Nataliya Narochnitskaya: People hate Stalin in the west not because of repressions

President o the Fund of historic perspectives, head of the European University of democracy and development, deputy of the State Duma of IV calling, Doctor of Historical Sciences Nataliya Narochnitskaya: ‘Hitler prepared for them the role of hogmen’.

In time of the Soviet Union my father, Academician of pedagogical sciences was a part of the bilateral committees on history textbooks published together with different countries. For instance, there was a Soviet-German Commission on covering of history of each other in textbooks… So it’s not only our problem, and there are people who also understand that the history and philosophy are certain nurseries of human ideals and the creators of a certain ideological frame.

All states all around the world are monitoring this, because people still perceive it at the level of philosophical axioms, rather than documents.

It is useless to argue with the West that Ivan the Terrible squandered less people for 30 years of the reign than Catherine de Medici for the Massacre of St. Bartholomew.All the same, we are barbarians, and the West is good! For me, as a historian, it is clear that the West hates Stalin not for the repression where he was not the first and not the only one. For example, they do not condemn Robespierre and Cromwell, however there were more people subjected to repressions!

Stalin is hated by the West for the restoration of the historical territory of the Russian state (as Pushkin said, “From Finnish mountains fiery Colchis”) and for Yalta and Potsdam. It is our motherland, and only we can judge him, and they keep on trying to persuade us we did not win the Great Patriotic War, and that Americans won it…

But only we have the right to debunk something in its history, and not let everything around the world use our discussion of history in order to deal with a curse of our Great Victory!First of all History is based on facts and documents. Of course, it always depends on the interpretation of philosophy, through which passes a historical fact.

For example, from the point of view of the communist ideology, the struggle against the monarchy and autocracy – this is a positive fact.

And through the prism of conservatism is a fact negative. Nevertheless, there are concrete facts – whether was a struggle or not, who exploded and who did not … We are accused of “planted” Communism, which, they say, is worse than the Hitler project. Wow – worse!

Agricultural nations – Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Romanians left us with violinists, professors from the Academies of Sciences, with the package of engineering, with a cinema, etc. Hitler was preparing them the role of swineherds and chambermaids who hardly are able to read signs in German and Baltic States in general should be Ingermanland.

According to the plan “Ost”, developed by the forces of “SS” and approved by Hitler, from Ingermanland was to evict all nations, including Ingrian Finnish and Germans to populate the vacant territory. It is a fact! But now is implanted another worldview that is fundamentally changing the whole idea of the twentieth century and creates a basic denial of Russia as a historical phenomenon. Our task is not just protecting our insulted pride, and it is necessary to solve the problem of the state! After all, if you leave all this without attention and reaction, the USSR will be backdated to declare a criminal state, and therefore, to call in question all the decisions taken with his participation, his signature under important regional documents, under the charter of the UN, etc.… But the legal successor of the positions that have been conquered by including blood, is today’s Russia. Yes, revaluation, awareness and understanding of history in a broader context happens all the time.

I believe that it is normal and it is necessary. However, it is necessary to get rid of the errors off the past and refuse of the past without mocking at our ancestors and not committing the Bible sin!
