THE SECOND WORLD WAR FROM GEOPOLITICAL AND CIVILIZATION PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

The article underlines the geopolitical and civilization value of the victory of the Soviet people World War II thus opposing to new tendencies of the information war in course of which the winners become the defended, enemies become heroes, and evil turns into good. From ambivalent positions the author also considers the personality of Stalin, the generalissimos of the Soviet Union. As a geopolitician Stalin was strategically sagacious. Being a hard dictator to his own people, he was also strict to himself and his close relatives. This inflexibility was conditioned not by Stalin’s awful character, but the historical situation of the time. The author concludes that in response to external violence Stalin resorted to internal violence forcing his people to submit to his will for the sake of victory over the enemy, for the salvation of the Eurasian civilization. That is why he became the greatest geopolitician and party dictator.
