From "Kalendar' «Strana Socializma»" for 1941, p.149:
"21 December 1879--
"birthdate of J.V. Stalin-- genius, leader and teacher of the peoples of the USSR and the workers of the whole world, comrade-in-arms and friend of the great Lenin, organizer and inspirer of the victory of
socialism in the USSR."
From p. 178:
"The name of Stalin is a symbol of valor, symbol of the glory of the Soviet people, summons to new heroic deeds in the glory of the Soviet people. With the name of Stalin, Papanin's polar explorers carried out their historic achievement. With thought of Stalin, Stakhanovites create exemplars, unseen before in the world, of high productive labor, hastening the transformation of our country to the brilliant heights of communism. With thought of Stalin, collective farmers work unrelentingly for the right to be distinguished at the All-Union agricultural exhibit, setting the foundation for the full abundance of
produce characteristic of communist society. With the name of Stalin, heroic pilots fly ever higher, ever faster, ever further, earning their loving nickname 'Stalin's eagles' from the people."
