    "ocrText": "Comrades, the peoples of the Soviet Union today celebrate the 34th\nanniversary of the great October Revolution, illuminated by the genius of\nLenin who has opened to mankind the path to a new socialist world. Every\nyear of progress along this path brings new successes to our country.\nAll activities of the Bolshevik Party and of the Soviet Government\nduring the period between the 33rd and 34th anniversaries of the October\nRevolution, and in all the years which have elapsed since the death of\nthe great Lenin, have taken place under the wise guidance of our leader,\nComrade Stalin.\nWith the foresight of a genius, Comrade Stalin guides the Party and\npeople in the most complicated events of domestic and international life,\noutlining the prospects of further development. Comrade Stalin's inex-\nhaustible energy in his daily leadership of big as well as small affairs,\nand his skill in determining the major tasks of the Soviet State and in\ndirecting all our strength toward their solution, insures to the peoples\nof the Soviet Union great victories in the building of Communism.\n(applause)\nLast year, 1950, was the year in which the first postwar Five-Year\nPlan was completed. The Soviet people and our friends abroad learned\nwith delight about the successful fulfillment of the Five-Year Plan for\nthe restoration and development of the Soviet economy, for the realization\nof which our people had to fight under the difficult conditions of healing\nthe heavy wounds inflicted by the war.\nThis is undoubtedly a new and great victory for the Soviet people,\nas a result of which the might of our socialist state has increased\nstill more. The successes of our peaceful building have resulted in a\nfurther rise in the workers' material and cultural standards of living."
