Stalin. The leaders <strong>of</strong> the CPSU have seriously isolatedthemselves from the masses. They always feel they are beingthreatened by the haunting spectre <strong>of</strong> Stalin, which is infact the broad masses’ great dissatisfacti<strong>on</strong> with the completenegati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Stalin. So far Khrushchov has not dared <strong>to</strong> letthe Soviet people and the other people in the socialist campsee the secret report completely negating Stalin which hemade <strong>to</strong> the 20th C<strong>on</strong>gress <strong>of</strong> the CPSU, because it is a reportwhich cannot bear the light <strong>of</strong> day, a report which wouldseriously alienate the masses.Especially noteworthy is the fact that while they abuseStalin in every possible way, the leaders <strong>of</strong> the CPSU regardEisenhower, Kennedy and the like “with respect and trust”. 1They abuse Stalin as a “despot <strong>of</strong> the type <strong>of</strong> Ivan the Terrible”and “the greatest dicta<strong>to</strong>r in Russian his<strong>to</strong>ry”, but complimentboth Eisenhower and Kennedy as “having the support<strong>of</strong> the absolute majority <strong>of</strong> the American people”! 2 Theyabuse Stalin as an “idiot” but praise Eisenhower and Kennedyas “sensible”! On the <strong>on</strong>e hand, they viciously lash at a great<strong>Marx</strong>ist-Leninist, a great proletarian revoluti<strong>on</strong>ary and agreat leader <strong>of</strong> the internati<strong>on</strong>al communist movement, and<strong>on</strong> the other, they laud the chieftains <strong>of</strong> imperialism <strong>to</strong> theskies. Is there any possibility that the c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> betweenthese phenomena is merely accidental and that it does notfollow with inexorable logic from the betrayal <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marx</strong>ism-Leninism?If his memory is not <strong>to</strong>o short, Khrushchov ought <strong>to</strong> rememberthat at a mass rally held in Moscow in January 1937 hehimself rightly c<strong>on</strong>demned those who had attacked Stalin,saying, “In lifting their hand against Comrade Stalin, theylifted it against all <strong>of</strong> us, against the working class and theworking people!
