We Remind Ourselves of Lenin (November 1941)

Stalin, Moscow
November 12 1941

Holding the traditional celebration of the Moscow Party and workers' organization can only be good for us. I've consulted Zhukov and he is certain that the Germans are in no condition to start any big push within hte next few days. They will be busy regrouping and reinforcing their units. The people need to be reminded that we have been through tougher times before. We have abandoned Kaluga, German tanks are in all of our main approaches to Moscow. Danger to Moscow has been increasing hourly since. Marching past Lenin's tomb will rekindle the remaining sparks of life into these troops. The Germans are and will be in a much worse state. We have allies now unlike the times of 1918, we are fighting for our own freedom. I need to inspire my people for this war. The Germans will not take Moscow. We will make them collapse under the weight of their own crimes. Zhukov has suggested a counter attack plan. This may just turn the tide for us.

Stalin, Moscow
