Stalin’s Popular Backing Cited By Soviet Leaders
The Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party released a six thousand word statement defending Joseph Stalin. It argued his late postwar popularity protected him from ouster, blamed Western slander for accusations, and said many of his crimes were only revealed after his death. The document says action against Stalin would have torn party unity and was misinterpreted by foreign communists. It notes Beria’s later exposure as part of posthumous clarifications while denying a cult of personality.
