But even now, after the greatest victory known to history we cannot for one minute forget the basic fact that our country remains the one socialist state in the world.

If you are called upon to govern humans, treat them humanely.

The Jews will become socialist colonisers with strong fists and sharp teeth, a strong national group within the Soviet family of nations.

You must remember that we persecute nobody for religion. We regard religion as an error and fight it with education.

The whole history of my life, and in essence the whole history of the working class consists of this: that we have lived and fought under the leadership of Lenin and Stalin.
