Forecasts and results of the Communist experiment.

I work at plant and consequently I have a little free time for work on the Internet. Work at plant gives me money for  life, purchase of the new computer and payment of the house Internet. Procedure of translation from Russian into English and back takes away from me a lot of time too. Besides, I am engaged not only answers in discussions at several American forums, but also I translate from Russian into English the new my articles. For example, I translate now the article about results of my sociometric researches at school on purpose to help teachers to put things in order at a lesson. This article will be the answer to your letter to me. Besides, I plan to translate the articles about social formations, the forms of government, political regimes and Russian way of development of society. Therefore I ask me to excuse for delays with my answers.

  I consider myself not as the historian, but I am sociologist and psychologist therefore I have no desire to spend the time for studying of primary sources on history and economy of the Russian Empire. Russia aspired to catch up with the West in technical, military, economic and political development since the beginning 17 century  under russian emperor Peter 1. Russia lagged behind not strongly from Western Europe in this development.  Military victories of Russia over some countries the West serve as the proof of it, for example military victories over Poland, Sweden, France and Prussia . The victoryin war   served as criterion of degree of development of the country always. Russia lost the Crimean war against Britain and France because Russian army  lagged only for a second behind in weapon development (allies had military steamships, the railways instead of horse vehicles, the cut weapon and revolvers instead of the smooth-bore weapon).

In the first, Bolsheviks constructed plants which made machines of poor quality in Russia, it was impossible to sell these  machines in the world market. Then why these plants were necessary? Many of these plants were ruined, were closed and destroyed for the last 20 years. For example, the automobile plant of a name of Likhachyov was almost closed in Moscow. It is possible to give very much by similar examples. It is possible to build the plants, capable to made competitive production only under capitalism.

Secondly, many these plants, channels, hydroelectric power stations and the railways were constructed by hands of prisoners, and the prison slave labor  was inefficient always. For example, the channel from the White sea to the Baltic Sea was constructed  by hands of prisoners by means of a shovel and a wheelbarrow, without use of excavators and lorries. There was such joke that 10 prisoners with shovels and 1 security guard with a rifle replace the excavator. This channel is constructed on bones of prisoners. One teacher of a German nationality by family name of Rommel had told me that her father together other sent Germans built paper plant in the city Solikamsk, the sent Germans dug  trenches in the winter under the foundations  of shops by means of shovels and wheelbarrows. The father of this teacher could  survive by means of profession change, it passed from navvies in turners.

The organization of collective farms is a full nonsense of tyrant Stalin, this campaign led to destruction of the most effective export branch of an economy of Russia, to hunger in Russia. My great-grandfather rich peasant Alexander Starikov was plundered by communists at that time.

Big terror  decapitated Red army in 1937-1938 on the eve of war. Big terror and the Moscow processes brought to destruction of almost all Soviet skilled officers and generals before the war with Germany in 1941. As a result of 5 million Soviet soldiers was taken prisoner during 1941-1948. My grandfather Trifon Mokshin was lost in an environment under the city Bryansk at this time.  

   We consider today unacceptable such way of development of Russia.
