Liberal American journalists are the ones who labeled the Stalinist in Russia "conservatives." That's a perfect example of how the media propaganda organs define words to mean whatever they want them to mean. The label Stalinists "conservatives" simply so they can slam American conservatives.
Gullible pliant drones like you swallow this crap, but intelligent people aren't fooled.
But I thought liberals were collectivists? Well there goes the term Liberal progressive...
Progressives must be conservatives then...
How do you explain that the Russian people are mostly conservative?
Or what happened after the fall of the Soviet Union in the late 1980's?
Sorry, but Stalinist is what Nikita F. Zherbin, head of the Leningrad chapter of Pamyat called himself.
Stalin received a scholarship to a Georgian Orthodox seminary, there was nothing liberal about his upbringing.
Pamyat
Pamyat (Russian: Память; English translation: Memory) is a Russian ultra-nationalist organization identifying itself as the "People's National-patriotic Orthodox Christian movement." It has been accused of racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism.
In the fall of 1987, the National-Patriotic Front (NPF) was founded, with the aim of "renaissance", with the intent to "lead Russian people to the spiritual and national revival" on the basis of "three traditional Russian values": Orthodoxy, national character and spirituality. After several splits and the imminent dissolution of the USSR, the organization adopted a monarchist position, thus breaking with its initial national-communist tendencies (e.g. Pamyat had appreciated Stalin's activities in the post-war era, esp. 'his campaigns against 'cosmopolitans').
In August 1990, a permanent NPF council member, Aleksandr Barkashov (the author of the book The ABC of a Russian Nationalist), caused another split after his announcement of being "tired to be preoccupied by recollections. It is time to act". His new group was dubbed "Russian National Unity" (Русское Национальное Единство. Barkashov promoted the cult of the swastika, a symbol which, according to Barkashov, "acts on subconsciousness of theomachists. It paralyses, weakens and demoralizes them."
It was claimed Pamyat's ideology blended fascism with autocratic monarchy (rejecting the "legitimist" Romanov family line), and an interpretation of Orthodoxy that borrowed heavily from the Nazi sponsored Positive Christianity. One of Pamyat's founders, Valeriy Yemelyanov, attempted to merge religious neo-Paganism with Russian ethnic neo-Nazism. He is also the author of the book "Dezionization".
