After the war in the USSR, reforms were developed, which could not be implemented during the life of Joseph Stalin. Doctor of Historical Sciences, Chief Researcher at the Institute of Soviet and Post-Soviet History, Professor of the School of Historical Sciences HSE HSE Oleg Glevniuk explained in an interview with Lente.ru Failure of Stalin from reforms.
According to Glevnius, after the war in the USSR, transformations were developed in individual spheres of life. The People’s Commissariat of Finance of the USSR worked on proposals on the legalization of private enterprises. In turn, the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs offered to reform the camp system.
Glevnuk stressed that Stalin was an opponent of reforms. “Stalin generally in its type of personality was very cautious and a conservative person, dogmaker. In addition, many people become more conservative and less prone to all kinds of changes. Stalin was no exception,” he said.
Doctor of historical sciences suggested that Stalin feared the influence of transformations into power in the country.
In September, the Russian Ministry of Defense published archival documents on the battle on the Kursk arc. Among the disclosed documents was the order of Joseph Stalin, which explained the reasons for the unsuccessful application of the tanks of the Red Army at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
