During the short period follow
ing the criminal murder Of Sergei
Kirov by the provocateurs of the
Trotzkyist- Zinoviev anti S vi t
group" writes Pravda, "one of the
most prominent leaders of the Party
and of the workers and peasants
government a true conlrsde in arms
Of Stain, the closest assistant OF
Molotov, has left the powerful Boil
shevik general staff.
This time the blow was dealt to
the Party, the working class and
y the collective farming peasantry,
and to all tolers of the Soviet
Union, by the blind merciless forces
Of nature, over which we still have
no power
Steeled in Struggle
The proletarian revolutionary
and Bolshevik, Kuibyshev, grew and
became hardened from his very
early youthful years. In the I'M
derground Bolshevist circles in 81
IBERIA, in the Volga towns, in pro-
letarisn Petersburg, in the zarist
prisons, in the steadfast struggle
with the Mensheviks, in the years
of the revolutionary upsurge, the
years of reaction, Kuibyshev re-
manned q true bulwark behind the
feminist banner, irreconcilable to-
ward the enemies of the Party and
the working class.
"Kuibyshev belonged to that re-
markable generation of BOlSheviks
which raised the Russian working
class to a revolutionary struggle
with Tzarism, landlords and cap
itaIists, to that generation which
was educated by Lenin and Stain
even prior to the October Social
ist revolution. In the fire and
storm of the civil war, in the
years of economic construction, in
the struggle for the Five Year
Plan, in the struggle with numer
OHs anti-LeniniSt factions and
groups, the Party tested its sons
and chose the best of the best for
the feminist Central Committee,
the powerful general staff of the
great Stain.
TO the most responsible posts
the most dangerous fronts the Party
sent Valerian Kuibyshev, its be-
loved and true son. Kuibyshev was
one of the most important leaders
of the armed struggle with the
Czechoslovakian legions and the
White Guards of the Eastern Front
he was an untiring fighter for the
feminist Stalinist national policy in
the complicated peculiar situation
in Middle Asia, he was leader and
organizer of the Soviet trade unions
And in the years of the stubborn
struggle with the opposition he held
the post of Chairman of the Cen
trail Control Commission, guarding
the unity Of the Party.
Leader in Soviet Industry
In the years of economic con-
struction Kuibyshev was a leader
in Soviet industry, organizing,
choosing and Welding cadres of Boil
sheviks as economic managers. He
stood over the cradle of the two
Five Year Plans. Kuibyshev was
known throughout the country as
the biggest organizer and leader Of
the Soviet state and of economic
construction, as the splendid or
ganizer and leader of the greatest
heroic epic rescue Of the Cheliusk-
ir1eefs.
Such is the road Of the life
Of = simple sublime proIetarian
and revolutionist, the road of a
crystally honest and modest Boil
shevik, an exemplary steadfast
feminist who served the great
cause Of Lenin and Stain with
out hesitating or wavering.
Scores of years will pass and in
It's heroic struggle the proletariat
will record ever new and great VIC
tories. The peoples of the classics
socialist society will study with ad-
n1iration the deeds and individuals
Of our epoch, the epoch of heroic
battles, the epoch which gave birth
to millions of great fighters for
Communism and raised to unap-
proachable historical heights the
powerful group of comrades in arms
Of the great leader of the toilers-
Stain, whereto Kuibyshev belonged
by right
Unified Nation
Behind the orderly columns OF
figures Of the first and second Five
Year Plans Kuibyshev felt the ard
ent passion and splendor of our
epoch. Over Kuibyshev's grave the
country dips it banners.
But the power of the Bolshevik
Party, the power of the heroic work
ing class and the collective farm
ing peasantry is invincible. Let not
our enemies lull themselves into be-
lieving that this great loss will for
even q minute break our resolution
to carry on the struggle for the
final victory Of Communism. At
Kuibyshev's grave stand the dele
gates of the Seventh AlI-Union
Congress of Soviets, at Kuibyshevs
grave stands the nation, unified in
it's leaders, powerful and united.
confident of further victories and
Of the final triumph of the world
proletarian revolution. It's strength
is inexhaustible, it's revolutionary
will to victory is unbent, its power
i1vincible"
