Quotes Every time they say that what's happening in the country is... Stalin's fault. It's the moral of every speech: Stalin's guilty, it was Stalin, Stalin, Stalin, everyone against him. But Stalin died 35 years ago! 35 years! What does that have to do with today's troubles? Interview (5 October 1990) as quoted in La Repubblica First, Stalin is disowned, now, little by little, it gets to prosecute socialism, the October Revolution, and in no time they will also want to prosecute Lenin and Marx. Interview (5 October 1990) as quoted in La Repubblica Iosif Vissarionovich was a really cautious man. Really cautious. A man who could see far. Interview (5 October 1990) as quoted in La Repubblica Without Stalin's politics, we would never have achieved anything, we would all have died. Interview (5 October 1990) as quoted in La Repubblica Quotes about Kaganovich One former member of [the antiparty] group [Molotov] became an ambassador. True, the country [Outer Mongolia] may not be large, but it is an ambassadorship. I do not want to mention names, but you have some former Secretaries of State. I do not know where they are today, but they are not ambassadors. A second member of the group [Kaganovich] is now head of the state asbestos trust. Is that punishment, to head up a big monopoly? … It is better to confess to one's errors than to persist in them.
