He Was A Prophet

Former Ambassador to Sweden in 1938-39 met J.V. Stalin and in a very long discussion dealt with the upcoming war conflict with Finland, which was egged on by Germany, and the coming war with Nazi Germany, Ambassador Kolontaeva (an important women figure in the USSR Foreign Office) met J.V. Stalin and wrote down the discussion. Here we are just reprinting J.V. Stalin's prophetic words about the future. Remember, these words were spoken already in 1939! Stalin foresaw what will happen to the Soviet Union and the vilification of him as a leader.

"Many accomplishments of our party and people will be turned upside down and smeared viciously, first of all beyond our borders, and also in our country. Zionism, desperately vying to rule the financial capital of all the world, together with all other enemies, will do all in their power to hamper our progress. They all look now at the USSR as a very backward country, but also as a valuable raw resource potential. I know that my name shall also be besmirched. They shall attach to my name all sorts of unimaginable crimes!

World reaction of all colours shall try with all their might to break up the Soviet Union, so that Russia itself should never again be able to bring itself up by its bootstraps. The might of the USSR is in the unity of its peoples. Tremendous pressures are going to be exerted in order to break up this unity of peoples... to break up all of the USSR into small insignificant pieces, to tear away all border republics from Russia.

Here we must admit that we still did not manage to do everything that is needed for saving the USSR.

With potential tremendous force the rising up of nationalist malady now is raising its ugly head. This cancerous nationalism will be successful for a while in pressuring down Internationalism and also patriotism. There shall appear many nationalistic groups, all of them supported by outside and internal reactionary forces and many such conflicts shall arise. There will appear many leaders -pygmies, all traitors inside their own nations.

Overall this shall be a very difficult time for the Soviet people and also the international working class. Conflicts shall arise between the East and the West.

In spite of all these forthcoming events and their temporary successes, the coming future generations shall look to our past and the successes that were achieved by our Socialist Motherland.

Year after year a new generation of people shall he coming up. They again shall pick up the red revolutionary banner of all their parents and grandparents. Their future they shall be building on our successes and our past."

This article is dedicated to the 120th Anniversary of the birth of J.V. Stalin
