D.S. Korotchenko, (Ukrainian SSR )

Comrades, our party, our country came to the XIX Congress of the

CPSU (b) with huge victories. The Party organization and all the working people of Soviet Ukraine, like the entire Soviet people, greeted with great enthusiasm and universal approval the draft directives of the 19th Party Congress on the new five‐year plan ‐ a great program for the further struggle to build a communist society.

This historic document reflects the great Stalinist concern of the Communist Party and the Soviet Government for the further strengthening of our beloved Motherland, for the all‐round development of the economy and culture of all fraternal republics of the great Soviet Union.

The new five‐year plan fully meets the requirements of the basic economic law of socialism, discovered by Comrade Stalin in his brilliant work ʺEconomic Problems of Socialism in the USSR.ʺ This plan reflects the peaceful aspirations of the Soviet state, demonstrates the greatness of socialism, its decisive superiority over capitalism.

The whole world can see that at a time when capitalism is on the path of increasing exploitation, oppression and impoverishment of the working masses, when barbaric American imperialism has brought the economies of many states enslaved to it to a catastrophe, our country is flourishing economy and culture, the well‐being of the people is growing. , gigantic construction sites of communism are being erected.

Every Soviet person is glad that the working people of the Peopleʹs Republic of China and all the peopleʹs democracies are marching with us towards a happy life along the road of socialism.

The new five‐year plan will further strengthen our cooperation with the peopleʹs democracies, and further strengthen the invincible camp of peace, democracy and socialism.

(...)

Comrades, our party is now armed with Comrade Stalinʹs brilliant work ʺEconomic Problems of Socialism in the USSRʺ, which is a huge contribution to the theory of Marxism‐Leninism. This work of Comrade Stalin shows all Soviet people a clear path to the complete victory of communism.

Party organizations and all working people of Soviet Ukraine, inspired by the historic decisions of the 19th Congress of the Communist Party, will rally even more closely around the Leninist‐Stalin Central Committee, the Soviet Government, the great leader and teacher ‐ the beloved Comrade Stalin. We assure the Central Committee of the Party, Comrade Stalin, that the working people of Soviet Ukraine will not spare their efforts and will fulfill the magnificent tasks of the new fiveyear plan with honor and will make their worthy contribution to the great cause of building a communist society.

The Ukrainian people, like all the fraternal peoples of our Motherland, are confident in their future, because we are led by the party of Lenin ‐ Stalin, because the great Stalin is with us. And where Stalin is ‐ there is victory!

Long live our great leader and teacher, our dear and beloved Comrade

Stalin! (Applause.)
