Lazar Kaganovich on Joseph Stalin
← Back to Joseph Stalin Profile
“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?”
“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.”
“Iosif Vissarionovich was a really cautious man. Really cautious. A man who could see far.”
“Without Stalin's politics, we would never have achieved anything, we would all have died.”
