Sounds absolutely fascinating. I can't think of any more crucial topic, particularly in Russia, at this time. Will the discussion include analyses of other relationships between leaders and masses, like Mussolini and the Italian masses, FDR and the US masses, Vargas and the Brazilian masses, Mao and the Chinese masses, Sukarno and the Indonesian masses, Sihanouk and the Cambodian masses, Hitler and the German masses? And let us not omit the Pope [any pope] and the Catholic Masses.
Has it really been 130 years? It seems just like yesterday to me. Gosh, how time flies... ----- Original Message ----- From: "lara crete" <laracr...@verizon.net> To: "David Schanoes" <sartes...@earthlink.net> Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2009 10:20 AM Subject: [Marxism] Conference in Moscow. Please, post Dear Louis, I am still not in the List and have a problem to post anything as well. I communicated with Les and he kindly sent to me all the issues of List's digest since September 16, since I was out of the system. I think that the information which I have might be interesting either for the Marxmail List or for the Soviet_Legacy members. Would you help me to post it, of you'll find it interesting ? On the List would be better, for it came to me in Russian and Spanish. I will send to you in Spanish, but if you need, I will translated the Russian into English, what will should reach even the broader audience. The title of Conference is: The Role of Masses and The Leader in the History. And it is dedicated to the 130-th birthday date of Stalin. Some quite good people are there, as far as I can understand names disclosed. The Chair and organizer is the Georgian Communist. I have sent the same information to Les. It is pasted below now: ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
