HOLY FUCKING SHIT, this guy, Lazar Kaganovich, was probably the only top Bolshevik who participated in ww1, the October revolution, knew Lenin, became Stalin's guy before Lenin's death, was in the central committee in the 1920s and a member of the politburo since 1930, orchestrated the Holodomor and was the third after Stalin and Molotov in orchestrating the great purge, a key manager in WW2, and was almost purged by Stalin before his (((sudden death))) in 1953, then lost his authority under Khrushchev, attempted to orchestrate a coup against him but failed and was forced to retire until he died in FUCKING 1991 almost a couple of weeks before the collapse of the USSR

He was the heart of the USSR

Being born in 1893 and croaking in 1991 is fascinating enough in of itself. Front row seats to the most fascinating era of all of human history.

Front row seats to the most transformative* era of all of human history.

grew up when nationalism and communism went mainstream, fought in ww1 where all major empires collapsed, was influential in building a new world order in the new communist empire, was known as Iron Lazar for his ruthlessness and working incredibly long hours, went to the very top in his early 30s and was accountable only to Stalin himself, purged his enemies and friends alike, was a key figure in ww2 industrial warfare, survived Stalin's last purges, lived enough to see the empire he built dwindle and died just before its official collapse when a new world order was beng built and almost no one around him was giving a fuck about his glory days, he was certainly like an alien in his last years

Only the good die young

Molotov dates are 1890-1986, not too bad either.

How the fuck did he not get purged by Khruschev?

Hmmmmmm

...

He literally lived in the greatest time of european civilization.
He saw the rise and fall of Nationalism, Communism and traditionalism.
He died right before entire world went to shit and became decadend cesspool.

I ain't even a commie nigger but can appreciate his life.

and now his legacy is dust

absolutely delicious

ok ivan

Let me guess, you're an American who hates democracy and wants back the 'glory days' of imperialism and nationalistic dictatorships?

Communism isn't dead

Yeah, he was a faggot all right.

It's DOA.

> died in 1991
Just like some country...

your are a faggot too

The world is objectively better off now than before. Don't know what the hell you're on about.

The world is better off now thanks to the work they put in.

Khruschev wasn't big on purging. He played the game but wasn't big on the game.

bump

>rate of technological advancement becomes exponential as soon as the long peace begins

ok

Do you honestly thing the advancement from a mobile phone to an iPhone can be compared to lifting millions of people out of starvation and opening the way to the stars?

Look at all the beautiful infrastructure in your country, and ask yourself how much of it was built in the bad old days as opposed to now.

Only Budyonny deserved long life.
Hopefully Kaganovich was lucid enough to know that the time of USSR was coming to an end.

>He saw the rise and fall of Nationalism, Communism and traditionalism
You sounds like a victim of US education. He only saw the rise and fall of Communism. Nationalism risen in French revolution and hadn't fallen yet and "traditionalism" isn't even a thing.

he probably was
