ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE TOTALITARIAN REGIME IN THE SOVIET STATE YEARS GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR

Abstract

The authors, contrary to well-established purely negative public assessment essentially the Soviet totalitarian regime, come to the conclusion that in the reporting period of history of salvation of the Fatherland there are two related, yet alternative trends in its functioning. On the one hand, there is increased centralization of power, its concentration in the hands of the party-state apparatus, mass repression, the formation of Stalin's personality cult. And on the other - a definite evolution in the functioning of the totalitarian regime: some democratization, warming policy; modernization of the ideological sphere of society. This trend is little research in political science. The ideological evolution of the political regime we have seen in the reorientation of the slogans of the world revolution, the communist movement, building a bright future - communism to the internal problems of war, which required new ideological values, such as patriotism, citizenship and love for the motherland, hatred of the enemy, the political unity countries, a return to the historical origins and traditions of the past. Modernized and public policy: respect for the institution of the church and religion; increased attention to the role of intellectuals and culture; facilitated by the financial situation of the peasants. There has been some democratization of management below: street formed community committees involved in supporting families of soldiers; a number of organizational and personnel matters was transferred to the technical business managers. New trends in the system contributed to the rise of totalitarianism patriotism and consolidation of all forces of society. Managed to restore people's trust in government. As a result of Stalin's regime played a significant role in the victorious outcome of the Second World War and the economic recovery in the post-war period.
