1893. Mao Zedong was born

120 years ago, on December 26, 1893, the leader of the Chinese Communists and one of the main theorists of the partisan war in the 20th century Mao Zedong was born. He spent large -scale political repressions in China and created the cult of his own personality on the model of Stalinsky. An attempt to move on to communism during a “big jump” through the mass creation of folk communes ended in mass hunger, during which from 10 to 30 million people died. During the “cultural revolution” of the second half of the 60s, several million people became victims of repressions, including up to a million dead. First of all, the old party cadres and the intelligentsia suffered.
