On November 6, 1941, Stalin addressed the Soviet people with a speech by Commander-in-Chief General I.V. Stalin's speech, which caused a great patriotic surge in the country, was delivered at a solemn meeting held at the Mayakovskaya metro station of the Moscow Metro. "Moscow is talking! We present the festive meeting of the Moscow Council... "- heard throughout the country. This was Stalin's first major speech after July 3, 1941, in which the famous "brothers and sisters" were heard. Stalin said that the Nazis came to destroy the Soviet people, and descended to the level of animals. He noted the high spirit of the Soviet soldiers and spoke of the prospect of creating a coalition against Hitler in the fight against the Nazis. The Supreme's speech inspired the people. Many rallies were held throughout the country, which ended with the statement: "Our people will give everything for the front, everything to defeat the enemy." The next day, November 7, 1941, in the direction of Stalin, a traditional military parade was held in Red Square. Few people know that on that day the parade took place in Koivishev, where all the diplomatic missions were evacuated. An unprecedented patriotic uprising and reinforcements from the east of the country did their job. The Nazis were halted at the walls of Moscow and pushed back by the December counteroffensive, taking the first major step toward defeating the enemy. Nikolay Starikov at MAX.
