Khrushchev Speaks at 20th party Congress
Comrades! ... quite a lot has been said about the cult of the individual and about its harmful consequences. After Stalins death the Central Committee began to implement a policy of explaining concisely and consistently that it is impermissible and foreign to the spirit of Marxism-Leninism to elevate one person, to transform him into a superman possessing supernatural characteristics akin to those of a god. ..
Such a belief about a man, and specifically about Stalin was cultivated among us for many years.
The objective of the present report is not a thorough evaluation of Stalins life and activity. Concerning Stalins merits an entirely sufficient number of books, pamphlets and studies has already been written ... [Khrushchev then reports the positions of Marx, Engels and Lenin in relation to collective leadership, the role of the party and the working class, etc, and introduces the delegates to the documents relating to Lenins Testament, in which he warns against Stalin, concluding with a reading of a letter from Lenin to Stalin] ... I ask therefore that you weigh carefully whether you are agreeable to retracting your words and apologising or whether you prefer the severance of relations between us. Lenin, 5 March 1923.
Comrades! I will not comment on these documents. They speak for themselves. Since Stalin could behave in this way during Lenins lifetime ... we can easily imagine how Stalin treated other people. ...
When we analyse the practice of Stalin in regard to the direction of the party and of the country, when we pause to consider everything which Stalin perpetrated, we must be convinced that Lenins fears were justified. The negative characteristics of Stalin, which, in Lenins time were only incipient, transformed themselves during the last years into a grave abuse of power by Stalin, which caused untold harm to our party.
We have to consider seriously and analyse correctly this matter in order that we may preclude any possibility of a repetition ...
We must affirm that the party fought a serious fight against the Trotskyites, the Rightists, and bourgeois nationalists, and that it disarmed ideologically all the enemies of Leninism. This ideological fight was carried on successfully, as a result of which the party became strengthened and tempered. Here Stalin played a positive role. ...
This was a stubborn and a difficult fight but a necessary one, because the political line of both the Trotskyite-Zinovievite bloc and of the Bukharinites led actually toward the restoration of capitalism and capitulation to the world bourgeoisie. ...
But some years later, when socialism in our country was fundamentally constructed, when the exploiting classes were generally liquidated, when the Soviet social structure had radically changed, when the social basis for political movements and groups hostile to the party had violently contracted, when the ideological opponents of the party had long since been defeated politically - then the repression directed against them began. ...
We must assert that, in regard to those persons who in their time had opposed the party line, there were often no sufficiently serious reasons for their physical annihilation. The formula enemy of the people was specifically introduced for the purpose of physically annihilating such individuals. ...
Had Leninist principles been observed ... we certainly would not have had such a brutal violation of revolutionary legality and many thousands of people would not have fallen victim to the method of terror. ... [Khrushchev recalls the incident of Kamenev and Zinovievs betrayal of the Revolution in October 1917, and their subsequent reinstatement to the leadership] ...
As facts prove, Stalin, using his unlimited power, allowed himself many abuses, acting in the name of the Central Committee, not asking for the opinion of the Committee members nor even the members of the Politburo, or even inform them ...
During Lenins lifetime, party Congresses were convened regularly; ... It should be sufficient to mention that during all the years of the Great Patriotic War, not a single Central Committee plenum took place ...
A party commission was [recently] charged with investigating what made possible the mass repressions against the majority of the Central Committee members and candidates elected at the Seventeenth Congress ... many party activists who were branded in 1937-38 as enemies were actually never enemies. spies, wreckers, etc but were always honest communists ... and often, no longer able to bear barbaric tortures, they charged themselves with all kinds of grave and unlikely crimes.
...of the 139 members and candidates of the partys Central Committee who were elected at the Seventeenth Congress, 98 persons, i.e., 70 per cent, were arrested and shot!! [consternation in the hall] What was the composition of the delegates? 80 per cent joined the party during the years of illegality before the Revolution and during the Civil War before 1921. By social origin the basic mass of the delegates were workers (60 per cent of the voting members).
For this reason, it is inconceivable that a congress so composed would have elected a Central Committee a majority of whom would prove to be enemies of the people ...
The same fate met not only the Central Committee members but also the majority of the delegates to the Seventeenth Congress. Of 1,966 delegates, 1,108 persons were arrested ... This very fact shows how absurd, wild and contrary to common sense were the charges of counter-revolutionary crimes ... [indignation in the hall]
... repression increased after the congress... after the complete liquidation of the Trotskyites, Zinovievites and Bukharinites, when as a result of that fight the party achieved unity, Stalin ceased to an even greater degree to consider members of the Central Committee or Politburo.
After the criminal murder of S M Kirov, mass repressions and brutal acts of violation of socialist legality began. ... the circumstances surrounding Kirovs murder hide many things which are inexplicable and mysterious ...top functionaries of the NKVD were shot presumably to cover up ...
Mass repressions grew tremendously from the end of 1936 ... the mass repressions at this time were made under the slogan of a fight against the Trotskyites ... but ... Trotskyism was completely disarmed ... it was clear that there was no basis for mass terror in the country.
This terror was actually directed not at the remnants of the exploiting classes but against the honest workers. ...

OOC: Good luck trying to change the opinion of millions of people who loved stalin 
ooc: Khrushchev made that exact speech at the 20th Congress in REAL LIFE. It made him even more popular believe it or not, only die-hard stalinists didn't like him, and as you will see will try to get him out of office...and fail. Heres the second half.
--------------
Using Stalins formulation, namely, that the closer we are to Socialism the more enemies we will have ... the number of arrests based on charges of counter-revolutionary crimes grew 10 times between 1936 and 1937. ... Confessions of guilt were gained with the help of cruel and inhuman tortures ... when they retracted their confessions before the military tribunal [no one was told] ...
[Khrushchev cites at length the testimony of Eikhe, a member since 1905, tortured and shot in February 1940, and details the cases other well-known veterans denounced by Stalin, to consternation in the hall]
Not long ago we called to the Central Committee Presidium and interrogated the investigative judge Rodos ... he is a vile person with the brain of a bird and morally completely degenerate. And it was this man who was deciding the fate of prominent party workers ... he told us: I was told that [they] were peoples enemies and for this reason, I, as an investigative judge, had to make them confess that they are enemies. He could do this only through long tortures, which he did, receiving detailed instructions from Beria ... he cynically declared: I thought that I was executing the orders of the Party. ...
[Khrushchev moves on to talk of Stalin role in the War].
... Stalin put forward the thesis that the tragedy which our nation experienced in the first part of the war was the result of the unexpected attack of the Germans against the Soviet Union. But, comrades, this is completely untrue. As soon as Hitler came to power in Germany he assigned to himself the task of liquidating Communism. The fascists were saying this openly; they did not hide their plans. ...
Churchill personally warned Stalin [and] ... stressed this repeatedly in his despatches of 18 April and in the following days.
However, Stalin took no notice of these warnings. ..
information of this sort .. was coming from our own military and diplomatic sources ... [Stalin ordered that] no preparatory defensive work should be undertaken at the borders, that the Germans were not to be given any pretext ... when the fascist armies actually invaded Soviet territory and military operations had begun, Stalin issued the order that the German fire was not to be returned. Why? It was because Stalin, despite evident facts, thought that the war had not yet started, ...
Very grievous consequences, followed Stalins annihilation of many military commanders and political workers during 1937-41 because of his suspiciousness and through slanderous accusations ...; during this time the cadre of leaders who had gained military experience in Spain and the Far East was almost completely liquidated ... large scale repression against the military cadres led also to undermined military discipline,...
after the first severe disaster and defeats at the front, Stalin thought that this was the end. In one of his speeches he said: All that which Lenin created we have lost forever. After this Stalin for a long time did not direct the military operations and ceased to do anything whatever. ...
when he returned to active leadership ... the nervousness and hysteria which Stalin demonstrated, interfering with actual military operations, caused our Army serious damage. ... during the whole Patriotic War, he never visited any section of the front or any liberated city ...
[laughter begins to break out in the hall from time to time as Khrushchev ridicules Stalins exaggeration of his role, after the war, and he concludes ...] Not Stalin, but the Party as a whole, the Soviet government, our heroic army, its talented leaders and brave soldiers, the whole Soviet nation - these are the ones who assured the victory in the Great Patriotic War! [tempestuous and prolonged applause, which breaks out repeatedly as Khrushchev continues this theme].
All the more monstrous are the acts whose initiator was Stalin .. we refer to the mass deportations from their native places, of whole nations .. not dictated by any military considerations .. the Ukrainians avoided this fate only because there were too many of them and there was no place to deport them [laughter]
... The Party came out of the war even more united .. [Khrushchev then tells of the Leningrad affair in which eminent military leaders were denounced and shot]. Stalin became even more capricious, irritable and brutal; in particular his suspicion grew. His persecution mania reached unbelievable dimensions ... this unbelievable suspicion was cleverly taken advantage of by the abject provocateur and vile enemy, Beria [explaining how Beria denounced Voroshilov and others. He then tells of the fictitious Georgian plot].
The Yugoslavian affair contained no problems which could not have been solved through party discussions among comrades ... it was completely possible to have prevented the rupture of relations with that country ... mistakes and shortcomings were magnified in a monstrous manner by Stalin, which resulted in a break of relations with a friendly country [Stalin thought he could destroy Tito, but] Tito had behind him a state and a people who had gone through a sever school of fighting for liberty and independence, a people which gave support to its leaders. ...
We have found a proper solution ... liquidation of the abnormal relationship with Yugoslavia was done in the interest of the whole camp of Socialism, in the interest of strengthening peace in the whole world.
[Khrushchev then deals with the affair of the doctor-plotters] Present at this Congress as a delegate is the former Minister of State Security, Comrade Ignatiev. Stalin told him curtly, If you do not obtain confessions from the doctors we will shorten you by a head. [tumult in the hall] ... the methods were simple - beat, beat and, once again, beat.
When we examined this case after Stalins death, we found it to be fabricated from beginning to end.
[Khrushchev then delivers a prolonged attack on the role of Beria]. Beria was unmasked by the Partys Central Committee shortly after Stalins death. As a result of particularly detailed legal proceedings, it was established that Beria had committed monstrous crimes and Beria was shot.
[Khrushchev then explains how Stalin personally edited the biographies and histories lauding his role to ensure that his own role was presented in terms of the most extreme glorification, receiving applause as he suggests that Stalins name be removed from the national anthem, which should praise instead the role of the party, and loud, prolonged applause follows. As Khrushchev turns to the theme of how Stalin elevated himself above Lenin, even in the period of the Revolution, and denounced Stalin for this, he is greeted by repeated bursts of applause].
Comrades! The cult of the individual has caused the employment of faulty principles in party work and in economic activity; ... our nation gave birth to many flatterers and specialists in false optimism and deceit ... many workers began to work uncertainly, showed over-cautiousness, feared all that was new, feared their own shadows and began to show less initiative in their work ... a routine manner ... bureaucratising the whole apparatus. ...
All those who interested themselves even a little in the national situation saw the difficulties in agriculture, but Stalin never even noted it. Did we tell Stalin about this? Yes, we told him, but he did not support us. Why? ...He knew the country and agriculture only from films ... which so pictured kolkhoz life that the tables were bending from the weight of turkeys and geese ... The last time he visited a village was in January 1928 ... facts and figures did not interest him ... the fantastic ideas of a person divorced from reality.
We are currently beginning slowly to work our way out of a difficult agricultural situation ... We are certain that the commitments of the new Five-Year Plan will be accomplished successfully.
[prolonged applause]
Comrades! If we sharply criticise today the cult of the individual which was so widespread during Stalins life, and if we speak about so many negative phenomena generated by this cult which is so alien to the spirit of Marxism-Leninism, various persons may ask: How could it be? Stalin headed the party and the country for 30 years and many victories were gained during his lifetime. Can we deny that? ...
The Socialist Revolution was attained by the working class and by the poor peasantry with the partial support of middle-class peasants. It was attained by the people under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party. Lenins great service consisted in the fact that he created a militant party of the working class, but he was armed with Marxist understanding of the laws of social development and with the science of proletarian victory in the fight with capitalism, and he steeled this party in the crucible of revolutionary struggle of the masses of the people. ...

It was also a closed secret session and furthermore there are those who question if it ever happened or if Kruschev just manufactured it afterwards to make himself seem heroic.

I cannot stay in this NES. I want to, but I can't. I don't have the time nor the energy for it. 
I wish I did, since I love the rules and the idea.

The People of Venezuela had just entered a new era along with assistance from their great allies they had grown past poverty and were on their way up. Health had increased along as had industry the people were celerbrating the modernisation of their land and looked forward with a new sence of aspiration. Maybe they could change, maybe they could move out of this poverty and rise to become a developed nation involved with the worlds affairs maybe, just maybe.
But until then the people would work together comforted by the fact that in the end they were all equal and those who worked for the motherland got bonuses. These incentives made the populace strive to be better and as such they grew rapidly. A great friendship had been forged with their allies who helped them in their time of need and as trade increased between these nations so did tourism.
People who had worked hard enough to earn the money to travel crossed the world visiting the countries of their allies and some other nations. People were happy and that was what mattered they could see that their work was paying off and that no-one could dictate their future now.

It was like the world had fallen on his shoulders.
The shooter hadn't been found yet, blood still stained his lap. The human head has a lot of blood in it, and Williams had just watched one explode next to him.
The president was dead.

"My fellow Americans it is with a heavy heart and a timid spirit that I take the reins of this nation. It is a time of struggle, when nothing can be taken for granted, where there is little safety. But there is a light at the end of this tunnel, my friends and with the help of our allies we will reach the end of this tunnel soon. There will come a day when America is free of the sort of fear that now grips at each of our throats. This I promise.
"There are men who have done this, and animosity towards them is understandable, but I feel that only the gentle force of law should be applied against them. Who are we if we retreat from the democratic ideals of equal protection of law? We have been struck mightily, but there is nothing to be done about that, we must simply stand as tall as we face the world anew, with malice towards none and with our whole efforts devoted to peace and democracy. We cannot betray our ideals in order to achieve them, for if we betray them, then are they truely our own?"
The speech was short, but the stony faced crowd below him seemed satisfied to hear it.
President Williams turned and walked back into the White House.

Its sadness us that such a good President was shot to death by a madman. I myself, president Muhatma Ghandi, shall attend the ceremony of his burial when it comes. On another note we wish the new president luck on holding the U.S. power as a superpower and hope they will continue your last president job by aiding the weaker free countries...
And again we request from the U.S.A. to send several more divisions to Northern India as it seems they are preapering an all out invasion...
