that brought enormous suffering to the people—he killed more people than all Russian tsars combined. After Lenin’s death, debate ended on the future Russian socioeconomic model. Stalin decisively took the wheel of power in his own hands.

Unlike Lenin, Stalin had no excellent educational background, but he did not let that deter him from persistently implementing his own vision of the country’s future in building a so-called Communist society. Violence shaped his personality from childhood, and throughout his entire life, force, violence, and ferocity had prevailed in his behavior. He began building his communism, or Soviet socialism, according to the personal features of his character. His targets and victims have always been low-skilled and low-educated people, emulating Marx’s proletariat. Only through the prism of his personality you can grasp the entire essence of the Stalinist Soviet socialism He introduced the world with incredible hatred, viciousness, let alone an unprecedented violence.

CHAPTER 5

The Stalinist Dictatorship

M ARXIST THEORY, WHICH opened Pandora’s box in the nineteenth century, marched across the globe to the twentieth century. It was used by adventurers, charlatans, and criminals to acquire power, to fool, mislead, manipulate, and then to abuse and exploit people around the globe. The leader who had all the negative human characteristics mentioned above was Joseph Stalin.

Unlike Lenin, Stalin had no educational background, but persistently implemented his own vision of the country’s future in building a so-called communist society. Since his childhood, violence formed his personality; and throughout his entire life, force, violence, and ferocity prevailed in his behavior. He began building his communism, or Soviet socialism, according to the personal features of his character. I have to repeat that only through the prism of his personality you can grasp the entire essence of the Stalinist Soviet socialism.

After Lenin’s death, Stalin took power into his own hands in the Kremlin. His first task was that of making his dictatorship absolute by liquidating all opposition within the party. He immediately started building his cult of personality. The Encyclopedia Britannica Online identifies it as following: A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media propaganda, or other methods, to create an idealized and heroic public image often through unquestioning flattery and praise.

Stalin did all that to lead the country out of poverty into a bright communist future. His cult of personality portrayed him as larger than life itself and endowed him with unrivaled wisdom. If Lenin claimed that the workers suffered from false consciousness and therefore needed a vanguard party to guide them, Stalin redirected his
