It is frustrating for me! There are so many enemies of the state. They are everywhere and I am given the impossible task of finding them all. Why would anybody want to be an enemy of this wonderful country we have created? What a waste of one's life.
The worst part is that the wives the men convicted as enemies of the state have become involved. They too are traitors, for how could any woman not be an enemy of the state when her husband, role model, and lover is a traitor!
If any man is convicted as being a rebel, his wife is also convicted, and is taken away. It is the only way to get rid of all these traitors! When I and my secret police conduct these purges, the women are just as guilty and capable of treason as the men! They must be dealt with! They must be made examples of so that we do not have more following their evil ways!

Women in the Soviet Union
I have found a new workforce. Because of these five-year plans, our nation needs all its citizens to join the effort to industrialize the country. I have found a way for women to help in their patriotic duties: they can work.
Russian women are already accustomed to heavy and dirty tasks around the house and on the farm, so it is not that much different to have them labor elsewhere, in addition to their household duties. Women, especially Soviet women, are strong and can be sent to work on construction sites where they can build factories, dams, and other things essential for the industrialization of the Soviet Union. In addition, I have found that women are clever enough to operate lathes, drill presses, and other machinery. I have also sent women to work on digging ditches and canals.
They are hard workers, of course they have to be, however, there are some women who are becoming unhealthy because of this labor, and some have even given their lives, but it is a sacrifice that I am willing to make, and they should be proud of themselves. What better way to spend your life than serving and dying for your country. They are hard workers; of course they have to be. Every citizen must work hard for the motherland!

The Ukrainian Famine
My five-year plan is working splendidly. Collectivization is a great idea. Not only does it allow for everyone to be equal and serve their country, but I have found another use for it.
The Ukrainians were experiencing a cultural revival. That cannot be tolerated. I could not have such a strong minority contaminating the Soviet Union. I found a way to kill two birds with one stone. I had my collectivization and I could deal with this Ukrainian problem at the same time. During this time of collectivization in the Ukraine, I required them to send more food to the government than they were able to provide considering there was a food shortage from the transition to collective farms. This resulted in a terrible famine from 1932 to 1933.
Estimates usually say that somewhere between 6-10 million Ukrainians died during this famine. This absolutely crushed the Ukrainian nationalism. Of course, it was not to be known that I planned for this to happen.

Treatment of Minorities
Minorities cause problems. They show that everyone is different and differences tell people that not everyone is equal which goes against everything we are trying to create here in the Soviet Union. Not to mention, many of these groups like to promote and support their own culture instead of that of the Soviet Union.
I have started by making "the study of the Russian language obligatory in schools of all national republics and [autonomous] regions". School was also to be taught using the Cyrillic alphabet, so as to teach the culture of the Soviet Union instead of native culture and language. This was decreed on March 13, 1938.
I have found that the best way to deal with this problem is to deport these people to Siberia and Central Asia. I have deported many different ethnic minorities such as, Ukrainians, Balts, Chechens, Ingush, Balkars, Kalmyks, and Crimean Tatars. The Soviet Union is much better off with these people out of society. Russians are the best ethnicity. As I toasted on our Victory Day in May 1945, "I would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, before all, the Russian people. I drink, before all, to the health of the Russian people, because in this war they earned general recognition as the leading force of the Soviet Union among all the nationalities of our country"

Anti-Semitism
I have always wanted to find a way to reduce the number of Jews in the Soviet Union. In 1926, I disbanded the Jewish Section of the Communist Party. That was a good way to get them out of government. I, just as Lenin had, told people that Jews had no large, compact, rural settlements and no agricultural population, so there was no reason to recognize them as their own national group. They were "not a living and active nation, but something mystical, intangible and supernatural. For, I repeat, what sort of nation, for instance, is a Jewish nation which consists of Georgian, Daghestanian, Russian, American and other Jews, the members of which do not understand each other (since they speak different languages), inhabit different parts of the globe, will never see each other, and will never act together, whether in time of peace or in time of war?"
In 1928, I was able to send them to the Far Eastern region of Birobirdzan, not a very desirable place to live, to colonize. While they were there, I was able to accuse Semyon Dimanstein, the secretary of the Communist Party in Birobirdzan, of Trotskyism. During the great purge, the same thing happened to many other prominent Jewish Communists.
During the 1930s, the first signs of national anti-Semitism could be seen. There was open discrimination in education and in important roles and positions, such as the Soviet Armed Forces, or any type of organization that had contact with foreign countries.
The doctor's plot was another attempt to rid the USSR of Jews. In 1953, a conspiracy was reported to get rid of leaders of the Soviet Union by having the Jewish doctors poison them. However, this case was fabricated, and did not amount to anything in the end.

United and Mighty, our Soviet Union
My chest swells with pride everytime I hear the anthem to our magnificent nation!
This mighty anthem replaced The Internationale, as the national anthem of the Soviet Union in 1944. I thought that our soldiers would be more patriotic and brave for the Soviet Union if our national anthem was written specifically for the Soviet Union instead of for a general political idea, especially if it was at least in Russian instead of French. I personally chose Sergey Mikhalkov to, with the help of G. El-Registan, write the lyrics to the music composed by Alexander Alexandrov. The lyrics really capture the essence of the U.S.S.R., and of course, because I am leading this beloved nation, I am mentioned in the lyrics, along with Vladimir Lenin, as leading the citizens to labor and heroism. This sounds like me exactly; I am such an inspiration to the people!
The unbreakable union of free republics
Great Russia has welded forever;
Created by will of the peoples, long live
The united, mighty Soviet Union!
CHORUS:
Be renowned, our free Fatherland,
Reliable stronghold of friendship of peoples!
Soviet flag, people's flag
Let it lead from victory to victory!
Through tempests shined on us the sun of freedom,
And the great Lenin lit us the way.
Stalin brought us up — on loyalty to the people,
He inspired us to labor and to heroism!
CHORUS:
Be renowned, our free Fatherland,
Happiness of the people is a reliable stronghold!
Soviet flag, people's flag
Let it lead from victory to victory!
We developed our army in battles,
We will sweep the vile aggressors from the way!
In battles we settle the fate of generations,
We will lead our Fatherland to glory!
CHORUS:
Be renowned, our free Fatherland,
Glory of the people is a reliable stronghold!
Soviet flag, people's flag
Let it lead from victory to victory!
What an amazing song!

The Catholic Church
The Catholic Church posed some threat to the state, however but there were few Catholics within the actual Russian state. Rather, most were within the Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and others. But when these became satellite countries, something had to be done. Thus in 1945 my organizations made their rounds, and we arrested, deported, and detained a good amount of the Catholic leadership. We detained hundreds; both clergy and lay leadership. We even detained all nine bishops.
