Our Policies Are the Most Just, but Our Propaganda Methods Are the Most Draconian
An anonymous letter from S. F. Levin to the Central Committee. March 1956.
We Soviet patriots demand that the shameful, barbaric practice of jamming foreign stations be ended. This iron curtain cutting off live radio was created by bloody Stalin, who was more afraid of truth than of anything on earth.
You stand for peace and international cooperation, but you still don’t lift this iron curtain. Are you afraid of the truth too? But the truth still reaches the people, and the people are gradually losing trust in you. Or are you afraid of the bad influence that Western propaganda could have on the people? But an old bird is not caught with chaff—our people are not children. Even a quarter of a century of the Stalinist circus did not fool them.
Lenin was not afraid of criticism, wherever it came from. He even used Averchenko’s wicked satire to benefit the Soviet state. Lenin loved the people and believed in them. But the narrow-minded Stalinist dictatorship despised and feared the people.
Our country is the best, our ideas are the most progressive, our policies are the most just, but our propaganda methods are the most draconian, most demagogical, and most false. It’s appalling!
