Today marks the 102nd anniversary of the death of the great teacher Lenin. In commemoration of this day, and even more so to expose the many lies and conspiracies fabricated by imperialists in preparation for a new world war, and to point out that communism is the only path to stopping world war, this article is hereby published. This article was personally written by Flame of Fire (烽火Flame) and is not yet complete; it is being released in advance for everyone to study and discuss.
On June 8, 2026, this article was completed and the full version was updated. The complete text is published in issue 9 of Dawn.
During the Anti-Japanese War period, after the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union, Soviet aid did not even require contractual procedures.
Soviet pilot Kuryshenko: “Honestly, I feel like I am experiencing my homeland’s disaster, and also the disaster that Chinese working people are suffering. Every time I see buildings destroyed by Japanese planes and crowds fleeing, I feel sad.”
There is still a group of idiots and bourgeois liberals slandering that the Soviet Union occupying Lushun after the war was “great power chauvinism.” But the treaty clearly states in black and white that “after the expiration, all equipment and public assets built by the Soviet Union in this area (i.e., Lushun) shall be transferred to China free of charge.” Isn’t this just great power chauvinism? Did American imperialists and the reactionary Kuomintang government sign such a treaty?
The Soviet Union used Dalian Port to refuse help from American imperialists in transporting troops to Northeast China and supported China’s liberation war:
In fact, the agreement with Chiang Kai-shek’s bandits did not even reach thirty years. After the full liberation of China, China and the Soviet Union signed the “Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance,” which stipulated that Soviet troops would withdraw from Lushun Port no later than the end of 1952. This was only five years after 1945, so the claim that the Soviet occupation of Lushun Port was “great power chauvinism” is a fallacy.
Peng Ming’s “History of Sino-Soviet Friendship” also records an event: after the fall of Northeast China, some volunteer troops led the masses to retreat into the Soviet Union, where they received friendly reception and assistance from the Soviet people, and refused the evil conspiracy of Japanese imperialists to extradite volunteer military leaders, which shows that only the Soviet Union stood on the side of the oppressed people to help brotherly nations.
The traitorous clique of Hua Guofeng and Deng Xiaoping usurped the party and government leadership, purged the revolutionary forces, and led China down the path of revisionism. There are no socialist countries left in the world.
I seem to remember that there was also the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania under the leadership of Enver Hoxha. Albania was likewise led by Hoxha from 1976 to 1985. During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, Albania was known as “the beacon of socialism in Europe.” So, after the Soviet Union and China successively turned revisionist, was Albania still a socialist country?
Hoxha did not, in fact, follow the Cultural Revolution’s line of pursuing the continued revolution. He did not fully endorse the Cultural Revolution. After Chairman Mao’s death, he directly repudiated the value of Mao Zedong Thought and attacked Chairman Mao as a revisionist, effectively embarking on a path that was ostensibly “leftist” but actually rightist. If one were to say that he still adhered to Marxism before Chairman Mao’s death, then after Mao’s death he gradually revised his views as well—though, ultimately, he was still not a thoroughgoing revisionist. However, because he neither understood nor put into practice the theory of the continued revolution, and did not launch a Cultural Revolution, Albania soon became thoroughly revisionist as well.
Understood, thank you, comrade, for clearing that up. I also came across the debate about Hoxha in leftist circles within China’s internet restrictions, which is why I had this question. It makes sense to me now. I found a book by Hoxha called Imperialism and Revolution, which almost completely repudiates Chairman Mao and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
