The Second World War brought economic changes. The pound sterling fell significantly, while the US dollar began to gain strength, gaining strength. July 1944 was the month when the states held a conference of the most prominent representatives of banks. The US did not suffer from bombing, because were from the epicenter of trouble at the distance of the ocean. Therefore, the bankers of America managed to convince the world public that a simple piece of paper, unsupported by gold, like the British pound, will become the world currency. Thus, the International Monetary Fund was born, suppressing other money bills. The system of enslavement of the countries began.
Will save power ...
The IMF gained its power to such proportions that economically enslaved many countries, undermining their national currencies. You can compare this organization with the store of a greedy Jew - a pawnbroker, only increased to a world scale. But the West did not expect a decent response from Joseph Stalin, who for a long time collected information about the activities of the IMF.
Important document
Thus, in an order dated the first day of spring of 1950, Stalin indicated that the ruble should have a gold content. Therefore, the State Bank of the Union needed to change the ratio of the ruble to foreign currencies
The order consisted of only a few paragraphs, not perceived by our citizens as great news. But abroad, it caused a huge number of fears and discontent. After all, such an order of the leader undermined the capitalist foundations of the Western world. Joseph Vissarionovich undermined the flow of gold from all socialist countries to capitalist America. The dollar began to erode, lose credibility. After all, for the USSR, he meant only that figure, which was indicated on the bill, as well as small expenses for paint and making a bill.
Statistics
We must pay tribute to Stalin. After all, he put the ruble in a place of honor. With him, the gold reserve of the USSR was 2500 tons! This is an impressive figure. But, unfortunately, in 1992 the gold fund was only 250 tons. At this time, the ruble was called "wooden". As a result, economic problems began.
Evaluation of the great politician
Winston Churchill was amazed at the time by the changes that had taken place in connection with the strengthening of the ruble. A great struggle began, in which all methods and methods were applied. But a great politician must be able to objectively judge the situation as the affairs of his country. So is the competitor state. That is why Churchill in December 1959 in the House of Lords delivered his famous speech. She plunged Western detractors into shock, because was the truth, not distorting the merits of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.
Winston noted that Stalin was a man of genius. He was able to lift it literally from his knees in a difficult time for the country. The politician pointed to unbending will, erudition of the highest level and confidence in evidence. Therefore, even he, Churchill, sometimes could not oppose anything to Stalin. At the same time, Vissarionovich himself always wrote to himself articles and speeches that were distinguished by the gigantic power of thought and expression, the strength of each phrase. Rarely, who among politicians can boast of the ability to make up his speech.
Character
Even such a fact as the authority of Stalin was mentioned in Churchill's speech. He reported in his speech and in his memoirs that everyone was holding his hands at the seams when the leader of the USSR was entering. He could find a way out of any, even the most seemingly desperate situation. The phrase "the greatest, unmatched dictator", which Winston characterized Stalin, is magnificent. It was a man restrained by emotion, having inner strength.
