In defense of Stalin. Letter to the Central Committee. Molotov V.M.

Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov wrote and sent to the CPSU Central Committee a manuscript with a volume of 357 sheets, which is stored in an archive called “A note on the problem of the personality cult of I.V. Stalin and about the CPSU program. " The document is divided into five sections: introduction, the theme of the cult of I.V. Stalin, questions of the intra -party struggle, criticism of the CPSU program adopted at the XXII Congress of the party and criticism of the economic activity of Khrushchev.

The author was the closest ally I.V. Stalin, his "right hand." Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR in 1930-1941, People's Commissar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR in 1939-1949. He tells what Stalin’s policy was, with concrete examples he shows what methods it was carried out - and, in general, what is Stalinism as a system of management of the Soviet Union. It is not surprising that this manuscript of Molotov was classified by the order of Khrushchev - a fighter with the "cult of the personality of Stalin".
