Why did soviets follow stalin so eagerly despite his atrocities? a. because he conditioned the younger generation to honor him above their families b. because he was a fascist that destroyed their unfair socialist society c. because he made peace with germany whom they had feared d. because his rule resembled the czarist reign that lenin had destroyed

The right answer is "A. Because he conditioned the younger generation to honor him above their families ".

Despite the atrocities, the Soviet Union under Stalin became the second largest economy in the world after World War II, won great victories against Nazi Germany and developed nuclear technology in a fairly short space of time. Stalin led the country's post-war reconstruction projects and promoted the development of space technology. Many young people saw this with good eyes and made them believe that Stalin was a great leader and that he deserved to be honored.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
