Putin gifted to CPRF chief Zuganov a painting 'Glory to the great Soviet era'
G.A. Zyuganov: "We are laying the Soviet foundation for the future of Russia"
On July 3, preceding the plenary session of the State Duma, the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation G.A. addressed the journalists. Zyuganov.
G.A. Zyuganov:
- Good afternoon. Today is July 3. There are many bright and amazing events associated with this date.
July 3, 1941 I.V. Stalin made an address to the people. He said: "Brothers and sisters, the fascists declared war on us for total destruction. But we can stand it. Our cause is right! We will win!" Stalin, in his July address, urged to rely on all the best in the great, heroic, thousand-year history of Russia, starting with Alexander Nevsky. And he concluded his speech with a forecast that we will definitely win under the red Banner of October and Lenin.
Today, under the Red Banner of Victory, fraternal Belarus celebrates the 80th anniversary of liberation from the Nazi invaders.
President of Russia V.V. Putin, when he congratulated me on the title of Hero of Labor the other day, gave me two paintings. One picture "Glory to the great Soviet era. The party and the victorious homeland." And the second "Salute to our Motherland in honor of the liberation of Belarus and the city of Vitebsk. June 26, 1944." For me, this picture is a sacred gift that embodies the courageous struggle of all my family, which defended the great Soviet era. The fact is that my father's older brother Alexander Mikhailovich Zyuganov commanded the battalion and died the death of the brave during the liberation of Vitebsk.
When my father instructed me to work in the Komsomol and party, he said: "Remember, son, that there was nothing lighter, kinder and more conscientious than the Soviet power in this world. Our father (your grandfather), a church school teacher, had eight children. We all got a class higher education only thanks to the Soviet power.
That's why I want to thank all my friends. Country leadership. The entire composition of the People's Patriotic Union. Leaders of the UPC-CPSU. His deputies. Members of the Presidium. Secretaries of the Central Committee. CPRF asset.
Thank you, journalists, for quite objectively marking this date, which every person who has lived a long and difficult life is obliged to celebrate.
I want to express my special gratitude to the TV channels. There were no dubious stories this time. Channels "Russia 1" and "Russia 24" created two full-fledged films. For the first time, they reflected in great detail the tragedy of the 90s and our courageous position, which helped to save our country from the Civil War twice. Then the fire of this war began to flare up in the center of Moscow. After the default, the entire economy and finances collapsed. The government of Primakov, Maslyukov and Gerashchenko, together with the CPRF, dragged the country from the edge of the abyss.
On this day, the 10th Congress of the Communist Party was also held, during which the oligarchs and snags of the Yeltsin era tried to carry out a raider seizure of our party, they organized a bandit raid. We then survived and offered Russian society a program for the future.
Putin presented his view of the events in the world at the Munich Conference. We fully supported his position on foreign policy. After that, national projects were born. We have adopted a law on strategic planning.
We proposed the program "Ten Steps to a Decent Life", which was approved by the Orel International Economic Forum. On the basis of this program, we lay the Soviet foundation for the future of Russia, based on the most brilliant traditions of our people and on the Russian world, against which the Anglo-Saxons are waging a war of destruction.
It is necessary to consistently implement the policy of Lenin-Stalinist modernization. It is necessary to rely on the experience of people's enterprises. During the anniversary, my deputies Afonin and Novikov showed a three-volume book about the work of our party and all patriotic forces, which reflects our position on all key issues. These books will be a good tool for future generations of party members and Komsomol members.
Today, a qualitatively different course is maturing. The course is the left handler!
The president admitted that capitalism has reached an impasse.
