In the cultural centre of Stalin in the Russian town of Barnauł, an event was announced, which will take place there in a fewer days. It's about a spiritual séance, during which the gathered will evoke Stalin's spirit.
With their crimes committed in Ukraine, the Russians already evoke the spirit of the author of the top genocides. Now they will confirm this with a ritual that God calls the top abomination. Of course, the séance is not advertised as a "heavy sin", but as a "reconstruction of the spirit session" to evoke Stalin's spirit. "We are planning specified a reconstruction like a communicative titled Seans spiritist author Mikhail Afanasievich Bulhakov. It is in the kind of the 1930s, the Stalinist years, in this environment and in this kind we want to carry out this event," said Russian news agency TASS Sergey Matasov, manager of the Stalin Centre.
There is, however, a difference, due to the fact that in Bulhakov's story, the souls of Napoleon and Socrates are recalled, who powerfully criticize the russian system, namely Stalin. Therefore, Bulhakov would most likely not be pleased with specified a “rework” of his work. Mikhail Bulhakov in his works, especially in “Master and Margaret” in a mockery but besides fatally serious portrayed the diabolical face of criminal communism. However, Sergei Matasov claims that he, as manager and staff of the facility, wants the Stalinist Center to become a bastion of Stalinism in Russia and receive the position of a national institution.
The city of Barnabas is in Siberia. During Stalinist times there was a cruel prison in which opponents of communism were murdered. Walentyna Marszałek, who, as a young girl, was taken distant with her parents - the landowners, for a cathartic visit to Barnabas, recalls her time in prison there: “They took me to a dungeon. It was very dark and cold, just awful. They started hitting me and kicking me. 1 of them stabbed me with a dagger in my abdomen, so that I inactive have a scar right here today. I remember wearing a muffin that saved my life at the time due to the fact that it protected my stomach. I inactive don't remember anything. All I know from Mom's stories is that they fed me feces there, and erstwhile I was completely unconscious, they threw me out for 50 degrees cold. 1 of them called Mom and it saved my life.”
That's the spirit they'll be calling at the Stalin Center. And this is not the only tragic memory of the Marshal from her stay in the city of Barnaul. "To this day I can see the streets where the crippled Russians were begging. Without hands, without legs, their destiny was in the hands of strangers. No 1 cared about them, for the USSR even russian citizens were meaningless, let alone us – deported Poles" - recalls Mrs. Valentina with pain.
In Russia, the process of refilling public space with communist monuments has been ongoing for respective years. The last part of the alleged Alley of the Rulers of Russia opened in Moscow. It had previously set the “head” of the Tsars of Russia. The bust of “rulers” of 20th-century Russia has now been added. Their series opens Lenin and Stalin. There is besides a commemoration of another rulers of the USSR – Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Czernienka and Gorbachev. At the busts, among others, Lenin and Stalin, students of Moscow schools take lessons in a false history.
Years later, the Museum of Feliks Dzierżyński, 1 of the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, was opened in Kaj, Russia, the creator of the communist panic apparatus, as well as the head of the first russian safety called – Waiting, liable for killing hundreds of thousands of people. On the another hand, the Stalin Center in Barnauł, where they will summon Stalin's spirit, was created only a year ago by the Communist organization of Russia.
