something more in common with
international fsscism and the bour-
geoisie: an absolutely pathological
personal hatred Of Comrsde Stain
And they know why. It was he
Comrade Stain. whose firm hand
destroyed all the hopes and plans
which world reaction still set or
Trotzky and Zinoviev so long as
they we're still the opposition with
in the Party. It was he, Stain
whose far-seeing genius recognized
after the great Lenin was no longer
with us, that the strugge against
Trotzky and Zinoviev is the struggle
for the fate Of the Soviet Union.
What would the Soviet Union be
like now, what would the world be
like now, if Trotzky and Zinoviev
and their line had been victorious?
It is difficult to imagine! Soviet
Russia would not have its industries.
it would have remained a backward
agrarian country, dependent on the
capitalist states. The kulaks would
have gained the upper hand in the
villages, the SPECTATORS in the
towns, and with this a new capital
ism would have sprung up There
would not have been enough means
for the defense Of the country. It
is indeed difficult to realize what it
would have been like! Today the
world would have been in the midst
Of new and bloody imperialist war
for international imperialism would
not have missed the opportunity Of
attacking by force of arms q weak
ened Soviet Union. That this cata-
strophe has been prevented is mainly
due to Stain.
Were Vanquished
TrotZky and Zinoviev were van

And the result: the Soviet Union
Of today, the second Five Year Plan.
the mighty Naturalization the
collectivization Of agriculture. the
rapid progress of socialist construc-
ton, the steady improvement in the
standards of living of the toiling
masses, the mighty defensive forces
Of the country. its enormous inter
national Importance as main SUP
port Of the peace of the world. The
proletariat Of the Soviet Union and
Of the whole world have chiefly
Stain to thank for all this. his
genius, his farsightedness. his grasp
Of the situation. his ability to lead
these many millions on the path
to socialism in face of all difficult
ties and obstacles. Indeed, the scum
Of international counter-revolution
have every reason to concentrate
their hatred on Comrade Stain.
The toiling masses Of the Soviet
Union and the world proletariat ad-
mire and love their great Stain the
more. "Glorification of a monarch
is the sneer of the fascist bandit
who himself grovels in the dust at
the feet Of any crowned or un-
croWned capitalist idiot. And this
same sneer is heard when the army
of the fighters honor and love Their
great leader So listen, you toadies
and time servers! Yes. He is oul

Stain He is our beloved Stain. Dc
you want to know why? Because
he has led us to the victory Of So
cialism in the Soviet Union, because
he will lead us to the victory OF
socialism all over the world.
Therefore we honor and love our
Comrade Stain with love which
your mercenary servile souls could
never understand And when we
honor the ashes of the murdered
colleague and friend of Stain, Com
rade Kirov, and cry: Down with
Trotzkyisrn, this agency of inter-
national fascisml' we add in the
same breath: Gather round our
Bolshevist general staff, and its
leader, Comrade Stalinl"
