"Without collectivization and industrialization of the Soviet Union would have been destroyed during of World War II"
An interview with Alexander Sinowjew
>
Q: They lived with family in the country at the time of
collectivization. As you have seen the nationalization? How do you
assess it today?
A: One must distinguish two different
pages in my position. My personal views on various events and the
results of my scientific work. Our village is completely gone. If we
consider only the collectivization of this point of view, then we can
say that collectivization was a crime or a mistake. But you must pull
the whole situation in the country considered. The industry needed
workers. The country needed not only to workers, it took doctors,
teachers, engineers, officers, etc. Without collectivization would have
been impossible to get as many people for the development of the
country. We have lost everything in the country. And our family has left
the country. But I became a professor. My brother was a colonel. My
older brother, a director of a factory. Another of my brothers were
engineers, etc. Many millions of Russian families have so through a
development. For many millions of families, therefore, the Revolution
was our revolution. The Stalinist period was obviously a great tragedy.
But at the same time those years were the best years in Soviet history.
You can not understand in what conditions we lived. Our family lived in a
room of 10 sqm. And in this room we lived to eight, sometimes down to
ten men. And we were happy. Why? We visited the school. Everything was
for us, the whole culture was open to us. |
