on february 14, 1956

, the twentieth congress of the communist party of the soviet union opened in moscow. it was attended by 1,349 delegates, including guests from 55 countries. the main event of this congress took place on the last day of its work, on the morning of february 25. at a closed meeting, the first secretary of the central committee nikita khrushchev spoke report: on the cult of stalin's personality and its consequences, in it he gave a detailed criticism of stalin's entire rule, and especially his activities during the great patriotic war. in his speech he said: the terrible danger that hung over our homeland was the result of stalin's vicious methods of leading the country. stalin was very far from understanding the real situation that was developing.

crown the cult of stalin's personality. after the speech, no debates or discussions of the report were held, and its text was not published in the official documents of the congress. he held this meeting, which, as eyewitnesses wrote, was held in complete silence, so that you could even hear flies flying, shook the entire hall, of course, but it did not become closed, because the members of the central committee received instructions to hold the same closed meetings at the local level. secretaries of regional committees, city committees, and the country learned about it, and of course, the country was divided

into two camps, that is , some were behind stalin, did not believe that all this had happened, others, on the contrary, desperately argued that stalinism was the period of precisely those terrible horrors that were, brushing aside all the positive things that the country did during those years. after 1956 , two opposing assessments of stalin were formed in our country. some consider him a wise politician, others - a bloody dictator. many common ideas about stalin's personality have no serious basis. when you get acquainted with real documents, when you read the memoirs of people who communicated with stalin, a completely different image of stalin emerges. june 22, 1941. hitler's germany attacked the soviet union without declaring war. around 3:00 a.m., the first

groups of german sappers crossed into soviet territory. at 3:30 a.m., enemy aircraft raided major cities in belarus, ukraine, and the baltics. at 4:00 a.m. , 3 million german soldiers attacked our country along the entire western border. soviet troops lost contact, and many were killed and wounded. at that moment, moscow was quiet and calm. after celebrating the last bell, graduates leisurely strolled along the embankments and boulevards, greeting the dawn. that night stalin was in the kremlin. at 11:00 p.m. he finished work and went to rest. at 4:05 a.m. the telephone rang in the reception room. an agitated zhukov was on the line. he reported that the germans were bombing belarus. he had no precise information. an hour later, members

of the government and the chief of the general staff gathered in the kremlin. they soon learned of the monstrous consequences. the soviet government and its head, comrade stalin, have instructed me to make the following statement. this unheard-of attack on our country is unprecedented in history. civilized nations by treachery. our

cause is just, the enemy will be defeated. victory. belongs not to molotov, but to stalin. germany's surprise attack put the red army on the brink of disaster. by the end of june, 250,000 soviet soldiers had been captured by the germans. communication between the western military districts had been completely lost. panic began in belarus. thousands of soldiers

fled their units without any command. in the baltics, the city of kaunas was surrendered without a fight. latvian. rumors suddenly began to circulate that some forest had been surrounded near yelnya, and as a result, they themselves they were shooting, this panic evacuation began. in the first days of the war, stalin almost never left the kremlin, occasionally going to the people's commissariat of defense. every day he held several meetings lasting from 3 to 8 hours.

they say that stalin was confused, stalin. stayed at the dacha, it was a day off, but on this day he went to the people's commissariat of defense twice, where he gave zhukov a dressing down, brought him to

tears, what kind of headquarters is this that does not have accurate information and... here he says a phrase that was interpreted in different ways, that well, everything is lost when he leaves. the next morning, molotov, mikayan and voroshilov came to stalin's nearby dacha. they needed to urgently return him to moscow. and on june 30 , government leaders came to stalin and proposed. and, as was written in mikayan's memoirs, stalin looked at us as if we had come to arrest him. and

when the politburo members arrived, they said the opposite, miosinovich, you must pull yourself together and return to governing the country. on july 3, 1941, stalin addressed the people on the radio. stories. citizens, brothers and sisters, i am addressing you, my friends, a significant part of latvia, the western part of the nazi troops managed to capture lithuania, belarus, part of western ukraine, all the forces of the people to disperse the enemy, the period for our victory, he said, how could it happen. that our glorious red army surrendered a number of cities and regions to the enemy, are the german fascist troops really invincible

troops, and then he changed his tone, of course not, of course not, and tried to inspire confidence, called for a total war. stalin showed with this address that the country had a firm... leadership that would not surrender, that would fight to the end and do everything so that the country, the people would fight to the end. in the summer of 1941, stalin concentrated all power in the country in his hands. stalin was elected chairman of the state defense committee, he was chairman of the council of ministers, he was the people's commissar of defense. almost all spheres of state activity were united. in one hands, in the hands of stalin, this, of course, is enormous responsibility, but also a huge, extremely labor-intensive job, which he

mastered very well and with dignity. first of all, stalin punished those who, in his opinion, were guilty of the retreat of the red army. on july 22, 1941 , the commander of the western front pavlov, the chief of communications of the western front grigoriev, the commander of the fourth army korobkov, and the chief of staff of the front klimovskikh were shot. a reshuffle of leaders began. each military leader was personally responsible to stalin for the situation at the front. from the memoirs of vasilevsky. in at first, stalin was unjustifiably self-confident, overestimating his strength and knowledge in leading the war. he assumed that if military actions were not developing as they should, then it was necessary to urgently replace the leader. on august 21, 1941 , hitler signed a directive stating that the main goal of the summer campaign should not be the capture

of moscow, but the occupation of crimea and donbass. the germans sought to encircle and finally defeat the southwestern group of soviet troops. hitler ordered the transfer of the second tank gudarian's group, the western direction to the south to kiev. to stop gudarian, stalin ordered his. whom we must rely on, nothing worked out with yaremenko, stalin, all the time,

bet on the wrong people, in early september the germans approached kiev, zhukov asked stalin to allow the withdrawal of troops from the city, only in this way, in his opinion, could the army be saved, but stalin believed that kiev should not be surrendered under any circumstances, zhukov was removed from his post as chief of the general staff. in early september the germans began operation to encircle soviet troops near kiev. on september 15, the ring around the city was closed. 450,000 people were captured. the kiev cauldron became the largest in world military history. the city was occupied, and the main german forces continued their advance on moscow. mozhaisk was built on the approaches to the capital.

on october 15, when the germans were just over 100 km from moscow, stalin began preparing for evacuation. on october 15, 1941 , the mozhaisk line of defense was broken through, panic began in the city, and on the fifteenth... the committee defense issued an order to evacuate the capital of the ussr, moscow. the first point there said that foreign missions should be withdrawn on the same day, the 15th. on the same day , the central committee and the government should be withdrawn, and beria was given the task in the fourth point, to destroy everything that they couldn’t withdraw, blow it up, destroy the metro, everything that

was possible.

there was practically no one with their things. lebedev kumach, a famous poet who wrote the poems “the great stash,” brought two cars, time for things, there, they wouldn’t let him in, he hung around for two days, couldn’t leave, in general, his mind was clouded, even. according to the third point of the evacuation decree, stalin had to leave the city on october 16 or later. a special armored train had already been prepared for him. there is evidence that stalin abandoned this plan at the last minute, when he himself witnessed the panic in moscow, and he went to spend the night at his dacha, and from the dacha he drives and sees how the crowd is looting stores, what is going on, he stopped, came up, they continue to keep these sausages there, that's it, he saw it all, talked to them, moscow cannot be surrendered, he says, as long as i live, i will not leave moscow,

the government transport train from stalin to kulbishev is already ready, no, no, i'm still staying, i'll be here until the last, and he's not sure that all this will work out. returning to the kremlin, stalin demanded that order be restored in the city immediately. on october 20 , the defense committee declared a state of siege, imposed a curfew, and decided to shoot all provocateurs, deserters, and looters on the spot. stalin instructed zhukov to urgently develop a new defense plan for moscow. it was at this moment that the saving news arrived from japan. soviet an intelligence officer in tokyo, richard sorge, telegraphed that the japanese had no plans to attack the soviets.
