INSIDE THE COUNTRIES OF SOCIALISM

THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA (DPRK)
In September, in the DPRK, the main day of celebration is the Day since the founding of the DPRK - on 9 September 1948. On this day, at the First session of the Supreme People's Assembly, the formation of the Socialist state was proclaimed. Comrade Kim Il Sung was elected head of the DPRK and Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The country lives according to the Constitution adopted in 1972 with additions adopted at the III Session of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK of the 9th meeting of 9th April 1992. According to the Constitution, every citizen of the DPRK has the right to free higher education, compulsory secondary school education, free qualified health care, the right to work and housing. The youngest generation is being educated in free kindergartens, where the children receive the most correct primary skills in culture, patriotism and also the chance to show their own natural gifts and abilities, at the same time correctly orientating themselves in the future in defining their own type of occupation and work activity. Children are cared for in a special way by the state. They are provided with free childrens camps for holidays, Pioneer Palaces, sports equipment where dignified Korean masters of sport grow from and are winners and prize-winners in many international competitions. The Constitution of the DPRK is a constitution of a socialist state, where the many concern of the state is the raising up of the standard of living of the population, and concern for its well-being.
One can read the text of the constitution of the DPRK on the website of the CC AUCPB in the section "Inside the countries of socialism - the DPRK" (in Russian).
During the period of the almost 60 years of development along a socialist model, the DPRK has made big strides forward, having created a highly developed industry, a mining industry, a modern system of agriculture, the development of hydro-electric energy, a powerful defence state form any encroachment on its independence, having become a powerful nuclear power under Kim Jong Il, the predecessor to the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
The successes of socialist construction are annoying the imperialist community, especially the USA, which aims to destroy the DPRK at whatever the cost, holding the socialist state during its entire existence under a state of a brutal embargo. This embargo has not weakened even under the new black president of the USA. therefore, the DPRK preserves vigilance and is firmly standing on guard of its borders. At the same time, it displays humanism towards its enemies. Thus, recently, the two US journalists-spies who were caught crossing the border into the DPRK illegally and were sent to obtain information for western mass-media (naturally slanderous information) were detained and expected sentencing. The ex-US president Clinton personally came to Pyongyang and asked Kim Jong Il to pardon the spies. Kim Jong Il humanly released them. Such humanism is not characteristic of the USA which for already several years has been holding in jail 5 Cuban patriots who had unmasked the preparation for acts of sabotage to take place on the territory of Cuba.
On 3 September 2003, Comrade Kim Jong Il was re-elected to the highest post - Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK (at the I session of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK of the 11 meeting). Comrade Kim Jong Il is a great statesman and political activist of modern times, wisely and with determination leading the Korean people along the path of constructing a prosperous socialist state of a unified nation. And this is in extremely complex conditions of pressure from the imperialist West on the DPRK, unifying themselves against the socialist state. The Workers' Party of Korea, the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, the glorious Armed Forces of the country are successfully solving tasks set forth by Comrade Kim Jong Il. Therefore, everything is possible for the people of the DPRK under the leadership of their wise helmsman and military-political headquarters led by him.
The 22 September marks 60 years since Comrade Kim Jong Suk - the mother of Kim Jong Il died. She was a heroine of the anti-Japanese struggle, a friend, comrade and wife of the Great Leader. She instilled into the young, Kim Jong Il great feelings of love towards his Motherland, brought him up to be kind and considerate, sensitively understand the beauty of his own excellent country of morning calm.
On the occasion of these two famous dates - the 61 anniversary since the founding of the DPRK and the 6th year since the re-electing of Kim Jong Il to the highest state post, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (CC AUCPB) Comrade Andreeva has sent congratulatory telegrams in the name of the Leader of the country Comrade Kim Jong Il. A memorial letter on the occasion of 60 years since the Kim Jong Suk died has been sent to Kim Jong Il.

FIDEL CASTRO DIAZ-BALART HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE IN MOSCOW

Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, son of the legendary Fidel Castro Ruz on 5 June 2009 in the Cuban embassy in Moscow, gave a press conference for Russian and foreign correspondents.
Replying to questions put to him by journalists, Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart noted that science in Cuba during the years following the triumph of the Revolution has made a gigantic leap forward in its development. At the start of the Revolution, 30% of the population was illiterate and there was no tradition of science. Today in existence, there are 75
universities, 6.5% of the active population of the country have a university education, and there are more than 200 scientific centres. In the various international publications, one can read material about the achievements made by Cuban scientists. The brightest direction of development of science in Cuba is the bio-technological sector. 800 Cuban patents have been licensed in 60 countries of the world. 50 different types of Cuban vaccinations, medicine are sold in various countries. In September 1992, construction had to be halted on a nuclear power station, despite the fact that a large part of the work had already been carried out. The reason for this was - the demise of the Soviet Union. The notorious Helms-Burton law was working on this side. But indeed this was a purely peaceful program. Nowadays in Cuba there are about 200 establishments that are using nuclear energy - hospitals and various production facilities.
What new things has the arrival to power of the new US president Barak Obama brought? There were promises of changes in relations between the US-Cuba. But so far there have been practically no changes. Intensive debates have been underway in the USA on this subject, in particular in Congress. American society is demanding an ending of the blockade against Cuba on part of the US. Concerning the negative effect of the US blockade on science in Cuba, it is broad. For example, medicine for children suffering from cancer cannot be exported to Cuba out of the USA. The same can be said for high-tech medical equipment. Many outstanding Cuban scientists are invited to scientific conferences in the US, but the US authorities do not grant them visas to enter the USA. Cuban has an entire complex of scientific establishments dedicated to social sciences. A large number of international scientific meetings are held on this them, where we never aim to narrow the spectra of presented opinions. On the initiative of Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz, ten meeting have already been held for discussing the problems of globalization with wide international participation. One of the aims of my present visit to Moscow was to obtain a degree of doctor of sciences in the Moscow engineering-physics institute. My meetings with representatives of science and education have become traditional in the Kurchatovsky Institute and in the Moscow State University. On one coincidental occasion at one of the Russian universities, a decision was taken to award a degree of honored doctor to the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz. I had the privilege of receiving in his name, this honored degree. Concerning Medvedev's visit to Cuba at the end of 2008 and the visit to Moscow in February this year by Cuba leader Raul Castro, then we are now in the process of strengthening ties, opening up new possibilities in our relations. The question of presenting Cubans 100 grants for studying in the Russian Federation. This is a very good sign, the revival of a remarkable tradition of studying by thousands of Cubans during Soviet times.
Concerning the US base at Guantanamo. From the moment of victory of the Cuban revolution, the Revolutionary government has been demanding the return of the base to Cuba. The base originated in 1898, when the Spanish left Cuba. The initial "argument" by the USA was that it was to build a base for supplying coal for US ships. A lease treaty was signed, but only valid for 99 years. The time has passed, but the Americans have still not left the base. The base occupies 22 thousand square miles of Cuban territory. Now the Americans have transformed Guantanamo into an appalling prison, where lawlessness reigns. Obama promised to close the prison by the end of this year. The fulfillment of this pledge will be proof of the reality of the intentions of the US authorities in relation to Cuba. Meanwhile, real advancements have yet to take place. Concerning the Cuban population, it is very much politicized. It has endured much in fifty years. This, along with economic losses amounting to 95 billion dollars along with the 3500 lives of Cubans killed as a result of acts of terrorism.
About the Organisation of American States. The heads of all the Latin American states have agreed that the policy of the USA regarding the exclusion of Cuba from the OAS is a complete fiasco. All the presidents agreed that regardless of whether or not Cuba will be reinstated in the OAS, the situation with Cuba is a shameful appearance of the Monro doctrine which began at the start of the 19th century. All these changes in positions are the true indicators of the understanding of what the Cuban revolution really is in the world and in Latin America, and indeed the changes of positions have occurred without any conditions or demands on part of the Cubans.
About oil and gas in Cuba. I want to remind everyone here about Baibakov - a person who is remembered and loved in Cuba and who played a huge role in the establishment of friendship between our countries. In the 1980-s, the USSR and the socialist camp provide us with huge amounts of assistance in the exploration of the shelf and territory of Cuba for oil. A whole number of deposits were discovered. Earlier, Cuba managed to pump 200 thousand tons of oil, but nowadays, pumps 4 million tons of oil and gas. There are prospects of finding oil in the shelf at a deeper level.
About my personal interests. When I was younger, I occupied myself with sport very intensively: baseball, basketball, swimming and water polo. I loved chess, when I arrived in the Soviet Union to study, I took the name Jose Raul in honor of Fernandez. Sport it very important. People of all ages should do sport as much as they can in order to maintain themselves in good form.
Is it is difficult being the son of such a famous father? There are bright and dark sides to this. Of course this is a huge responsibility and a hue honor.
About Cuban medicine. Nowadays, Cuban doctors work in 60 countries. There are 35 thousand of them. They are working in Venezuela and on small islands. We help fight the consequences of natural disasters in various corners of the world. We have an Institute "Latin American school of medicine" where students from many countries including the USA study. One day, Fidel said: "To be an internationalist - one has to give oneself to humanity!" According to the "Children of Chernobyl" program, 25 thousand children and young people have been to Cuba for treatment over the past 23 years. In the framework of 36 agreements signed at high-level talks in Moscow, special attention is paid to the agreement "On strategic cooperation". Our relations are broadening and the doors of Cuba are open for cooperation.
Undoubtedly, everyone present at the press conference formed an opinion: Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart is a knowledgeable, authoritative specialist, a mature politician, with a large range of his further growth as a politician and organizer.

STALIN. THE ATOM BOMB. MODERN TIMES.

The year - 1949. The day - 29 August. Sixty years ago at the Semipalatinsk test site in Northern Kazakhstan the first Soviet atom bomb was detonated. The United States was deprived of its monopoly over nuclear weapons. The entire bourgeois world gasped in surprise and fear. Looking back nowadays over the last ten years, we have clearer than ever been understanding the greatness of this achievement by the Soviet people. The country ruined by the Hitlerite invasion, and enduring a sharp need in the most vital things, had thrown down a challenge to America and the entire capitalist world which had got fat on the backs of the war - we will defend the cause of socialism in the Soviet Union, pit the Soviet nuclear might against your human-hating plans for bombing our country with nuclear weapons! Only a socialist country could achieve this with a unified planned economy, with the ability to mobilise in a steel fist, all the economic and human resources, only a united Soviet people under the leadership of the Bolshevik AUCP (b) led by the wise strategist JV Stalin.
How was this case? Eyewitnesses recall. In autumn 1949, the "device" - the atom bomb, was ready for testing. L.P. Beria arrived on 26 August at the test site. Two explosive detonators were brought along (one for reserve). Having examined the preparation procedures, J.V. Kurchatov in accordance by personal order of Beria established a time for carrying out the test - 29 August 1949 at 8 am. On 28 August, the shot-firers carried out a final inspection of the tower, prepared the auto-detonator device and checked the cable. By 4 am on 29 August, K.I. Shelkin and S.N. Matveev arrived at the tower with a set of military electro-detonators. K.I. Shelkin gave the order for removal of the "device" from the workshop and setting it up on the tower. By 5 05 am, all site personnel were evacuated from the test field except the officer security personnel for the ministry of state security (MGB). By the moment of carrying out final operations, the weather worsened significantly. Dark clouds descended upon the test site, covering the whole sky. It began to rain. Everyone on the tower went below. A.P. Zavenyagin and K.I. Shelkin were responsible for locking the entrance to the tower and sealing it. In avoiding anything unpleasant connected with the weather, IV Kurchatov with Beria's permission, makes the decision to bring forward the test by 1 hour, from 8 am to 7 am. 25 minutes before detonation, the locks were removed from the operating command point and the auto-detonator device switched on, for 20 seconds - the knife-switch was turned on, which connected the "device" circuit to the remote control system. From this point onwards, everything was now in automatic mode. At 7 am exactly, on 29 August 1949 the entire desert of the Kazakh steppe was lit up by a blinding light ... (to see video footage of this atomic test, go to the following link: http://www.sonicbomb.com/ modules.php? name = Content & pa = showpage & pid = 50

It had been done! The huge amount of labour of hundreds of thousands of people, the entire Soviet country had been successfully carried out. "Do not forget that we had a super important task: in the shortest amount of time possible to create a weapon which would defend our Motherland! When we were able to solve this task, we felt a certain relief, even happiness!" That's what the creators of the bomb thought.
The problem in creating the bomb originated before the war, when in 1939, two German physicists Hahn and Strassman discovered nuclear fission. And these results were not a secret anywhere. The news of this was published in our newspapers - in the newspaper "Izvestiya". Nuclear fission itself (in its chemical form) was discovered by Soviet scientist NN Semenov. Soviet scientists in open publications in 1939 and 1940 explained the state of a nuclear explosion, gained sensible evaluations of the critical of Uranian -235. There was another side to the secret of the atom bomb - in that who out of the warring powers was prepared to throw colossal economic and technical resources into creating new branches of industry for creating an atom bomb, powerful enough to give decisive advantage in a war . This was primarily, a wide-scale economic problem. The Soviet leadership and Stalin was well informed in 1940 - 1945 about the problem and the actions of the USA, Germany, and Britain. Thanks to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria - under his leadership the Strategic reconnaissance worked gloriously! The USA began full-scale work on an atom bomb in 1940, a little later, Germany, this research was carried out by Hering. The Soviet Union, the Soviet Government in 1941 - 1943 was compelled to solve one task - the country was fighting with all its strength to destroy Hitler's plans for a "Blitzkrieg". The Stalingrad victory dispelled all hopes of the Germans of a "Blitzkrieg". Now, we had to drive the Fritzes back to their den. After Stalingrad it was possible to resume pre-war work on the Uranium project. On 11 February 1943, Stalin signed a government degree on organising work on using nuclear energy in military affairs. V.M. Molotov was supervising them in 1943-1945. Who at that time was it thought a future Soviet atom bomb would be used against? Naturally against our enemy in the Great Patriotic War - fascist Germany. Already after the end of the war, intelligence sources, scientific specialists with authority explained that Germany, despite its excellent scientific and raw material possibilities could not even come close to creating an atom bomb!
The Americans had built a bomb in 5 years. They tested it in the summer of 1945 and almost immediately bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They bombed a practically fallen Japan, but frightened the Soviet Union with an atom bomb. It is enough just to cite two phrases by Truman spoken by him in 1945: "the Russians will soon be put in their place", "whether or not we want to, we have to recognise that the victory achieved BY US has placed on the American people a time of responsibility for the further ruling of the world ". And this was not just boastful rhetoric. The USA was the financing masters of the post-war capitalist world.
The second world war practically uninterruptedly turned into a "cold war" against socialism. Great danger hung over the Soviet Union! And Stalin responded immediately. On 20 August 1945, under the State Committee for Defence (GKO), a Special inter-departmental committee on questions of solving the nuclear question was formed. Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria was the head of this committee from the outset until 1953. And this was by far no coincidence. Beria was a very clever man, with a good technical understanding, with brilliant organisational abilities. For his service in the development of the Soviet defence industry, in 1945 he was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labour. In December 1945, Beria left the post of People's Commissar for Internal Affairs and went from the Lyubyanka into the Kremlin, into the cabinet of vice Chairman of the Soviet of People's Commissars.
The Special interdepartmental committee was unique, an organisation having no analogues. The main principles were: complete secrecy, no red tape, and work carried out at the fastest tempo! From the order of the GKO: "No organisation, establishment or person is allowed to hinder the administrative-economic and operational activity of the First Main Headquarters (PGU, the executive body of the Special committee), its enterprise and institutions, or demand documents on its work being carried out by orders of the First Main Headquarters, without special permission from the GKO. All reports on the work being carried out is to be directed to the Special committee under the GKO only ". Organisations of the PGU were in order, allowed to start any work, any construction, make any order for equipment without established projects and estimates.
The cadres decide everything! And this was taken into account from the very start. Institutes and establishments on the nuclear theme had the right to special choice of graduated from any higher learning institutions. The researchers that were needed were taken on here. One of the veterans of Arzamas-16 recalls: "... Truthfully speaking, I did not want to come here ... .. But afterwards, I did not regret coming here. Here, we saw the true level of work both scientific and in engineering. It was no worse than the West in any way at all .... A year had passed from a daydream, from completely fresh idea until it was embodied into life ".
And, what was the attitude of those running the program towards their subordinates? When one of the leading scientists did not hide his own sympathies towards genetics, and antipathies towards Lisyenko, the security service decided to remove him from the project and the chief constructor had to ring Beria direct and say that this employee is doing much useful work. The conversation was limited to a single question, following a lengthy pause: "Do you really need him?" Having received a positive reply and having said: "Well ok then", Beria replaced the phone. The incident was settled. Another famous phrase Beria used in defence of another person working on the project was: "All the people who are working on this project have been chosen by me personally. I am prepared to answer for the actions of every one of them. These people are working and will work honestly on the project which they have been assigned. "
Naturally, J.V. Stalin himself carefully followed the nuclear project. Kurchatov himself kept personal records made by him right after the hour long meeting with Stalin on the evening of 25 January 1946. Only Molotov and Beria took part in the conversation. In the flow of the conversation, Stalin did not advise working on small things or searching for cheap ways. He emphasized that it was necessary to act "widely, with a Russian scope", and that in relation to this, wide-ranging help will be provided. Stalin noted that our scientists were very modest people and "sometimes do not even notice that they live badly". From Kurchatov's notes: "in relation to the scientists, Stalin was concerned about how help could be rendered to them in the everyday-material plan and in bonuses for much work carried out, for example, in solving our problem .... A proposal was put forth to write about measures that would be needed to be taken in order to speed up the work and everything connected with this ". Everything needed was truly given by the country. There was a period, when in the USSR one could not buy a medical thermometer - an extremely important item. Why? The nuclear scientists needed a lot of mercury! They were given everything! The atom bomb was created in the USSR, ravaged by a war against the fascists, in just four years!
The first Soviet atom bomb was called RDS-1. The people nicknamed it Stalin's Rocket Engine! In the two months after the detonation of the first atom bomb, a secret order was issued by the Soviet of Ministers of the USSR from 29 October 1949, and signed by Stalin. Several of the most outstanding participators in the work were awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labour and won a prize. The entire spectrum of Soviet science was brought into the work on the atomic problem: physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, metallurgy and others. In the direct sense of the word, this was a victory for the entire Soviet people! Everyone worked for their united Motherland - the USSR. These were people of many, many nationalities.
With the hydrogen bomb, Soviet scientists had not only caught up, but surpassed the Americans, having tested on 12 August 1953 a real hydrogen charge, ready for use in the form of a bomb. Soviet atomic industry and science was steadily developing. The nuclear charges themselves were modernized along with the means for their delivery and different versions of their use. Peaceful professions on the nuclear explosion were researched: taming of gas fountains, the creating of underground bunkers, the formation of water reserves and many others.
With the entire significance of the technical achievements of the Soviet Union in the sphere of mastering nuclear energy, it is important to understand that the creating of a nuclear missile shield was the most important component of the Soviet policy for the struggle for peace, opposing the human-hating plans of American imperialism and its allies, having unleashed the "cold war", and having divided Europe that had only just been liberated from the fascists along the principle of either belonging or not belonging to the NATO alliance created by them in 1949 .
Back in June 1946, a Soviet delegation in the UN commission on atomic energy introduced a project of the International Convention "On banning the production and use of weapons based on the use of atomic energy with the aim of mass destruction", which of course was balloted to the obedient pro-American majority. The Americans needed something entirely different. In November 1948, US president Truman established a plan of the Chief of Staff of the US armed forces on carrying out a nuclear war against the USSR (the "Pincher" plan, envisaging a strike against 50 towns across the USSR including Moscow and Leningrad, using 70 atom bombs. In May 1955, the Appeal by the USSR to all nuclear states with a proposal to make a commitment to stop nuclear-testing, was left on the table with no positive reaction. It was only when obvious and generally acknowledged nuclear parity was achieved between the USA and USSR, when the American politicians recognized this objective reality, the impossibility of it changing in any form, did it become possible to make efforts on reducing the nuclear threat, and reducing the gigantic reserves of nuclear weapons that had been achieved.
Maybe, the count-down for this began on 26 May 1972, when the USSR and USA signed a complex of agreements known as the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT-1 Treaty), in which entered: the Agreement on measures on reducing the threat of nuclear war, the Treaty on limiting anti-ballistic missile systems (ABM), Temporary Agreement on some measures in the sphere of limiting strategic offensive weapons and the Protocol to the Treaty on limiting the ABM systems. However, even here, not everything went smoothly. The USA violated the ABM Treaty, having transferred onto the territory of Norway the RLS "Globus-2" tested as an element of ABM. On 12 June 2002, the USA one-sidedly withdrew from the ABM Treaty. On 18 June 1979, a complex of agreements were signed between the USSR and the USA, known as SALT-2 Treaty, in which the following entered: A treaty on limitation of strategic offensive weapons, a Protocol to the Treaty on limitation of strategic offensive weapons, a Joint declaration on the principles and main direction of consequent talks on limiting strategic arms. The treaty was not ratified by the US Senate. Nevertheless, its points were observed by both sides. The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START-1) was signed on 30 - 31 July 1991 in Moscow, and came into force on 5 December 1994 after several years following the demise of the USSR. The START-1 treaty runs out on 5 December 2009. According to the treaty, the USSR and USA should have in the flow of 7 years, reduced their own nuclear arsenals in such a way, that each side would have no more than 6 thousand nuclear warheads remaining. Throughout the treaty, about 10 serious violations made by the USA were recorded. In particular, the nuclear warheads and second-stage rockets were not used by them, but only locked away in warehouses, which then created a "return to service potential". The START-2 Treaty on further strategic arms reduction was signed on 3 January 1993. The treaty bans the use of ballistic missiles with separating warheads. In response to the withdrawal on 14 June 2002 of the USA from the ABM treaty of 1972, Russia withdrew from START-2. A treaty on reducing strategic offensive potentials (so-called Moscow Treaty) was signed in Moscow on 24 May 2002 between Russia and the USA. The conditions of the treaty limit the number of strategic nuclear warheads that are on standby, up to 1700-2200 on both sides. The Moscow Treaty came into force on 1 July 2003, and it runs out on 31 December 2012.
At present, in 2009, in front of Russia stands the most complex question - what policy is to be carried out in relation to the question of reducing nuclear weapons, and how to respond to the recent proposal put forth by US president Barak Obama on the further sharp (in times over) reduction of nuclear weapons. Time has long ago and clearly showed the foolishness of the thesis which has been propagated by the so-called "democrats": "Democratic Russia" has no enemies! America is our best friend! The modern world has turned out incomparably more brutal and complicated than these "democrats" ever imagined and tried convincing those around them.
For the United States, now the subject of nuclear disarmament is safe. The USA possesses colossal advantage in weapons over all potential opponents and, possibly even over all potential opponents taken together, without even talking concretely about Russia. This advantage gives America the chance to go along the path of reducing nuclear potentials whilst expanding its own military-strategic supremacy. In this situation, Russia falls into a certain trap. Refusal to disarm may deliver a blow to Russia's international reputation. But if Russia agrees, then the country's nuclear shield which is, in essence, the sole guarantee against an attack on Russia on part of the strong (?) Military powers.
In today's merciless world, it is namely nuclear forces that are the stabilizing political factor. Talks on purely nuclear disarmament are now practically senseless and for Russia in any case, they would lose if they (obviously or less obviously) do not consider the actual complete collapse of the former Soviet Army, the terrible state of its conventional weapons, the necessity of counting the total balance of nuclear and conventional weapons (especially the highly accurate ones).
Ending this, one can say - the nuclear weapon was until 1991, and remains even now, the most reliable guarantee for sovereignty and independence of our country in the face of a powerful bloc of bourgeois states headed by the USA, in conditions of a continuous growth by them of military expenditure, the building and updating by them of new types of offensive weapons (conventional as well as nuclear weapons) and persistent aiming towards a global diktat in today's mono-polar world.

THE WORKERS 'MOVEMENT AND OUR TASKS
In the conditions of a deep economic crisis which has been gripping the country since Autumn of 2008, there has been a further gathering and development of a meanwhile still weak, localized and unorganized workers' movement.
The workers' movement, having endured a wave of its birth and growth in the 1990-s, when the heavy collapse in production as a result of the restoration of capitalism and the little settling in the period of Putin's rule in the conditions of an " economic growth "(if anything - just on paper), beginning in 2005 and especially in conditions of an economic crisis, is again going through an upturn.
In essence, the economic crisis in the country has not stopped, starting in the 1990-s and today it has broken out with new strength, finishing off our industry and taking on a threatening character. In the spring of this year, it may have reached a critical point.
According to information by Rosstat (Russian statistics), industrial production in Russia in the first quarter fell by 14.8%, compared to the same time last year. The volume of production in the refining sectors of industry fell by 21.3%. machine-building and metallurgy have fallen into sharp decline. The production of rolled ferrous metals fell by 27% and steel pipes - by 30.3%.
The production of metal-cutting machines fell by 62.4%, enrichment equipment - by 63.7% and electric motors - by 68.3%. Car production fell by 60%, lorry production - by 72.5% and buses - by 63.5%.
Even raw material branches of the economy which give tons to the Russian economy have been suffering under the crisis. Gas extraction fell by 20.8%, coal mining - by 15.1%, iron ore - by 20.8% and it is only oil extraction that has remained at its previous level.
The construction sector is in deep crisis with 80% of building project frozen.
Such is the depressing data by official statistics. Enterprises are closing down and workers are left without a job or are transferred over to part time work. And as a result - an uplift of the workers' movement.
However, the majority of hired workers are responding to the crisis weakly, as well as to complete violations of labour legislation which the capitalists make in order to preserve their profits. A mass workers' movement does not exist in the country even in the conditions of an ever deepening crisis.
The vast majority of actions by the workers are localized at separate enterprises and are carried out spontaneously, without the organizing role of trades unions and communists, with a demand for paying back wage arrears in the form of separate strikes - a collective refusal to work and the stopping of production.
The workers are mainly fighting for their immediate economic demands - firstly, ending of wage arrears, which in the conditions of a crisis are not being paid for several months or even more than half a year. Here, we are talking about survival, which pushed the workers to carry out protest actions.
However, the crisis has brought something new into the struggle of the working class, expanding its boundaries, methods and slogans of struggle, pushing the workers towards recognizing the need for a political struggle.
In the conditions of an ever increasing number of bankruptcies of industrial enterprises, the workers are now demanding not only getting paid what they are owed. One of the main slogans of the work collectives today - is saving the enterprise. In the conditions, when the capitalists are throwing their enterprises and work collectives at the mercy of fate, saving their own profits, the workers are demanding the restarting of work of the enterprise and preserving the work collective. The workers are also coming out against being transferred over to part-time work, as well as a reduction in staff and wages.
There are cases, although very rare, when the workers demand transparency of the financial activity of the enterprise and even form bodies of workers' control. Thus, as meeting of the work collective of the Barachinsky electro-mechanical factory, that was on the verge of bankruptcy, the workers in the presence of representatives of the "Elektroprofsoyuz" trade union discussed the situation at the factory which a town was built around , where wages have not been paid since last year. The workers at that factory formed a council for the work collective which would monitor the movement of money at the factory.
The workers also put forth the slogan for nationalization of the enterprise, the transfer of it over into the property of the state. This bears witness to the political flash, in the worker's consciousness, if only weakly.
The working class, now living in conditions of a crisis with the severe realities of monstrous capitalist exploitation and heartless to the needs of people on part of the owners, and also their indifference to the fate of the enterprise are starting to understand how worthless all talk of "effectiveness" really is that is glorifying private ownership.
Today, the demands being made by workers to nationalize the enterprise is not the only thing. Thus, on 6th August in Tolyatti, a mass meeting of workers of the VAZ auto factory took place, organized by the "Unity" trade union. With their resolution, they demanded the nationalization of the enterprise and workers' control over its financial-economic activity. Demanding the nationalization of the enterprise, although we are talking here about a modern-day bourgeois state, the working class is, by their intuition, moving towards the ideas of socialism, understanding the lack of prospect of the the capitalism that has been unleashed upon them.
The data gathered from a sociological survey bears witness to the popularity of the slogan of nationalization of enterprises. Thus, citizens have more often been pointing out the need for nationalization of private enterprises for overcoming the crisis: if in October 2008, only 58% of people asked actually supported such a position (28% of whom were fully supportive of the idea and 38 % would agree), then today, 82% agree with the idea (44% and 38% respectively). At the same time, there are less people against nationalization of enterprises: in all 7%, compared to 20% in October last year.
Also the forms and methods of struggle have changed. Together with a strike, the workers are more often turning to street actions - meetings and pickets, addressing their demands to the bodies of power. This also bares witness to the workers' movement becoming more politicized. However, the meetings, just like the strikes are localized, either within the confines of the enterprise, or town, and as a rule carry economic demands like paying the workers their wages they are owed, keeping the enterprise open and also in some cases -- - - demanding the nationalization of the enterprise.
The blocking of highways, or the threat of blocking them - has today in the conditions of a crisis, become for the desperate workers, the most effective tool for defending their rights at work. The example of the town of Pikalev, when after blocking a main road by the workers of enterprises which towns had been built around, Putin arrived at the scene, and straight away, money was found for paying back the wage arrears to the workers and also the work of the enterprise was restored, this was a lesson for the workers of other towns and cities. Workers at the OOO "ATZ-Zapchast" auto-parts factory, the Boganovichsky enterprise, ZAO "Magistral" and other enterprises made attempts to block main roads. And these actions have a strong affect on the authorities. The enterprises are partially restored, and the wages owing, paid to the workers in full, the authorities thereby taking responsibility.
However, despite the new forms and method of struggle by the workers, as a whole, the workers' movement here has preserved its backwardness. Thus, the most common form of struggle today is the hunger strike and is the least effective method of struggle, and it is dangerous and harmful for the health of the worker; if workers turn to strike action, then as a rule, it is in the form of an individual's refusal to work (implemented collectively) or in the form of a spontaneous strike.
Workplace conflicts without any order, spontaneously or locally flare up, but do not pour into a mass movement.
But the main thing is the fact that workers by far are not raising themselves up to the awareness of the need of a political struggle for establishing the power of the working class, but fighting mainly just for survival.
Today, we in a state of weakness and at the same time, a growth of the workers' movement and deepening economic crisis, have to adopt in the regions, the following steps on establishing ties with the worker's movement:
- Follow the situation in the workers 'movement in a given region (town, area, region, etc,) and across the country as a whole, noticing where workers' actions take place, and providing them with organizational, methodological, informational, moral and other forms of support, primarily in the organisation of a strike movement;
- Set up ties with active workers, especially young trade union activists, and through them, study the situation at the enterprise, distribute our newspapers and recruit into the ranks of our supporters and sympathizers and into the ranks of the party;
- Set up a network for distributing our central party newspapers, regional newspapers, mass leafleting at enterprises, among work collectives, at workers' acts of protest;
- Work with trades unions, independent / alternative ones as well as Smakovite (official / sellout) unions - as lower cells, providing them with selfless support in their struggle for workers' rights;
- Help workers to organize, or yourselves organize protest action or acts of solidarity with the struggling work collectives in the form of pickets and meetings.
These are the minimum tasks. Today, the main reason for weakness of the working class lies in the absence of a connection between the communist movement with the workers' of trades union movement.
Our party - the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, has a good experience of regional work with the working class, an experience we must learn from and carry over into other regions. Thus, in Novosibirsk, work with the alternative trades union "Siberian Regional Profcentre", with a number of lower trade union organisations of the Smakovite official trade unions, providing them with organizational and informational support. We had set up the publication and a network for distribution at large industrial enterprises of the town, jointly with the trades unions and leftist organisations and parties which make up the Novosibirsk Solidarity Action Committee, a regular trade union newspaper "For work rights!". With our support in Novosibirsk, a telephone hotline has been opened for providing free legal consultation to workers who have be subjected to breaches in employment law and not just that. We assist workers organize pickets and meetings in defence of their demands, for example, to the workers of OOO PO "YuniOnex", and others. We monitor the situation in all actions by the workers and trade unions, providing them with moral-political support and distributing our newspapers and leaflets among the participators of the action. We give workers regular information support, periodically publishing in the newspaper "For work rights!" And on the internet information about workers 'actions, the situation in the workers' movement and at large enterprises of the city and region, etc.
The weakness of the workers' movement is conditioned by objective as well as subjective factors, much of which has been repeatedly spoken about in our party documents and printed material. The main factor is in the absence of the organizational role of the advanced guard of the working class - the communist party, which has to solidify the spontaneous acts of protest of the working class for their inherent interests into an organized struggle, starting from the struggle at enterprises and in the region, and up to the organisation of a general political strike, with this, raising the struggle up to the level of a political struggle for power - the overthrowing of the rule of the bourgeoisie and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat . Without this, a victory of a socialist revolution will be impossible.

In the socialist countries
North Korea

In September, the main holiday of the DPRK is the Foundation Day of North Korea - September 9, 1948. On this day at the First Session of the Supreme People's Assembly was proclaimed the establishment of a socialist state. The head of the DPRK and the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, was elected Comrade Kim Il Sung.
The country lives under the Constitution, adopted in 1972, with additions made at the III-rd session of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK on 9-th convocation April 9, 1992 According to the Constitution, every citizen of the DPRK has the right to free higher education, compulsory education, free qualified health, right to work and housing. The youngest generation brought up in a free kindergarten, where obtains initial experience of culture, patriotism, as well as the opportunity to display their natural talents and abilities, thereby properly orient the future in determining the kind of work and employment. Kids - a special concern of the state. They are given free children's summer camps, the Palace of Pioneers, sports facilities, which grows a worthy replacement Korean masters of sport, winner of many international competitions. Constitution of North Korea - it is the constitution of the socialist state, where the main concern of the state is higher living standards and concern for his welfare.
The text of the Constitution can be found at CC CCBP in the section "In the socialist countries - North Korea.
Over a period of almost 60 years of development of the socialist model of North Korea is far stepped forward, creating a highly developed industry, mining industry, modern agriculture, hydropower development, a strong government protection against any attack on its independence, becoming the successor of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il nuclear world Power.
The achievements of socialist construction irritate imperialist community, especially the United States, seeking to whatever was to destroy the DPRK, holding a socialist state during the time of its existence in the brutal blockade. This embargo has not weakened under the new black US president. Therefore, North Korea remains vigilant and stands vigilant guard its borders. At the same time to be humane to his enemies. So recently caught crossing the border with North Korea, two American journalist - a spy, sent for information to Western media (of course, obviously defamatory) were detained and awaiting trial. Former President Clinton personally went to Pyongyang and Kim Jong Il, begged pardon for spies. Kim Jong Il humanely let them go. Such humanism is not peculiar to the United States, which for several years kept in prison five Cuban patriots who uncovered the US were preparing acts of sabotage in Cuba.
September 3, 2003, Comrade Kim Jong Il was re-elected to the highest current position - President of SDC DPRK (at the I Supreme People's Assembly session convening 11). Comrade Kim Jong Il is a great statesman and political figure of our time, wisely and purposefully lead the Korean people towards building a prosperous socialist state united nation. Moreover, in extremely difficult conditions, the pressure of the imperialist West to North Korea, united against the socialist state. Workers' Party of Korea, the State Committee for Defense, the DPRK, the glorious Armed Forces have successfully solve the tasks assigned to them by Kim Jong Il. Therefore there are no barriers that would not take the people of the DPRK under the wise leadership of its helmsman, and he led his military and political headquarters.
September 22 marks 60 years since left the life of the heroine of the anti-Japanese struggle, friend, comrade and wife of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Suk - the mother of Kim Jong Il. She laid a great future in the young Kim Jong-il ardent love for the homeland, brought him a kind and thoughtful, subtle understanding of the beauty of their beautiful country of morning freshness. The memory of Kim Jong Suk cherishes the people of the DPRK.

Andreeva addressed to the country's leader Kim Jong Il sent a congratulatory telegram. On the occasion of 60 th anniversary of the memory of Comrade Kim Jong Suk in the name of Kim Jong Il sent a letter to the memory.



Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, son of the legendary Fidel Castro, gave 5 June 2009 at the Cuban Embassy in Moscow press conference for Russian and foreign correspondents.

Answering journalists' questions, Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart noted that science in Cuba for years after the triumph of the Revolution made a giant leap forward in its development. At the beginning of the Cuban Revolution were 30% illiterate, there was no scientific tradition. Today there are 75 universities and 6.5% of active population have higher education, there are 200 research centers. In various international publications, you can see the materials on the achievements of Cuban scientists. The most striking trend of scientific development in Cuba is the sector of biotechnology. Cuban registered 800 patents in 60 countries. 50 different Cuban vaccines, drugs are sold in different countries. In September 1992, had to suspend construction of nuclear power in Cuba, despite the fact that much of the work was already done. The reason - the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the same way and acted the infamous Helms - Burton Act. But it was a purely peaceful program. Today in Cuba there are about two hundred agencies using nuclear energy - hospitals, various production centers.
What's made the rise to power of the new American president the United States - Barack Obama? Promises of change in the US-Cuba relations were. But so far there is no practical changes. In the United States are intense debates on this subject, in particular - in Congress. American Society requires the removal of the blockade. With regard to the negative impact of U.S. embargo on Cuba for science - it is inclusive. For example, medications for children with cancer - they can not be exported to Cuba from the United States. The same can be said about high-tech medical equipment. Many prominent Cuban scholars invited to scientific conferences in the US, but US authorities do not issue them visas. In the social sciences in Cuba there is a whole range of scientific institutions. Numerous international scientific meetings on this subject, on which we do not seek to narrow the range of views submitted. At the initiative of Comrade Fidel Castro has held ten meetings to discuss the challenges of globalization with broad international participation. One of the goals of my current visit to Moscow was to receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Science at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. Become a tradition my meetings with representatives of science and education at the Kurchatov Institute, Moscow State University. By coincidence, one of Russian universities, it was decided to receipt of honorary degree of Doctor of the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz. I had the privilege to receive on behalf of this honorary degree. As President Medvedev's visit to Cuba late last year and the visit to Moscow in February Ïðåäñåäàòåëÿ Ãîñóäàðñòâåííîãî Ñîâåòà Ðåñïóáëèêè Êóáà Raul Castro, now we consolidate mutual ties, open up new possibilities in our relations. The question of granting Cubans hundred fellowships for study in Russia. This is a very good sign, the rebirth of a remarkable tradition of training tens of thousands of Cubans at the time of the Soviet Union. On the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay. Ever since the victory of the Cuban revolution, the revolutionary government demanded the return of the base in Cuba. The base was established in 1898, when the Spaniards had left Cuba. The original "argument" was the U.S. - To create a supply base for U.S. coal ships. The agreement was signed for 99 years. Time passed, but Americans have not released the base. The base occupies 22 000 square miles of Cuban territory. Now the Americans have turned ugly in the Guantanamo prison, where lawlessness prevails. Obama has made a commitment to close the prison before the end of this year. Fulfilling this commitment will measure real intentions of US government against Cuba. No real changes did not happen. With regard to the Cuban population - it is very politicized. It has over fifty years undergone a great deal. This economic losses of 95 billion dollars, it is 3500 and lives of Cubans killed in the attacks. On the Organization of American States. Heads of all Latin American countries agreed that US policy on the exclusion of Cuba from the OAS has suffered a complete fiasco. All the Presidents agreed that, regardless of whether or not to return Cuba to the OAS, the situation with Cuba is a shameful demonstration of the Monroe Doctrine, which dates back to the 19 century. All these changes in the positions are real measure of understanding of what in the world and Latin America is the Cuban revolution, because changes in attitudes occurred without any conditions, requirements from the Cuban side. On oil and gas in Cuba. I want to mention here Dormousov - someone who remembered and loved in Cuba, which has played a huge role in establishing friendship Mezhuyev our countries. In the eighties, the Soviet Union and the socialist camp have given us tremendous help in the study of the shelf and in Cuba for oil. Was discovered a number of fields. Cuba used extracted 200 thousand tons of oil, now produces 4 million tons of oil and gas. There are prospects of finding oil offshore in deep water. On the personal enthusiasms: when I was younger I was heavily involved in sports: baseball, basketball, swimming, water polo. I really liked chess. When I came to study in the Soviet Union, I took his name - Jose Raul Capablanca in honor. And the name he took the most ordinary - Fernandez. Sports - this is very important. People of all ages should be possible to play sports to keep myself in good shape. Is it hard for me to be the son of a famous father? There is also light and dark sides. Of course, this is a huge responsibility and great honor. The Cuban medicine. Now, Cuban doctors working in sixty countries, their total number there - 35 thousand. They are working in Venezuela and on small islands. We have helped combat the effects of natural disasters in various parts of the globe. We have the Institute Latin American School of Medicine, where students from many countries including the United States. Fidel once said: "Being an internationalist - is to give yourself to mankind! Under the program" Children of Chernobyl "in Cuba in 23 years were treated 25 thousand children and young people. Within the 36 agreements signed at summit talks in Moscow on a special importance is the agreement on strategic cooperation. "Our relations are growing, Cuba's doors open for cooperation.
Undoubtedly, all those present at the press conference was of the view: Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart - a knowledgeable, competent professionals, a mature politician. Having a large range of its continued growth as a politician and organizer.

Stalin. NUCLEAR WEAPONS. PRESENT.
August 29, 1949. Sixty years ago at the Semipalatinsk test site was bombed the first Soviet atomic bomb. The United States lost their monopoly on nuclear weapons. The whole bourgeois world gasped with surprise and fear. Looking back at the past decades, we all clearly understand a great part of this event throughout the postwar history of mankind, we understand the greatness of this feat of the Soviet people. Ravaged by Hitler's invasion of the country, urgent need of the essentials, and threw a bold challenge fattened on war America, the entire capitalist world - we will protect the cause of socialism in the Soviet Union, to oppose the Soviet nuclear power your atrocious plans of the nuclear bombing of our country! To accomplish this feat could only socialist country, with a single planned economy, capable of mobilizing in a steel fist all the economic and human resources that only a single Soviet people under the leadership of the Bolshevik Communist Party (Bolsheviks), driven by a smart strategy by Stalin.
How was it? Eyewitness. The fall of 1949 "product" - the atomic bomb was ready for testing. Aug. 26, arrived at the landfill Beria. To this day were collected, two (military and reserve) charge of explosives. Having considered the acts of preparation, IV Kurchatov, in accordance with the personal order of LP Beria, set the time of testing - August 29, 1949, in the 8-00 local time. August 28 sappers spent the last inspection of the tower, prepared to undermine the automatic system and checked the cable line. By 4 o'clock in the morning on Aug. 29 to the tower came KI Shchelkin and SN Matveev machine gun with electric detonators. KI Shchelkin ordered for export "products" from the workshop and installation of the tower. By 5 hours 5 minutes in the morning with an experienced field was evacuated all personnel except the officers of the Ministry of Public Security. By the conclusion of the final operations has been a sharp deterioration in the weather. Flew low over a field of ragged clouds, drawn-out sky. Started to rain. All were on the tower came down. Trailing were AP Zavenyagin and KI Shchelkin, sealed entrance to the tower. To avoid the hassles associated with bad weather, IV Kurchatov with the consent of Beria decided to postpone the time of the blast from 8 to 7 in the morning. During the 25 minutes prior to undermine the seals were removed from the operator's command post and made the connection power system automation, in 20 seconds - included breaker that connected the chain "products" with a system of automatic control. Thereafter, all operations were carried out to undermine automatically. Exactly at 7-00 am on Aug. 29, 1949 the entire area of the Kazakh steppe, the desert was lit up with blinding light ...
Finally! Great work of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the Soviet Union was successfully completed. "Do not forget, we had an important task: as soon as possible to create a weapon that would be able to defend our motherland! When able to solve this problem, we felt relief, even happiness" - so thought the creators of the bomb .
The problem building an atomic bomb emerged even before the war, when in 1939 two German physicist - Hahn and Strassmann discovered nuclear fission chain reaction of uranium with neutrons. And these results were not at all, no secret. Such notifications were published in our press - newspaper "Izvestia". Sama chain reaction (in its chemical form) was opened by Soviet scientists NN Semenov. Soviet scientists in open publications in 1939 and 1940 found conditions of a nuclear explosion, had a reasonable assessment of a critical mass of uranium-235. The secret of the atomic bomb was in the other - who among the belligerent powers, dare to throw the enormous economic and technical resources to the creation of new industries needed to build an atomic bomb, which might give a decisive advantage in war. It was, above all, large-scale national economic problem. Soviet leaders, Stalin, were well aware in the years 1940-1945 and on the problem itself and the actions the US, Germany and England. Thank Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria - under his leadership, strategic intelligence work for the glory! United States began full-scale work on the atomic bomb in 1940, slightly later - Germany, where this research was in charge of Goering. The Soviet Union, the Soviet government in 1941-1943 had to solve only one problem - it has struggled with all his might to destroy Hitler's plans to "blitzkrieg". Stalingrad victory for all the hopes of the Germans in the "blitzkrieg" were dispelled. Now I had to drive Krauts back in their lair ... After Stalingrad, it was possible to renew and pre-war work on the uranium project. February 11, 1943, Stalin signed a government decree on the organization of work on the use of atomic energy for military purposes. Their leader in the 43-45 years was VM Molotov. Against whom was thought at the time of application of the future Soviet nuclear bomb? Of course against our enemy in World War II - Nazi Germany. Even after the war, intelligence, scientific experts have found out with certainty - Germany, despite the excellent research, raw opportunity could not even come close to an atomic bomb!
Americans have a bomb in five years. We tested them in the summer of 1945 and almost immediately had bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Bombay-they nearly defeated Japan, but they were intimidated by the atomic bomb the Soviet Union. To cite two sentences Truman said in his address in 1945: "Russian will soon be put into place," whether we like it or not want, we must recognize that the US won a victory for the American people have entrusted the onus for the continued leadership of the world. "And it was not only a boastful rhetoric. United States were masters of the postwar financial capitalist world.
The Second World War almost without a break into a cold war against socialism. Over the Soviet Union faces the terrible danger! And Stalin reacted immediately. August 20, 1945 at the State Defense Committee (SDC) was set up an interagency committee on the nuclear problem solutions. The head of this committee since its inception until 1953 was Lawrence Pavlovich Beria. And it was far from accidental. Beria was a very intelligent man, with a strong technical acumen, brilliant organizational skills. For merits in development of the Soviet defense industry in 1945 he was awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor. In December 1945 Beria left the post of Commissar of Internal Affairs and moved to the Lubyanka in the Kremlin, the office of Vice-Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars.
Special inter-ministerial committee was unique, without its analogs organization. Main principles: total secrecy, no red tape, speed, pace and once again the pace! From GKO decree: "No organizations, institutions and persons without special permission from GOCO (GCE) have no right to interfere in administrative and economic and operational activities of the First Main Directorate (PGU, executive body of the ad hoc committee), its enterprises and institutions or to require certificates of his work or work carried out under orders of the First Chief Directorate. All accounts of these works is directed only to the Special Committee in T-bills. Organizations PSU was allowed to begin the procedure for any business, any construction, make any order for the equipment without the approved projects and budgets.
Cadres decide everything! And this is taken into account from the outset. Institutions established by the nuclear subject had a priority right set of graduates of any university. This took away those researchers who have been unnecessary. He remembers one of the veterans of Arzamas-16: "... Frankly, I did not want to come here ... But then I did not regretted that he had hit here. Here we saw this level of work - and science and engineering. He was not a bit below ... From the Western ideas, from a completely fresh ideas to how it is implemented and the year wore on.
Well, what was the attitude of the leaders of the program, its participants, to the subordinated-nennym? When one of the leading scientists, does not hide his sympathy for the genetics and dislikes to Lysenko, the security service decided to remove from the facility, the chief designer had to make a call directly to Beria and say that this person does a lot to work. Conversation limited only question that followed after a long pause: "It is you really need?". Receiving an affirmative answer and said: "Well," Beria hung up. The incident was closed. Significantly, another phrase Beria in defense of another party's work: "All the people who work on this project - selected personally by me. I am willing to be responsible for the actions of each of them. These people are working and will work in earnest on the project, which is entrusted to us. "
Of course, for the atomic project closely watched himself Stalin. Safeguard the personal records Kurchatov made to them after hours of meetings with Stalin in the evening on Jan. 25, 1946. In an interview attended by only Molotov and Beria. During the conversation, Stalin advised not to engage in small-scale work or look for cheap ways. Stressed the need to act "broadly, with Russian sweep, that in this respect will render every possible assistance. Stalin remarked that our scientists are very modest people and sometimes do not notice that they are living badly. Record of the Kurchatov:" with respect to the scientists, Stalin was concerned about the idea, as it were ... to help them in the material for domestic and prizes for great things, for example, the solution to our problem ... was asked to write about events that were would be needed to expedite the work, all you need. All you need is truly a country. There was a time when the Soviet Union a few months it was impossible to buy a medical thermometer - the subject of the most basic necessities. Why? Nuclear workers needed mercury, a lot of mercury! They gave all! The atomic bomb was created in the Soviet Union, devastated by war with the Nazis for four years!
The first Soviet atomic bomb had a name of RDS-1. The name was conditional, but his people have deciphered by its: DSE - a rocket engine Stalin! Two months after the explosion of the first atomic bomb came Closed Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of 29 October 1949, signed by Stalin. Several participants especially distinguished work has been awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor, awarded. To work on the nuclear issue was attracted the cream of Soviet science: physicists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, geologists, metallurgists, etc. In a literal sense it was a great victory for the entire Soviet people! All worked for their common motherland - the Soviet Union. They were people of very many nationalities.
Since the H-bomb, Soviet scientists have not caught up and beat the Americans, having suffered on Aug. 12, 1953 real hydrogen charge, ready for use as a bomb. Soviet nuclear industry and science have been steadily developing. Improved themselves nuclear warheads and their delivery systems and options. Studied and peaceful occupation of a nuclear explosion: the taming of the gas fountains, the establishment of underground storages, artificial reservoirs and much more.
For all the importance of technical achievements of the Soviet Union in the field of mastering nuclear energy, it is important to understand that the establishment of nuclear-missile shield was the most important component of Soviet policy in the struggle for peace, conflict misanthropic intentions of US imperialism and its allies started the cold war which divided the newly liberated Europe from the Nazis on the principle of belonging or not belonging to NATO - the block, created by them in 1949.
Back in June 1946. Soviet delegation at the UN Commission on Atomic Energy submitted a draft International Convention on the Prohibition of the production and use of weapons, based approach based on the use of atomic energy for mass destruction ", which of course was voted down a docile pro-American majority. Americans needed something quite different. In November 1948, US President Harry Truman approves the plan of the Joint Chiefs of the Armed Forces of the US nuclear war against the Soviet Union ( "Plan Pincher"), which would hit 70 atomic bombs on 50 cities of the Soviet Union, including Moscow and Leningrad. May 1955. No positive reaction of Appeal left the Soviet Union to all nuclear-weapon States with a proposal to enter into commitments to stop nuclear testing. Only when it was made clear and universally recognized nuclear parity the US and the USSR, when American politicians realize this objective reality, the inability to change it in any way, made possible efforts to reduce nuclear dangers, to reduce the age of giant size of the stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Perhaps you can begin the countdown to May 26, 1972, when the Soviet Union and the United States signed a set of agreements, known as the Treaty on Strategic Arms Limitation (SALT-1), which included: an agreement on measures to reduce the risk of nuclear war, the Treaty on Limitation of ABM systems, the Interim Agreement on certain measures in limiting strategic offensive arms, the Protocol to the Treaty on the Limitation of ABM systems. However, not everything went smoothly. United States violated the ABM treaty, handing the territory of Norway radar Globus-2, tested as part of missile defense. June 12, 2002 the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the ABM Treaty. June 18, 1979 between the USSR and the United States signed a set of agreements, known as SALT-2 treaty, which included: the Treaty on the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, the Protocol to the Treaty on the limitation of strategic offensive arms, the joint statement of principles and main directions of further negotiations on limiting strategic arms. The Treaty was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. Nevertheless, its provisions are respected by both parties. Treaty on the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START-1) signed on July 30-31, 1991 in Moscow, entered into force on 5 December 1994 - a few years after the collapse of the USSR. Validity of the START-1 expires on December 5, 2009. Under the treaty the Soviet Union and the United States should have been for 7 years to reduce their nuclear arsenals, so that each side remained no more than 6 thousand nuclear warheads. In fulfilling this contract, there were about 10 serious violations committed by the United States. In particular, nuclear warheads and second stages are not disposed of them, and stockpiled due to what has been created "breakout potential". Treaty on Further Reduction of Strategic Offensive Arms (START-2), was signed on January 3, 1993. The agreement prohibits the use of ballistic missiles with multiple warheads. In response to the output 14 June 2002 the U.S. from the ABM treaty of 1972 Russia withdrew from START-2. Treaty on Strategic Offensive Reductions (Moscow Treaty) was signed in Moscow on May 24, 2002 between Russia and the United States of America. Terms of the contract limited the number of nuclear warheads, standing on duty until 1700-2200 for each party. The Moscow Treaty entered into force on 1 June 2003, will expire on December 31, 2012.
At the present time, in 2009, Russia faces the most difficult question - what kind of policy to hold on to nuclear arms reduction, how to respond to the recent proposals by Obama to further sharp (at times) the reduction of nuclear weapons. Time for a long time and clearly shows the absurdity of the theses advocated the so-called "democracy": the "Democratic Russia" no enemies! America - our best friend! The modern world was far tougher and more complicated than imagined, and tried to convince others of these "democrats".
For the United States is now subject of nuclear disarmament a win-win. U.S. has an enormous superiority in arms over all potential adversaries and, perhaps, over all potential adversaries combined, not to mention specifically about Russia. This superiority gives America an advantage to reducing nuclear arsenals, increasing its military and strategic superiority. In this situation, Russia falls into a trap. Denial of disarmament could harm Russia's international reputation. And if Russia agrees, it would seriously weaken the country's nuclear shield, which is, in fact, the only guarantee of nonaggression against Russia by the strong (?) Military powers.
In today's ruthless world is nuclear forces are a stabilizing political factor. Negotiations on a purely nuclear disarmament is virtually meaningless, and for Russia in any case, losing, if they (explicitly or implicitly) does not take into account the almost complete collapse of the former Soviet Army, the dire situation it with conventional weapons, the need to consider the total balance of nuclear and conventional (in particular - high) weapons.
In conclusion we can say - the nuclear weapons were until 1991, is now the most reliable guarantor of the sovereignty and independence of our country in the face of a powerful bloc of bourgeois states, led by the United States, under the continuous increase of military expenditure, the establishment and improvement of new types of offensive weapons (such as conventional and nuclear), the insistence of a global dictatorship in the current unipolar world.

The labor movement and our tasks

In the face of strong economic crisis that swept the country since last fall, going further establishment and development is still weak, localized and unorganized labor movement.
The labor movement, having experienced a wave of his birth and growth in the 90's. When there was a barrage of collapse of production as a result of the restoration of capitalism, and a little priutihnuv during Putin's reign in terms of "economic growth" (or rather - on paper) since 2005. and especially in the economic crisis once again booming.
In essence, the economic crisis in the country and did not stop, since the 90's. And today he broke out with renewed vigor, seeking our industry and taking a threatening nature. This spring, he can reach a critical point.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, industrial production in Russia in the first half decreased by 14,8% compared to the same period last year. The volume of production in manufacturing industries decreased by 21,3%. In a strong decline of metallurgy and machine building. Production of rolled ferrous metals declined by 27%, steel pipes - by 30,3%.
Manufacture of machine tools dropped by 62.4%, processing equipment - 63,7%, electric motors - to 68,3%. Production of passenger cars fell by 60%, trucks - by 72,5%, buses - on 63,5%.
Even the primary sector, defining the tone of Russia's economy in crisis. Gas production decreased by 20,8%, coal - by 15.1%, iron ore - by 20,8%, and only at the same level stored oil.
The construction industry is in deep decline, 80% of sites are frozen.
These dismal official statistics. Businesses are closed and the workers remain without work or transferred to part-time job. And as a result - the rise of the working motion.
However, the majority of employees responding to the crisis poorly, as well as on continuous violations of labor laws, which are the capitalists to maintain their profits. Mass labor movement in the country is not even in the ever deepening crisis.
The vast majority of the shares of workers located in different enterprises and pass spontaneously, without the organizing role of trade unions and Communists, demanding repayment of debts on wages in the form of separate strikes - a collective refusal to work and stop production.
Working mainly fighting for their immediate economic demands - notably the payment of salary arrears, which in times of crisis is not paid for months and even more than six months. Here we are talking about survival, that pushes workers to protest.
However, the crisis has made new in the struggle of the working class, expanding its boundaries, methods and slogans of the struggle, pushing the workers to realize the necessity of political struggle.
With an ever-increasing bankruptcies of industrial workers are now not only require payment of arrears of wages. One of the main slogans of labor collectives today - saving the company. At a time when venture capitalists are throwing and working group to fend for themselves, to save their profits and capital, workers are demanding the restoration and preservation of the enterprise workforce. The workers also oppose the move to part-time staff reductions and salary.
There are cases, though isolated, when workers demand transparency in financial activity and even create organs of workers' control. Thus, at a meeting of labor collective Baranchinskii Electromechanical Plant, faced bankruptcy, the workers in the presence of "Elektroprofsoyuza" discussed the situation in the city main factory, where wages are not given since last year, and created a council working group, which will monitor the movement of money assets.
The workers also put forward the slogan of nationalization of enterprises, transfer it to the state. This shows the political, though still faint glimmer in the minds of workers.
The working class, which is coming to a crisis with the harsh realities of capitalist exploitation and appalling callousness to the needs of people from the owners, as well as their indifference to the fate of the enterprise, is beginning to understand the worth of all the talk about "efficiency" glorified now private property.
Today, workers demand the nationalization of the company is no longer an isolated phenomenon. Thus, on August 6 in Togliatti was organized by the union "Unity" rally the workers of AvtoVAZ, which in its resolution demanded the nationalization of enterprises and workers' control over its financial and economic activities. Demanding the nationalization of the enterprise, - and though it is a modern, bourgeois state - the working class intuitively drawn to the ideas of socialism, realizing the futility of forcibly imposed on them capitalism.
The popularity of the slogan of nationalization of enterprises among the broad masses of evidence and information of the sociological survey. Thus, citizens are more likely to point to the need for nationalization of private enterprises to overcome the crisis: in October 2008. a position held 58% of respondents (28% - completely agree, 30% - rather agree), but now this idea approves 82% (44% and 38% respectively). At the same time it became less of those who opposed the nationalization of enterprises: only 7% against 20% in October last year.
Also changed the form and methods of struggle of the workers. Along with the strike of the workers were increasingly resorting to street actions - rallies and pickets, address their requirements are and to the authorities. It also demonstrates the politicization of the labor movement. However, the rallies, as well as strikes, located either within an enterprise, or a city and usually take place with economic demands - repayment of debts on wages, maintain the enterprise and, in some cases - its nationalization.
Overlapping routes or threat of overlap - Today in the crisis have become desperate for workers in the most effective tool to protect their labor rights. Example Pikalevo when, after closing the employees of city-forming enterprises of the city of the federal highway Putin came to them and then found the money to repay debts on wages, and was re-work enterprises, was instructive for workers in other cities. Employees LLC "ATZ-parts", Bogdanovichskogo Porcelain Factory, ZAO "Magistral" and other companies in the country were threatened and even attempted to overlapping federal highways. And these actions have a strong impact on power - the company partly restored, and the debts are repaid, with the power to take the obligations themselves.
However, despite the fact that new forms and methods of struggle of the workers, in general, and here the labor movement retains its backwardness. Thus, the most common form of workers' struggle today is hunger - ineffective means of control, besides the dangerous and unhealthy working, and if the workers resorted to strike action, it is usually in the form of individual non-work (carried out collectively ) or form of spontaneous strikes.
Labor conflicts randomly, spontaneously, and break out locally, but do not develop into a mass movement.
And most importantly - is that the workers are far not risen to the awareness of the necessity of political struggle to establish the power of the working class, fighting mainly for survival.
Today we are in terms of weakness and at the same time the growth of the labor movement and the deepening economic crisis that must be taken in the regions following the minimum steps necessary to establish a connection with the labor movement:
- To track the situation in the labor movement of this region (city, region) and in the country as a whole, noticing where the place of the workers, and to provide organizational, methodological, informational, moral and other support, especially in the organization of strikes;
- Establish contact with active workers, especially young, union leaders and through them to study the situation in the company, to distribute our press, to recruit them into the ranks of our supporters and sympathizers in the ranks of the party;
- Establish a distribution network of our central Party newspapers, regional newspapers, massive flyers in enterprises, among labor groups, the actions of workers;
- Work with trade unions as an alternative, and with shmakovskimi - grassroots cells, providing them with selfless support in their struggle for workers' rights;
- To help the workers or by organizing protests or actions of solidarity with the struggling labor collectives in the form of pickets and rallies.
This minimum problem. Today the main reason for the weakness of the working class - in the absence of communication with the working of the communist movement and the trade union movement.
Our Party has a good experience of the regional work with the working class, who need to study and move to other regions. Thus, in Novosibirsk we are working with an alternative union "Siberian regional trade union center, with a number of grass-roots trade union organizations shmakovskih unions, providing them with organizational and information support; arrangements for the publication and distribution network of major industrial enterprises in the city, together with trade unions and left-wing organizations and parties affiliated Action in Solidarity Committee of Novosibirsk, the regular union newspaper for labor rights! ", with our support, the Legal Center" Protection "in Novosibirsk open hotline to provide free legal advice workers for violations of their labor rights and more, helping workers to organize holding rallies in support of their demands, such as working LLC PO yuniOneks, and others, monitor the situation in the labor movement, take part in all actions of the workers and trade unions, providing them with moral and political support, and distributed to participants of the rally, our party newspapers, leaflets; provide regular informational support to the workers periodically publishing in the newspaper with the Labor Law, "and on the Internet information about the shares of workers, the situation in the labor movement and in large enterprises of the city and region, etc.
The weakness of the labor movement is caused by both objective and subjective factors, as has repeatedly been said in our party documents and printing. The main factor - is the lack of an organizing role of vanguard vanguard of the working class - the Communist Party must unite natural action of the working class for their vital interests in an organized struggle, ranging from the fight in the enterprise and in the region and to the organization of a general political strike, and raise it to the level of political power struggle - the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Without this victory of the socialist revolution is impossible.
