"For many years Stalin had occupied the position of a God in Russia. His dedication to the ideals of Marxism-Leninism, his vision, his military genius, his infallibility-- had been a constant theme of self congratulation by the society over which he presided. This reverence had extended beyond the borders of Russia. Communists and communist sympathizers all over the world shared it. In wide circles, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Abraham Lincoln were equated as liberators of mankind." ~ Louis J. Halle, Author of The Cold War as History |
