History of Russia, 20th Century - Main Event Through the Eyes of Our Contemporaries

How often, recently, our so-called "historians", "academicians" of fictional academies, "specialists" in various fields (most often, far from the present story) write books, make films and programs, start disputes, where, with an amazing obtrusiveness , With foam at the mouth, tell us about how badly and wrongly our ancestors lived. It seems that the history of Russia in the 20th century for these "Clio ministers" is nothing more than a regular PR campaign aimed only at getting money for their fantasies.

However, it was the 20th century that was, perhaps, the most full for Russia period. The revolution of 1905, then the October Revolution, which prompted a radical turn of the whole historical process. The monarch was replaced by the Soviets, the power passed into the hands of the common people. Today there is a big debate about who would benefit from this revolution, whether it was necessary, and what it brought more - good or bad.

Ambiguous attitude of contemporaries to the personality of the last Russian tsar. Historians divided into two opposing camps. On the one hand, our contemporaries hold him responsible for the collapse of the monarchy and Russia. Nicholas II is accused of all the sins: inability to own the situation in the state, in his inability to understand the trends and needs of the times, to implement in the country those transformations that could prevent the escalation of tension. That is, according to these popular ideas, we can conclude that at a difficult, critical moment in the history of our country on the throne was an incompetent emperor, a man subject to reactionary influences, weak-willed, reflective.

Another part of historians, on the contrary, admires the last monarch, extolling his qualities in excellent forms. Russian historians Bohanov A. and Gorinov M. deal in great detail with all of these issues with his book. They give the most diverse opinions of researchers of all stripes.

And undoubtedly, the personality of Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (Stalin) is the most controversial personality in the period of socialism, which causes the greatest number of disputes and the most formidable cries from the newly emerged "academicians". And indeed, the whole history of Russia, the 20th century, is built with the active participation of this person. It was he who "took the country with the plow, left it with a nuclear bomb", it was he who lasted the longest rules in this historical period, it was under him and under his leadership that the Great Patriotic War was won.

What just did not blame this ruler: tens of millions of those shot, genocide, the death of people due to industrialization and collectivization, the unleashing of war. One of these myths, fiercely supported by Stalin's opponents, is the story that it was he who brought Adolf Hitler to power in Germany. Let us try to understand this question a little, for here it is not only the history of Russia, the twentieth century that is involved, but also the course of the whole world history in general.

Let's start with a small question: "Do you know exactly what will happen in 10 years?" Or you can formulate the question a little differently: "Who can exactly predict how a person will behave in 5 years?". I have absolute certainty that no members of the Battle of Psychics, analysts of the best world institutions can give you an accurate answer. And only one person, for the whole history of mankind, according to the statements of "historians", could do it - Joseph Stalin. They, great and mighty, were predicted the history of Russia, the 20th century.

It was he, knowing for sure that Adolf Hitler would unleash the world war in 39-40 years of the XX century, arrange the genocide of the Slavs and Jews, lead the armies to the Soviet Union, let (or did not prevent) in 1933 come to power in Germany. Do you believe in such magic? Perhaps, at this point, and could be stopped in the debunking of the myth of the mystical perspicacity of the Leader of the Peoples. But you can add a few facts, though the history of Russia, the 20th century, will remain a little apart, and only a small page from the history of Germany of the 20th century will be revealed.

The main thesis in defense of their truth is that modern "historians" postulate that if Stalin allowed the Communist Party of Germany to vote together with the Social Democratic Party of Germany, they would gain more than 50% of the vote, and Hitler would not come to power.

At the same time, our "academicians" are not interested in the opinion of the Germans themselves, and yet in the elections of 1932 the city of the SPD did not even attempt to nominate its candidate! Why? Why this party also did not enter into an alliance with the KKE, which according to various sources had from 13 to 15% of the vote? On the contrary, she even supported a single person who could make real competition to Hitler-Hindenburg, allowing him to gain 53% of the vote. It was President Hindenburg, even before the March parliamentary elections in January 1933, that allowed Hitler to form a government and become head of the German national front. Thanks to this, in the elections of 1933, the NSDAP (led by Hitler) gained 44% of the vote, the KKE - 12.3%, the SPD - 18.3%. Anyone who is familiar with arithmetic and unfamiliar with the stories of our "historians" will say that 31 is less than 44.

You can not turn back the time. You can not change the past. But also the history of Russia, the 20th century, should not be overlooked by some figures today only in order to make a name for it on it.
