A group of Communist Party lawmakers is pushing for a
nationalization drive in a bid to boost the Russian economy and
strengthen national security.
In a draft document sent
to the State Duma and published on the Russian parliament’s website on
Wednesday, the group describes nationalization as a forced but
compensated confiscation of private property. It says that turning
assets over to the federal state would help meet public needs, increase
the general effectiveness and social orientation of the national
economy, and strengthen Russia’s national security and sovereignty.The list of assets that would be subject to nationalization include land plots, mineral deposits, forests, natural bodies of water, and enterprises in strategically important branches of the economy, such as energy, transport and heavy industry.
Other grounds for forced nationalization include the threat of mass personnel layoffs in companies that control major parts of the economy in a city or a region, the bankruptcy of a strategically important enterprise, a monopoly position of a company, violations committed during privatization, and the potential threat of strategically important enterprises falling under foreign control.
The bill reads that nationalization would be applied to any form of private property, including shares in various companies.

Nationalization has always been a key issue in the political program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. It was also a cornerstone of the anti-crisis plan presented by party leader Gennady Zyuganov in 2016 as the platform for the parliamentary elections. Back then, Zyuganov said that privatization was absolutely essential for increasing budget revenues and preventing the outflow of hard currency from the country.
The presidential program of Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin also lists privatization of major enterprises as a key condition for future prosperity. “Our priority will be the prosperity of the general public… we will make Russia’s riches, its natural, industrial and financial resources serve its people; we will nationalize strategically important and systemic industries, the power sector, railways, communications systems and leading banks,” the document reads.
Israeli newspaper: We mustn't forget that some of the greatest murderers in modern times were Jewish, particularly those in Stalin's Russia
Genrikh Yagoda
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those
holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of
Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the
next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University
convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as
a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of
evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic
ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by
modern history.
Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago,
between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the
Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for
the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for
Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest
state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed
every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD,
and later to KGB.
We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible
for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20
million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger,
large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at
Gulags.
Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers,
ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers,
intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members"
who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the
Communist party itself.
In his new, highly praised book The War of the World, historian
Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind
devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the
Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv
University's Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique
in that it was directed internally.
Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their
deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials,"
cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts,
and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western
Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided
it with a kosher certificate.
All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though
the former Soviet Union's archives have not yet been fully opened to the
public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few people
have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD's and KGB's
service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the
question of "How could it have happened to us?" As opposed to Eastern
European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their
Stalinist past.
And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever
hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the
20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander
of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization
orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people.
His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After
Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed,
and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty
dwarf."
Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his
Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore
writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist
killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by
beautiful, young Jewish women.
Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central
Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him
as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in
Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of humankind - aside
from the Nazi horrors and Mao's terror in China - did not move
Kaganovich.
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and
have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more:
Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the
organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those
holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of
Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the
next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University
convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as
a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of
evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic
ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by
modern history.
The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet
Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously,
as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people."
Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What
do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is
different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a
member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not
considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.
Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of "our hangmen,"
who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its
establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.
