LENIN ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS
BY PAVEL POSPELOV
DIRECTOR OF THE MARX-ENGELS-LENIN INSTITUTE
INTRODUCTION: Pavel Pospelov, speaking on the 28th anniversary of the death of
Lenin, this year directed his attention to Asia, where, he declared, the "colonial
capitalist powers" who for centuries "have been sowing the discontent of the
peoples of Asia by their rapacious, oppressive policy," are now "reaping storms
and tempests." In his anniversary speech last year Pospelov, while attacking
"American imperialism" as the leading force in the "camp of the instigators of
war," and accusing the United States of "unleashing a bloody aggression against
the peaceful Korean people," concentrated his main attention on what he called
the role of the United States as the historical enemy of the Soviet Revolution.
In this 1951 speech Pospelov quoted extensively from the fourth edition of
Lenin's works, completed by the 27th anniversary of Lenin's death, which, he said,
"extensively showed the role of American imperialism as active organizer and in-
spirer of the military intervention against young Russia during the first years
of her existence."
Concurrently, the Satellite radios are echoing Pospelov's 1952 contention
that it is impossible to suppress by force the "mighty national liberation move-
ments of the peoples of Asia. If Speaking over the Albanian radio on 21 January
1952, Fikrete Shehu of the Workers' Party noted the fight against "imperialism"
being waged by Vietnam, Germany, and Malaya. Hungarian Minister of Justice Erik
Molnar, delivering the Lenin anniversary address in Budapest, said that Lenin had
said: "Without the liberation of the peoples of the colonies and dependencies,
imperialist capitalism cannot be defeated." Molnar stated that the liberation of
the colonial peoples is an "historical necessity. Colonial peoples must solve
this problem and they cannot solve it unless they are led by the proletariat. II
He listed the progress of the "liberation struggle" in China, Burma, Indochina,
Indonesia, Malaya, the Philippines, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, adding that
"during the past 12 months the Arab and Moslem world has also been set in motion."
Following is the full text of Pospelov's address.
