More quotes by Joseph Stalin
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how but what is extraordinarily important is this - who will count the votes, and how.
Joseph Stalin
There are capitalist states which consider themselves cheated, during previous redivisions of spheres of influence, territories, sources of raw materials, markets, etc., and which would again desire to redivide them to their own advantage.
Joseph Stalin
Do you remember the tsar? Well, I‘m like a tsar.
Joseph Stalin
Yes, the electoral struggle [in U.S.S.R.] will be animated. It will proceed around numerous very sharp questions, namely, practical questions having first-rate significance for the people.
Joseph Stalin
The leaders come and go, but the people remain. Only the people are immortal.
Joseph Stalin
Have not fascism in Italy and National Socialism in Germany claimed that they have attained similar results [as in U.S.S.R.]? Have not both been achieved at the price of privation and personal liberty sacrificed for the good of the state?
Joseph Stalin
To slacken the tempo...would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind get beaten.
Joseph Stalin
In war I would deal with the Devil and his grandmother
Joseph Stalin
I fail to see what dangers surrounding states can see in the ideas of the Soviet people if these states are really firmly seated in their saddles.
Joseph Stalin
The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.
Joseph Stalin
We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us.
Joseph Stalin
Admittedly communism has not been achieved in Russia. State socialism has been built.
Joseph Stalin
Is it possible, then, to doubt that we can and must gain victory over the German invaders? The enemy is not as strong as some terror-stricken pseudo-intellectuals picture him. The devil is not as terrible as he is painted.
Joseph Stalin
Die, but do not retreat.
Joseph Stalin
A man's eyes should be torn out if he can only see the past
Joseph Stalin
This war is not an ordinary war. It is the war of the entire Russian people. Not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our heads, but to aid all people groaning under the yoke of Fascism
Joseph Stalin
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being.
Joseph Stalin
Under national socialism, there is also only one party. But nothing will come out of this fascist one-party system.
Joseph Stalin
Many understand state socialism in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.
Joseph Stalin
