Quote

I believe that the position of the friends of peace is strengthening. The friends of peace are able to work in the open. They base themselves upon the force of public opinion. They have at their disposal such instruments as, for instance, the League of Nations. This is to the advantage of the friends of peace.

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.

Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!
Joseph Stalin
Image
As soon as there are no more classes, as soon as boundaries between classes are effaced, as soon as only a few but non-fundamental differences between various strata of the socialist society remain - there can no longer be nourishing ground for the formation of parties struggling among themselves.
Joseph Stalin
Image
In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Joseph Stalin
Image
The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.

Image
Die, but do not retreat.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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.
Joseph Stalin

Each country, if it so desires, will make its own revolution. And if no such desire exists, no revolution will occur.

I trust no one, not even myself.
