Podcast Russian Music I LOVE STALIN FM FOR YOU! Rachel: Good morning, listeners all over Russia. Today in ILoveStalin FM, we have a special guest joining us to give us an insight of today’s society. Especially with the current trials of the Trotsky advocates taking place. Jenny Right. It’s been released again today that another hundred were found guilty already. Rachel: Such deceit…who knew the members of the Party would betray our dear leader Stalin. Jenny: So Mr. Mikhail Chsevolovski is here with us today to answer some of the questions and doubts we may have as citizens of a nation. He was one of the financial experts that planned the Five Year plans. He was sent by Gosplan to kindly provide us with the information we would want to know and explain the actions taken by the State Planning Commission and their intentions. Good morning, Mr. Chsevolovski. Hyun: Good morning. Jenny: So Mr. Chsevolovski, last year, Vesenkha and Gosplan released the Five Year Plans. Even though I am sure all the citizens are aware, can you briefly tell us what those plans are supposed to do for Russia? Hyun: Ah yes. The five years plans are quite brilliant I must say. Not only did I write them, but… you know.. hahaha. Well, the Plan was intended for the benefits of the people of soviet Union. First of all, it was to improve the Soviet economy and to prepare the nation from potential attacks from other countries and the counter revolutionary capitalists from the West as their main goal is to weaken our economy so that we have no chance against them. Rachel: So I would expect that the new work practices serve a purpose also? Hyun: Oh yes, we are always trying to expedite any process – especially something as meaningful as the Five Year Plans – and the new work practices are another form of attempts to speed up the process of economic development. Jenny: Rachel and I have figured you would say that so we have sent out notifications to our listeners and told them to mail us as there would be a special guest joining us today. Is it okay if you answer some of the questions from the listeners? Hyun: Certainly. Quite music in the background Rachel: Yes, this one is from Mr. Adam Alamov. Dear whom it may concern, hello this is Adam Alamov from Donbas. I am currently working at a hat factory and am honoured to be a part of developing the nation. However I have a question I would like to bring up. Do you realize that by providing everyone with jobs, they would not have individual incentives to work harder for the nation because there is no competition for jobs, or anything rather? Music fades Hyun: I see Mr. Alamov brings up an interesting point; however, people should not be consumed by their individual wants like money or power and work for the country much like our leader Stalin. What is he gaining from all his hard work? Not money, certainly not power since he is equal to every one of us! But he gets the satisfaction that the country is developing! The same music starts playing Jenny: Thank you Mr. Chevolv. Okay…this one is from Mrs. Sofiya Boris. Dear Mr. Chsevolovski, hello this is Sofiya Boris from Kazan. I would just like to get straight to my point because my baby boy is crying in the other room. While I do love my family, I would prefer to take on a job to represent the women of this nation I just cannot find the time to pursue such job when I have to take care of my family. I am aware that the Soviet Union supports women’s rights so is it possible for me to be a representative for the women of the country? Music fades out Hyun: It is certainly possible; however, it is to my understanding that you would like to represent the women to improve the status of women in the nation for the benefit of the country. I, as well as the rest of Gosplan, believe that women are able to take a part in developing the country simply by managing households as to other jobs because streghthening of families does impact the development of the nation. If your intention for your own benefit – as in, gaining of power and money, - it is highly discouraged. We cannot have selfish people in the country. It would slow us down. And we do not want the enemies to attack us while we are laggard. Rachel: Thank you Mr. Chevolovski for your insightful answers. Now we and the listners are reassured and confident that this nation will be developed further. Clap Jenny: Now we will play 7 songs back to back and you are listening to ILOVESTALIN FM! A random song fades in and fades out.
