Quote

We secured peace for our country for one and a half years, as well as an opportunity of preparing our forces for defense if fascist Germany risked attacking our country in defiance of the pact. This was a definite gain to our country and a loss for fascist Germany.

The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.

In war I would deal with the Devil and his grandmother
Joseph Stalin

This war is not as in the past whoever occupies a territory also imposes on it his own social system. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. It cannot be otherwise. If now there is not a communist government in Paris, this is only because Russia has no an army which can reach Paris in 1945.
Joseph Stalin

The reason why there is now no communist government in Paris is because in the circumstances of 1945 the Soviet army was not able to reach French soil.

Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

To assert that we desire to bring about revolution in other countries, by interfering with their lives, is to speak of something which does not exist and which we never preach.
Joseph Stalin

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.

The Soviet system will not evolve into American democracy or vice-versa.

For instance, our country wanted to effect a revolution, and did effect it, and now we are building a new classless society.
Joseph Stalin
Image
Having consolidated its power, and taking the lead of the peasantry, the proletariat of the victorious country can and must build a socialist society.
Joseph Stalin
Image
There is not, nor should there be, an irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of an individual person and the interests of the collective.
Joseph Stalin
Image
There is no nation in the whole world desiring war.
Joseph Stalin
Image
It is difficult to say which is more menacing. But both of [points of war danger -Japan and Germany] exist and both are smoldering. In comparison with these two principal focal points of the war danger, the Italo-Ethiopian war represents an episode.
Joseph Stalin

A certain inequality in regard to property still exists in a socialist society. But in a socialist society there is no unemployment, no exploitation, no oppression of nationalities.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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
Image
Why will our elections be equal? Because neither differences in regard to property (differences partly existing) nor differences of race and nationality will cause any privileges or disadvantages. Women will enjoy the right to elect and be elected equally with men. Our elections will be really equal.

It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.

It doesnt matter how many people vote, only who counts them.
