50% of Russians surveyed on the eve of Victory Day positively appreciated the activities of Comrade. Stalin during the war. About a third of the respondents found both positive and negative features in his methods of leading the army and the country. Miserable in appearance 8% did not approve the managerial practices of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief.
This sociology can be perceived differently.
With distrust, since the survey was conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation long -bored with the Kremlin. And if the authorities appropriated the victory and Generalissimo Shoigu already stormed the Reichstag near Moscow, and successfully, then why not to exalue Stalin? In 2005, 40% of compatriots considered him an impeccable commander according to FOM, and now, then, it was time for every second to speak out in this spirit. The order has been worked out, and what is there to comment.
However, with this generally optimistic point of view (people do not know that sociologists are doing with them) facts are not fully consistent. In particular, the results of surveys conducted by a completely different analytical center - tested by the foreign agent Levada. There, back in February, it was noted that "the love of Russians reached Maximum for Stalin," and impressive numbers were given. In total, he aroused good feelings in 46% of respondents, which is comparable to the data of the FOM. True, among them, only 4% expressed admiration for the great leader, 32% respected him, and every tenth treated with sympathy, so that some of the respondents could dialectically answer the question of Stalin-Wesenacher. Like, a handsome strategist was a handsome, respect for him and respect, but almost lost the war. In short, there are discrepancies among sociologists who should believe, with those who should not trust recklessly.
Therefore, the results of the survey published the day before yesterday should, in my opinion, be perceived dual. With longing and hope. There are reasons for both sadness and joy. Half, or how many Russians, non -critically evaluating Stalin’s activities in 1941-1945, is of course a regrettable figure. Even if they are smaller, anyway, the dumbfound takes at the thought that tens of millions of citizens do not know or do not want to know the truth about the war. As well as about pre -war times, when the head of the Soviet state was engaged in conscious extermination of his own army. The fact that the enemy who defeated our troops reached Moscow. And that it was he, this Joseph Vissarionovich, who made a huge personal contribution to the creation of the Vlasov movement - the largest collaborators in the history of the army. By means of terrorist domestic policy in the 30s and the declaration by traitors of all prisoners.
For half or how many Russians there were no and there were no two thaws and front -line prose with its honest and fierce description of hell, in which the country was immersed not without the help of mediocre leadership, led by the best friend of the military. There were no and there were no military memoirs. There were no and were not based on the documents of historical research on the Second World War. Even Stalin himself, who, in his mocking toast addressed to the winners, recognized some of his mistakes, they were not a decree. He did everything right.
Exactive optimism inspire other thoughts. The phenomenon called victory and naturally coincided in terms of the deadlines with the annexation of Crimea, the new Cold War and the total "Goebbels" on the GOSTELEKANALS, could not but result in the revival of Stalinism in its most convincing and bizarre forms. With Joseph Dzhugashvili on icons, bikers storming European cities, ships for reposts, babies in the uniforms of the enkavedeshniks and the strict regulations of the wearing of the St. George tape. This is, in fact, the case when the pendulum freezes on the clock, the arrows are eager to run back: the lonely walks the monument repeated thousands of time - and today, imagine, all half, if not less. Voting for Stalin wise, dear and beloved.
The people still hold on, and there are still a lot of citizens who answer the question of sociologists as if they are not watching TV or, scary to imagine, did not forgot how to think with their own heads. Strange, but there are much fewer fools already familiar 88%. Every third reveals spots on the snow -white tunic of Joseph Vissarionovich, leaning to the idea that there were negative sides in his manner of war. 8% of Russians do not want to say anything good about Stalin-college at all. Every tenth fearlessly evades the answer.
And these are also millions and millions of our compatriots. And something, either intuition, or historical experience, suggests that they will change the country. Carrying out its decolinization and deputinization. For the reason that the rational minority barely weakens and falls off the shackles, scrapers and other shackles of heavy ones, usually engaged in such matters, and this has happened more than once in Russia. After Tsar Nicholas I, within the framework of the necessary state reforms. After King Nicholas II, although not long, unfortunately. After King Joseph. After communism. Stalinism-Light will also be no exception, and in the mirror of sociology, the rebellious Russians will again be reflected, who again deceived the damned leaders and their henchmen.
And about the war, as it turns out, they lied, and about America, and about Europe, and about Ukraine, and Putin himself also lied! Overcoming the next personality cult and struggling with its consequences, citizens will severely condemn the liar and will not forgive the deception. "Stalin is not on them," Russians will say.
