Transcript | SOVIET UNION 21 this struggle, because they are themselves creating the new life, they value the Soviet Union so highly. When there were rumours of war, when the international situation became tense and the danger of war threatened, the feeling of the masses was unanimous. Nobody in our country wants war, for everybody knows what an atrocious waste of human life, human strength, wealth and culture war is. There is nobody in our country who desires war, but everybody, great and small, is well aware that, in the event of war, all would rise as one man to defend the Socialist Soviet Union. This organisation of the masses, this political consciousness growing from year to year, arouses in every worker in our union the firm belief that, however great may be the technical progress of the imperialist States, we have a mighty force with which to oppose them : the strength of the organised masses. When, in 1919, I was travelling on the S.S. " Red Star," there was a meeting of Red soldiers and one of them, a peasant, said : Our republic is unconquerable because of its size. Of course, that statement as it stands is clumsy, but the underlying idea is correct. The extent, the growth, the qualities of our country are tremendous. But we must add, our country is unconquerable because it is fighting for a great cause, a cause dear to the heart of the world working class. Every worker in every country realises that we have common aims, great tasks which can only be accomplished by the concentration and organisation of all our forces. |
