The Soviet Republic achieved victory against the\nhordes of interventionists and White Guards because the Red Army's\nguiding core, its force and its sun, was the Party of Lenin-Stalin, strong\nin its unity and cohesiveness, unsurpassed in its ability to organize the\nmasses of millions of people.\n\"If Russia withstood the pressure of world imperialism, If Comrade\nStalin said in 1921, \"if she won a series of most important victories on\nforeign fronts, if in a period of 2 or 3 years she developed a force which\nshook the very foundations of world imperialism, she owes all this, among\nother factors, to the Communist Party-united, tested in battle, and forged\nout of hard steel, the Party which never strove to increase the number of its\nmembers, but rather considered an improvement in their quality as its\nprimary concern.\"\nAlready in the first years of its existence, the Soviet State demon-\nstrated immense moral and political strength, firmness, and stability, although\nin technology and economy our country was then still backward and weak as\ncompared with the more powerful capitalist states.\nSumming up the results of the road covered by the Party and the Soviet\nState, Lenin stated at the Party's Eleventh Congress: \"What has been won\nby the Russian revolution is inalienable; no power can take it away just as\nno power in the world can take back what has been created by the Soviet State.\nIt is an historic victory.\"\nIn his last speech at the plenary session of the Moscow Council, Lenin\nsaid with the greatest confidence that Socialism was no longer a question of\nthe remote future, and that our Party would be able to lead the people to the\nvictory of Socialism.\nUnder the leadership of Lenin and Stalin, the Party has successfully\nmanaged to make such a sharp turn in its policy as the transition from the\npolicy of militant Communism to the New Economic Policy, the policy of\nutilizing market relations calculated to consolidate the union of workers"
