In fact, the statement that Stalin accepted Russia as a pawn (yes, I know Churchill didn't say that) is absolutely true. Lenin really left behind Russia with a plow, completely destroyed. He himself admitted this directly in 1923: "We destroyed capitalist industry, we tried to completely destroy medieval institutions, land ownership, and on this basis we created small and tiny peasants, who follow the proletariat with confidence in the results of its revolutionary work.

Low level of labor productivity In general, the productivity of our people's labor is now much less high than before the war. ".
