I congratulate all Soviet people on the birthday of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Dzhugashvili), the man who led our country in the years of its greatest upsurge and prosperity!

There were years, fighting years
The Motherland was blazing with fire,
We went on hot trips
For your teacher - the leader!
We were led into battle by Comrade Stalin,
First Marshal - Voroshimov Klim
And we drove the enemies far away
To the border of Stalin's land.

In his country, free and beautiful
We breathe freely, we live happily,
And national love and gratitude
We carry to our native Stalin ...

Our peaceful labor in the fields and factories
We give to the fatherland dear
War-ravaged towns and villages
Our working people have raised up again.

Let the enemies threaten a cold war -
Our people follow the path of friendship
In foreign lands, ordinary people know -
Great Stalin calls everyone to peace.

Soar over the world banners,
After all, with us, comrades,
Whose name is in the hearts of millions
How the best song lives.

Everyone in the world is stronger and freer,
Happy Soviet people.
Your fiery voice today
He serves for Stalin!

If Stalin's dear
I would meet in my life
I would be dear to Stalin,
To our friend he said:

Dear Comrade Stalin,
The leader of the great October,
It was you who gave me happiness
People brought me out!

Never native country
I didn't love so much
Never am I fighting
The service did not go through.

never such songs
I didn't sing while hiking
Never more wonderful
I did not meet the commanders.

Never seen in my life
I am such happy faces
Do not shore such a homeland.
Do not guard such boundaries.

You gave protection to the country,
Strengthened the borders.
Dear Comrade Stalin,
Allow me to report:

If only it comes
Word of the army to say
We have something to fight for
There is someone to protect!

That's what Stalin's dear,
I told our friend
If Stalin's dear
I would meet in my life.

If they meet us at home
A few old friends
All that we remember dearly,
The song sounds more fun.

Well, comrades, let's break out the table
Above the glasses of wine
Let's drink for our free Motherland,
Let's drink and drink again.

Let's drink for Russian daring seething,
For the rich people!
Let's drink to our mighty army,
Let's drink to the valiant fleet!

Let's get up, comrades, let's drink to the guards,
She has no equal in courage.
Our toast to Stalin! Our toast to the Party!
Our toast to the banner of victory!

Union indestructible free republics
United forever Great Russia.
Long live the one created by the will of the peoples
United, mighty Soviet Union!

Friendship, peoples reliable stronghold!

May it lead from victory to victory!

Through the storms the sun of freedom shone for us,
And the great Lenin lit the way for us.
We were raised by Stalin - for loyalty to the people
He inspired us to work and deeds.

Hail, our free Fatherland,
The happiness of the peoples is a reliable stronghold!
Soviet banner, national banner

We raised our army in battles,
We'll sweep the vile invaders out of the way!
We decide the fate of generations in battles,
We will lead our Fatherland to the glory!

Lenin's banner flies over the world,
Calls to the path of struggle and exploits.

The sun is open to us,
The fires of victory over the country are burning,
Comrade Stalin lives to our joy -
Our wise leader, dear teacher.

In the fire of labor and in the flame of battles
Stalin tempered the hearts of heroes.
Like a light beam, his mighty genius
He lit the way for us to communism.

We build happiness with an unbending will,
The road to us is indicated by the Leader;
Raising high red banners,
We are going to communism for Stalin.

In the lucky republics of our country
The peoples are full of joy and happiness;
They speak in different languages
But everywhere the same thoughts are burning:

The country is you!
The country is me!
In battle and in work with you, we are friends.
Worthy of the glory of great victories,
I elect you to the Supreme Council!

My Stalin is a beloved teacher and friend,
Millions of hands are outstretched to you
You are the first of the first in labor and struggle,
We bring you all the best feelings!

You are a fearless fighter of the Red Army,
And you always keep lead ready,
You guard my happiness like a brother,
You are the best and devoted my deputy!

If there is war tomorrow, if the enemy attacks,
If the dark force comes,
As one person, the entire Soviet people
Stand up for a free Motherland.

On earth, in heaven and at sea
Our melody is both powerful and severe:
If tomorrow is war
If the hike is tomorrow,
Get ready to go today!

If tomorrow there is a war, the country will stir
From Kronstadt to Vladivostov.
The country will shake, great and strong,
And we will crush the enemy cruelly.

A plane will fly, a machine gun will rumble,
Mighty tanks will rumble
And the battleships will go, and the infantry will go,
And dashing carts will rush.

We do not want war, but we will defend ourselves,
We strengthen the defense not in vain,
And on enemy land we will defeat the enemy
Little blood, mighty blow!

There is nowhere in the whole world such a force,
To crush our country
Stalin is with us, dear, and with an iron hand
Voroshilov is leading us to victory!

Get up people, get ready for a hike!
Drums, drum harder!
Musicians, go! Singers, go ahead!
Resound our victory song!

Sing a ringing song
Sing the song more cheerfully.
For your native side,
About his mighty strength.

Let's crush with a stern hand,
We will defeat the Nazis all in battle.
We are at the call of Stalin, dear
We go to battle for our Motherland.

Where the mountain eagle flies

The people compose a beautiful song.

This song flies faster than a bird
And the world of oppressors viciously trembles
Posts and borders will not hold her
She will not be held by any borders.

She is not afraid of whips or bullets
This song sounds in the fire of the barricades,
Sing this song and rickshaw and coolies,
This song is sung by a Chinese soldier.

And raising a song about him like a banner
The united front marches in ranks;
Burning, a formidable flame flares up,
The peoples rise for the last struggle.

And we sing this song proudly
And we glorify the greatness of the Stalin years,
We sing about life, beautiful, happy,
About the joy of our great victories!

From end to end, over the mountain peaks
Where the planes conduct their conversation,
About Stalin, the wise, dear and beloved
the people sing a beautiful song.

Accept, Great Stalin, our Father,
Love for the homeland of devoted hearts,
Accept the bow of your people
On your happy birthday!

We all sing the praise of your deeds,
Live our Leader, live for our joy!

You have illuminated our age with a clear light,
You are the closest person to all of us,
With you we have traveled a glorious, difficult path,
Fighting for the honor of their native land.

You lead us dear Lenin,
You call us all to new feats,
With you we entered the solar life,
Fighting for peace and building communism!

The armor is strong, and our tanks are fast,
And our people are full of courage:
Soviet tankers are in the ranks -
Sons of their great Motherland.

Thundering with fire, sparkling with the brilliance of steel
Cars will go on a furious march,
When Comrade Stalin sends us into battle
And Voroshilov will lead us into battle!

Factory labor and collective farm labor
We will protect, keeping our country,
The impact force of the gun turrets
And speed, and the onslaught of fire.

Let the enemy remember, hiding in an ambush
We are on the alert, we are watching the enemy.
We do not want an inch of foreign land,
But we will not give up our inch.

And if a seasoned enemy climbs to us,
He will be beaten everywhere and everywhere!
Then the drivers will press the starters
And through the forests, through the hills, through the water.

The love for our native land burns in our hearts,
We are going into mortal combat for the honor of our native country.
Cities are burning, engulfed in smoke.
The stern god of war thunders in the dense forests.

Artillerymen! Stalin gave the order!
Artillerymen, the Motherland is calling us.
Of the many thousands of batteries
For the tears of our mothers
For our Motherland - Fire! Fire!

Find out your own mother, find out your wife is a friend,
Recognize a distant home and all my family,
That our steel blizzard still beats the enemy,
That we carry the will to our native lands!

The hour will strike white, the campaigns will end.
But before leaving for the homes of their relatives,
In honor of our Leader, in honor of our people,
We will give a joyful salute at the midnight hour.

Many stars shine in the sky
And one crystal;
Lots of thoughts in mind
From native Stalin.

Blooms like a spring garden
Our glorious land;
Beloved Stalin spoke
It's about happiness from the Kremlin.

Through the rivers, through the distance,
On a quiet golden evening
Dear Comrade Stalin,
I heard your voice.

Songs flow in streams
The songs have strong words.
The constitution provides
We all have great rights.

We would like to see Stalin
We would like to talk to him
Tell me how in the collective farm
It became fun for us to live.

Oh my gardens, little gardens,
Blooms all around in spring.
Oh, on the collective farm we are happy
and we live prosperously.

Oh my gardens are blooming
Songs are pouring over the village.
Dear Comrade Stalin,
We thank you helmet.

Let the sun shine brighter
Let gardens and fields bloom
To be even more beautiful
Our glorious land.

Wide is my native land,
There are many forests, fields and rivers in it!
I don't know any other country like this
Where a man breathes so freely.

At the table, no one is superfluous,
Everyone is rewarded according to merit,
We write in golden letters
All-People's Stalinist Law.

Morning colors with gentle light
Walls of the ancient Kremlin
Wakes up at dawn
All Soviet land.

The cold runs through the gate
The noise in the streets is louder.
Good morning dear city
Heart of my Motherland!

seething, mighty,
Nobody is invincible
My country, my Moscow,
You are the most beloved!

May sun, brighter
Light up the blue sky.
To the tower of the Mausoleum
To convey our joy.

To shine brighter
Our slogans of victory
For Stalin to raise his hand,
Sending us hello.

We grow, we sing, we play
We live in a happy time
With a friendly song we open
Pioneer is our joyful home.

You, trams, ring quieter,
By the river, on the Boulevard Ring,
For beloved Stalin to hear
Our song in the Kremlin Palace.

On the green oak
Yes, over that space
Two clear falcons
They had conversations.

And these falcons
People all know:
The first falcon is Lenin,
The second falcon is Stalin.
And flew around
Falcon flock...

Oh like the first falcon
Goodbye to the second
He is with a dying word
Addressed to a friend.

You are my gray falcon,
The time has come to part
All labors, worries
They fall on you.

And the other replied:
Forget your worries
We swear to you
Let's not get off the road!

And he kept his vow
Battle oath.
He made happy
All over my own country!

In the vastness of the wonderful homeland,
Tempered in battles and labor,
We composed a joyful song
about the great Friend and Leader.

Sunny and brightest edge
The whole Soviet land became.
Stalin's plentiful harvest.
Collective-farm fields are expanding.

We've been given shining wings
Great courage has been given to us.
Songs of love and abundance
The Soviet Country is famous.

Stalin is our military glory!
Stalin - our youth flight!
With songs, fighting and winning,
Our people are following Stalin!

December 21 is known to many as Stalin's birthday. According to official Soviet data, he was born on December 9/21, 1879. This day is celebrated by all the Stalinists of Russia and the world. Red carnations are laid at the grave of the Soviet leader, and sites sympathetic to the Soviet leader post materials in his honor.

However, most Stalinists do not even suspect that Stalin was not born on this day or even this year. Stalin's real birthday is December 6/18, 1878. That is, the 135th anniversary of the Soviet leader has just passed. But the Stalinists did not mark him. They marked the wrong date.

The date December 6/18, 1878 is the date of birth indicated in the official metric record of the baptism of Joseph Dzhugashvili (see below an extract from the metric book with the seal of Stalin's archive).
Is there some mistake here? No. There is no error here. The archive of Stalin even contains a photocopy of the page of the parish book itself with a record of Stalin's baptism. And even people unfamiliar with the Georgian language can see that under the name Joseph, the date of birth is indicated - the 6th.

The metric book is not the only one that testifies to Stalin's real birthday.
It is important to note that Joseph Dzhugashvili, during his studies both at the Gori Theological School and at the Tiflis Theological Seminary, was listed as born exactly on December 6/18, 1878. No discrepancies were observed here. And there are several documents confirming this. In many references, the only correct date of birth of Joseph Dzhugashvili was indicated - December 6/18, 1878.

Here we present one of such supporting documents. This is a certificate of completion of the four classes of the Joseph Dzhugashvili Seminary (see below). The certificate clearly reads "born on the sixth day of December in the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight."

Why was the date of birth changed by Stalin later? There are two versions of the new date.

1. The new date was indicated in the falsified passport of citizen Ivanovich, according to which Stalin traveled to London for the congress of the RSDLP. The convention was held at the "Fraternity Church" on the Southroad. Together with members of the RSDLP, members of the Bund and socialists from separatist Polish groups also participated in it. After attending the London convention, Stalin decided to keep this falsified date of birth for underground fighting and confusing the police.

2. The new date of Stalin's birth is actually the date of the beginning of the December 1905 Moscow armed uprising. Stalin decided to keep it as a symbolic date for the birth of the revolution.

Thus, everything in the veneration of Stalin is distorted and confused. Nothing can be trusted. And even Stalin's birthday is distorted. And the Stalinists are actually celebrating the beginning of the December armed rebellion of 1905.

In the coming years, we should observe the process of some rethinking of this fact among the Stalinists. It is possible that they will continue the annual celebration of the December armed revolt in Moscow instead of Stalin's birthday. Then this will lead to the discrediting of Stalin himself and themselves. How can you celebrate a fake birthday? And is it possible to celebrate the day of the beginning of an armed rebellion against the legitimate government instead of a real birthday?

Another way out is also possible. Maybe they will change the date of the celebration of the birthday of their leader. But then you have to explain why it happened. We'll have to explain why Stalin changed his date of birth and lied to the whole country.

We cannot now predict which path the Stalinists will take. However, one thing is clear. This is another evidence of the untruth of the enemy of God Stalin and the Stalinists themselves.

Commander Stalin

When Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was in his 62nd year. He, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party, a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, was entrusted by the highest party and state bodies of the country with the posts of Chairman of the State Defense Committee, People's Commissar of Defense, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. He headed the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command.

Stalin gave this colossal power, all his strength, all his will and all his talent as a politician and statesman to the defense of the Union, the Soviet Socialist Republics, to winning victory over Nazi Germany and its allies. Stalin became one of the organizers of the anti-Hitler coalition. He decided on the entry of the USSR into the war with Japan in order to ensure the security of the country's Far Eastern borders and eliminate the hotbed of aggression in Asia. With the defeat of militaristic Japan, the end of World War II came. Stalin, together with the leaders of the allied powers, laid the foundations of the post-war world order.

In the turning point of 1943, I. V. Stalin was awarded the military rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union, and in the year of Victory in the Great Patriotic War - the highest military rank - Generalissimo of the Soviet Union. Commander Stalin exercised leadership of all the Armed Forces of the country, daily directed and controlled the combat operations of all front-line and army formations of the army in the field.

In addition, his activities permeated all the most important aspects of the greatest of the wars in history, in other words, in addition to the military problems proper, they covered all spheres of the internal and foreign policy of the Soviet state - from the military economy and ideology to diplomacy, was closely connected with the hard work of the Communist Party on leadership of the country.

The memory of I. V. Stalin is associated with the greatest event in modern history. No tricks and juggling will be able to overshadow the significance of our Great Victory, undermine the authority of Soviet military art, belittle and distort the activities of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and commander I.V. Stalin with his military associates.

The feat of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War will serve as a powerful spiritual support for many generations, inspire confidence in their abilities at the sharpest and most severe turns in their historical fate.

And it is no coincidence that the efforts of the enemies of our Fatherland are aimed at destroying this moral support of the people, at deheroizing, belittling the feat of soldiers, generals and marshals of the Great Army, partisans, home front workers.

The campaign of lies and slander against the Soviet Army was launched in foreign countries during the Second World War - during the liberation of Soviet territory from Nazi invaders, during the great liberation campaign of the Soviet Army to deliver the peoples of Europe and Asia from Hitler's slavery and the aspirations of the Japanese militarists. . This campaign flourished especially during the Cold War.

Through the criticism of I. V. Stalin, the path was paved to criticize the party, to debunk the achievements of Soviet power and our victory in the Great Patriotic War. The all-crossing criticism of Stalin was the first stage and, at the same time, the most important means of the struggle against socialism. Through the criticism of Stalin as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the path went to a total criticism of the Great Patriotic War. The followers of this line moved further along this path, increasingly vulgarizing the great feat of the people.

I. V. Stalin upon his return from the Tehran Conference in 1943, as the Chief Air Marshal recalled

A. E. Golovanov, said: “I know that when I am gone, not one tub of dirt will be poured on my head. But I am sure that the wind of history will dispel all this ”(Commanders. M., 1995, p. 31).

It is appropriate to recall the story of the famous revolutionary, the USSR ambassador to Sweden, Alexandra Mikhailovna Kollontai. In her archive, as Professor M.I. Trush testifies, a record of a conversation with Stalin in November 1939, that is, on the eve of the Soviet-Finnish war, has been preserved. “Many deeds of our party and people,” said Stalin, “will be distorted and spat on, primarily abroad, and in our country too. Zionism, striving for world domination, will cruelly take revenge on us for our successes and achievements. He still views Russia as a barbarian country, as a raw material appendage. And my name will also be slandered, slandered. Many evil deeds will be attributed to me.World Zionism will strive with all its might to destroy our Union so that Russia can never rise again. The strength of the USSR is in the friendship of peoples. The edge of the struggle will be directed primarily at breaking this friendship, at tearing the border regions away from Russia. Here, we must admit, we have not done everything yet. There is still a lot of room for work here.

Nationalism will raise its head with particular force. It will crush internationalism and patriotism for a while, only for a while. There will be national groups within nations and conflicts. Many pygmy leaders will appear, traitors within their nations.

In general, in the future, development will go in more complex and even frenzied ways, the turns will be extremely sharp. The point is that the East will be especially agitated. There will be sharp contradictions with the West.

And yet, no matter how events develop, time will pass, and the eyes of new generations will be turned to the deeds and victories of our socialist Fatherland. Year after year new generations will come. They will once again raise the banner of their fathers and grandfathers and give us their due in full.

They will build their future on our past.”(G. Kosolapov: “What is it, the truth about Stalin?”. "Pravda", 1998, N "55, June 2-4).

The problem of "Stalin during the Great Patriotic War" is relevant and fundamental in modern conditions. The debunking of Stalin as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief became one of the main methods in the campaign of slandering the Great Patriotic War, the feat of the Soviet people and its Army, the feat of partisans and home front workers.

Without unraveling this tangle of lies, it is impossible to restore the truth about the most important stage in the history of the Soviet state and world history - about the heroic and dramatic struggle of the Soviet Union against fascist Germany and its satellites, against the Japanese militarists.

Stalin - Supreme Commander

There are many important dates in world history that stirred up a specific time or turned back an entire era. More often behind these dates, events are certain individuals. That is why their birthdays also become large, important historical dates celebrated by descendants. The birthday of I.V. Stalin is in a series of such.

The contribution of Joseph Vissarionovich to the history of our socialist Motherland is invaluable. For almost 30 years he headed the Bolshevik Party, was the head of the Soviet government, and during the Great Patriotic War he was entrusted with heading the state. Under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, the Soviet people were able to achieve unprecedented results: the population of the country and its well-being grew, thousands of new factories were put into operation, scientific laboratories, educational institutions, kindergartens, museums, theaters were built and created, the most democratic constitution in history was adopted. and much more. Led by Stalin, the Soviet people were able to be the first in the world to build socialism, carry out the most powerful industrialization and collectivization in world history, complete the cultural revolution, defeat Nazism and open the way for the peoples of the planet to peace and the struggle for justice.

Stalin was a faithful student and closest associate of V.I. Lenin.

He brilliantly continued the work and strengthened the teachings of Marx, Engels and Lenin. Even today, his works are an important source of knowledge that feeds us on the path of a difficult struggle. Having lost it, our forces will be weakened, and the struggle will become futile. For the Stalinist legacy is not only a revolutionary theory, but also a colossal practical experience of revolutionary transformations in the country of victorious socialism. Therefore, on the day of his 138th birthday, we can safely say: Stalin's cause is our business!

In memory of Stalin, grateful descendants erect monuments to him. In just two years (2015-2016), about 15 monuments depicting the leader appeared in Russia.

Today, the struggle against the desecration of Stalin is the business of every communist. Only by joining the struggle everywhere, we will be able to win in this matter. Someone will say - why? This is not the kind of work that communists should be doing under present-day conditions. "Not!" - we declare! The desecration of Stalin is a deed begun by the enemies of socialism, taken up by revisionists within the USSR and continued by their descendants today. Stopping the campaign of anti-Stalinism, washing away the dirt and perpetuating the memory of Stalin is the business of today. A matter that must not be postponed!

So let's study Stalin's legacy, learn from Stalin and fight for Stalin! His cause is the cause of today's generations, the memory of him is the struggle to cleanse socialism of myths and dirty lies!

“Why did my mother keep a portrait of Stalin? She was a peasant woman. Before collectivization, our family lived well. But at what cost did it come? Hard work from dawn to dusk. And what were the prospects for her children (she gave birth to eleven children!)? Become peasants, at best - artisans. Collectivization has begun. And as a result of this, in our family one person became a professor, another became a factory director, a third became a colonel, three became engineers. I don't want to use evaluative expressions "good" and "bad". I just want to say that in that era there was an unprecedented rise in the history of mankind of many millions of people from the very bottom of society into craftsmen, engineers, teachers, doctors, artists, officers, writers, directors, etc.

Stalin, get up!

Our Fatherland to the brim

Full of pain, anxiety

She bleeds

She suffers in agony.

Darkness does not melt over the country,

The demon tears it into pieces,

Russia remembers Stalin

Stalin is calling louder.

Walked steadily through adversity

To the cherished goals forward

In the best light years

Proud Soviet people.

And a guiding star

In everyday struggle and labor

The name of the leader is dear

It dawned on us then.

Stalin! On the right course

You led your State.

Stalin! When would you come back

We would not be crushed in battle.

Floated posters and songs

The breadth of colored squares,

The holidays were wonderful

Joyful faces of people.

And from Khiva to Taimyr,

And from the Carpathians to the Kuriles

Fortress of Truth and Peace

There was our Union-giant.

Stalin! Millions of hearts

They fought with yours in unison,

And the columns filled

The rustle of red banners.

Russian people, wake up -

We are at the last line

Do not hide in your burrows,

Like blind moles

In the days of the cursed, evil

Indestructible wall

Stand up for the wounds, dear ones,

Children of the State of one.

Rise under the Red Banner

In the battle for their land -

Faith in victory and Stalin

We will not be left in battle.

Stalin! Calls you

Honest Soviet people.

Stalin! The country is dying!

Stalin! Lead us forward!

Stalin! Get up from the grave!

Stalin! Look at the country!

Stalin! Captured is our strength!

Stalin! Motherland is in captivity!

She won the battles

Went on a daring journey.

Stalin! You are our glory.

Stalin! Lead us forward!

The myth that Stalin was born on December 21, 1879 is one of the most enduring and harmless in all anti-Stalinism. Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was personally involved in the emergence of the myth. It happened in the following way. One of his assistants, filling out questionnaires and biographical information for him in 1921-1922, apparently made a mistake due to a misunderstanding. For some unknown reason, Stalin did not correct them. Although before that he always indicated that he was born in 1878. For example, when filling out a questionnaire with questions about his biography addressed to him by the Swedish left-wing social democratic newspaper Folkets Dagblad Politkin in 1920, Stalin accurately indicated the year of his birth. By the way, this is the only document where the year of birth is affixed by Stalin's hand. From that time on, the myth began about December 21, 1879 as the date of Stalin's birth. The biographical chronicle of the first volume of the collected works of Stalin indicates that he was born on December 9 (21), 1879. Considering that the collected works and the biographical chronicle were compiled under the personal control of Stalin, therefore, in the end, the author of the myth about this date of his birth should be considered Stalin. After all, his collected works were already out of print after the war, when more than a quarter of a century had passed since the first mistake made and then uncorrected. Accordingly, if he himself did not wish to correct these data, then indeed, involuntarily, one has to consider him the author of this myth. Moreover, when for the first time this birthday was officially celebrated, and it happened on December 21, 1929, Stalin again did not react in any way to an obvious mistake.

To be precise to the end, it should be pointed out that for the first time 1879 as the year of his birth appeared in the documents of the tsarist police back in 1910. Obviously, this was due to the fact that Stalin was then arrested with a fake passport, which indicated this particular year. Then, after leaving the exile, when he received a real passport, the police again indicated this year of his birth. In principle, then not much attention was paid to such subtleties. It ended with the fact that already after October 1917 it turned out to be easier to put up with this well-established inaccuracy than to correct all the documents anew. And the revolutionaries did not have time for that. There was a Civil War - before the straightening of passports they were ?!

The same should be said about his birthday. December 21, New Style (December 9, Old Style) as Stalin's birthday has appeared in official documents since 1918. Who made a mistake in this case - made a mistake - it is even approximately impossible to establish.

But the entry in the metric book of the Dormition Cathedral in Gori testifies that in fact Joseph Dzhugashvili was born December 6/18, 1878. He was baptized on December 17/29, 1878. This was first established in 1990 by the historian L.M. Spirin.

The main thing in all this myth is that Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, who entered world history under the pseudonym Stalin, was born on the day of memory of the most revered in Russia and in general among all Orthodox Nicholas the Wonderworker (Nikola the winter, Nicholas the saint)!

As a modern person, the author is far from mysticism. Nevertheless, it is impossible not to pay attention to this coincidence, amazing in its mystical essence. It is impossible to imagine that it did not have its own specific influence on Stalin. After all, how he stood guard over the interests of Russia! How he protected her! Yes, he made mistakes, perhaps considerable ones - it is pointless to deny. Only those who do nothing do not make mistakes. But the result of his activity is the Greatest Power of the World! He took power in the smoking ruins and with a plow. And he left not just the Greatest Power of the World. His successors inherited an economically developed state with a strong industry, developed agriculture, a powerful science that was already on the verge of a breakthrough into the space age, a flourishing culture, . That's what's important! Furthermore. It was he who, even before the war, put an end to the persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church!

So Stalin could not, could not but feel the influence of the great saint! That's why this is the result! Such prominent representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church as the Patriarchal Locum Tenens Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Sergiy (Stragorodsky), Patriarch of All Russia Alexy I (Simansky), Archbishop Luka (an outstanding Soviet surgeon V.F. Voy-no-Yasenetsky) and others called Stalin "God-given leader", because he "Saved Russia, showed what it means to the world".

What jackal invented the myth that Stalin proved himself a villain, because he was born on December 21, is now impossible to establish. However, jackals always bark at lions! This yelping itself is built on a belief common in the Persian area: those born on this day - children of evil.

However, as was already shown in the analysis of the previous myth, Stalin could not have been any villain on the day of his birth. Not to mention the fact that it is not at all clear what relation “the belief widespread in the Persian area” has to Stalin. However, why this was invented is not difficult to guess. This, so to speak, supposedly "scientific-mystical explanation" of the beginning of everything that is usually groundlessly called "Stalin's tyranny." In politics, more precisely, in political struggle, it is always so. Usually, everything is explained by supposedly very simple “facts” for the perception of the layman. Here a man was born on the day of evil - that means a sinister! And point! After all, the layman never bothers himself with any kind of reflection, especially checks. This is what the whole anti-Stalinian is built on..
