Josef Stalin - Er ist wieder da
Der sowjetische Diktator Josef #Stalin war ein #Tyrann und #Massenmörder, verantwortlich für Deportationen, Erschießungen und Hungersnöte. Doch heute wird er in #Russland wieder verehrt, nicht nur mit neuen Denkmälern. Was steckt hinter dem Stalin-Kult?

Today in Labor History August 12, 1936: The First International Brigades arrived in Spain to fight against Franco. Organized by the Communist International, between 40,000 and 60,000 men and women from around the world fought on the Republican side against the fascists. 10,000 of them died. Thousands more international activists joined anti-Stalinist forces, like the socialist POUM, or anarchist groups, like the FAI, CNT and the Durruti Column. Americans defied federal law to participate in the International Brigade, as members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Famous Lincoln participants included Avant Garde composer Conlon Nancarrow, labor organizer Delmer Berg, scifi author Theodore Cogswell, novelist William Herrick. The Tom Mooney Company, named for San Francisco labor organizer, Tom Mooney, who was wrongly imprisoned for the WWI Preparedness Day bombing, was commanded by African American labor organizer Oliver Law, the first African-American to command an integrated American military unit. Many African-Americans joined the anti-franco forces. Langston Hughes, who was writing for the Baltimore Afro-American, said: "Give Franco a hood, and he would be a member of the Ku Klux Klan." There was also a George Washington Battlian, and a John Brown battery. Once the U.S. entered World War II, the FBI recommended that none of the veterans of the Spanish war against fascism be given any promotions within the U.S. military, to prevent the “rise of communists” in their ranks. The House UnAmerican Activities Committee (HUAC) blacklisted all American veterans of the Spanish war.

Gabrielius Landsbergis:
"The current geopolitical moment is often compared to #Chamberlain’s betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938. But there is another point in history that could be used as an example...
In 1944, #Stalin, sensing victory approaching, demanded that part of #Poland be recognised by the Allies as part of the #SovietUnion. Instead of rejecting the demands, the Allies ultimately put pressure on the Poles to accept Stalin’s redrawn borders. Sounds familiar"

50 years ago Dmitri #Shostakovich died
His life was marred by a delicate dance with #Soviet authorities, it shackled him
#Stalin took a particular dislike of Dmitri
For "formalism" (not enough Soviet aesthetic)
It seems absurd
But it was a serious threat to his life
We're entering a new era of ideological conformity to hateful political power
Do your thing
In 50 years, your efforts will live on like Shostakovich's music
While the ogres who hunt you are in the ground, despised
#Jahrestag von #Stalins #Säuberungen:
Braucht Wladimir Putin einen neuerlichen „Großen Terror“?
Die Logik von 1937 lebt im Schatten des #Kreml weiter. Von #Stalins „ #Säuberungen “ bis zu #Putins #Repressionen.
Am 5. August 1937 begannen in der #Sowjetunion die blutigsten #Säuberungen der #Stalin-Ära. Sie dauerten bis November 1938 an. In der #Publizistik wird diese #Kampagne als „ #GroßerTerror “ bezeichnet; im #Volksmund als „1937“.
"Some of us always knew this was where this would end up. A bloated, stumbling, smash-and-grab, cash-licking cadaver who spent an entire life born on third base—yet somehow finding a way to get thrown out at second—taking out his vast wilderness of dumbf*kery on us all"
