| Transcript | THE NEW PHASE IN THE SOVIET UNION. My task is to deal with questions of the internal situation in the U.S.S.R. I shall therefore spend very little time on the international situation and our foreign policy. I shall only point out that events in the mutual relations between the U.S.S.R. and the capitalist countries are bound to be linked up most intimately with the internal situation in the Soviet Union. I may illustrate this linking up by two groups of facts. In the first group fall such events as the change in relations between Great Britain and the U.S.S.R. and the conflict on the Chinese Eastern Railway. In both cases, as you are aware, the U.S.S.R. emerged the victor. The MacDonald Government was forced to disavow the action of the Conservatives in breaking off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union in 1927. The resumption of relations which had been broken off on the initiative of Great Britain cannot but be recognised as a very great success for us. It is equally well known that the dispute on the Chinese Eastern Railway was also not settled in favour of those who began the provocation in the Far East. The Chinese landlords and capitalists and the imperialist forces backing them, who attempted to seize the C.E.R., were taught a severe lesson. They found themselves obliged to sound a retreat. Thus in the Far East also we demonstrated the growing strength and importance of the Soviet Union in international affairs. This is one group of facts characteristic of our successes on the international field. On the other hand, and particularly recently, we find new attempts by the capitalist countries to increase their attacks against the U.S.S.R. Our international successes are the result of the internal consolidation of our country; and the newly-intensified anti-soviet campaign in Europe and America cannot be considered apart from this circumstance either. It is the internal consolidation of the Proletarian State that excites the ire of the capitalists of the whole world, and prompts the ruling cliques in the capitalist countries towards new -steps in the preparation of military intervention. Recently the anti-soviet campaign abroad has developed most extensively in connection with the question of religion. All the forces of bourgeois reaction and Russian emigrant counterrevolution, with the active sympathy and support of the social democrats in every country, are engaged in a furious drive against the U.S.S.R. on this pretext—in reality, first and foremost, on |
