The duration of Stalin's rule, which lasted nearly thirty years, is usually explained by material factors - successes in the economy, party unity, and the dictatorship of punitive organs. Meanwhile, this period also had a secret underside, which, like a fabric with water, was saturated with deep occultism …
The overwhelming majority of researchers of the life of Joseph Stalin under a microscope examine his beliefs, milestones in his biography, stages of the internal party struggle, but they cannot explain how the son of an alcoholic shoemaker, a half-educated seminarian, a man without any connections and not at all outstanding abilities ascended to the very top power, becoming the ruler of a giant empire?
And some believe that the "concrete" of Stalin's fate was heavily involved in an alliance with otherworldly forces that helped him to wage fierce occult battles with his enemies.
Sources of strength
Having become a revolutionary, Stalin declared himself as a convinced Marxist, materialist, a pragmatic, even cynical person who had nothing to do with the "world of spirits." But this was a kind of camouflage, an attempt to hide the essence under the armor of an invented image.
In fact, a student of the Gori Orthodox Theological School (Stalin graduated from it with only two A's - in Greek and arithmetic, he passed the rest of the subjects perfectly), the seminarian of the Tiflis Seminary (the future leader studied there for five years) was well acquainted with various spiritual practices, including those with non-traditional currents. Moreover, he received the rudiments of esoteric knowledge at first hand - according to some versions, Stalin studied for some time at the Alexandropol (Leninakan) Jesuit College, where he met George Gurdjieff (the famous theosophist Helena Blavatskaya, as well as Anastas Mikoyan, had previously studied there). By birth, Gurdjieff was a Greek-Armenian, whose family roots went to Byzantium.
The future revolutionary was not only fascinated by the ideas of the philosopher and mystic, he absorbed much of what Gurdjieff preached to his English follower Aleister Crowley and Rudolf von Sebottendorff, the founder of the Thule Society, whose theories were developed by the Nazis. In 1899 and 1900? Stalin lived with the Gurdjieff family, and later, when he came to Moscow, he often stayed with his cousin, the sculptor Merkurov. Gurdjieff - a famous mystic, founder of the Fourth Way movement, an expert on many spiritual practices of the East and the Middle Ages - argued that the Caucasus is a place of secret power, absorbing which one can conquer the world.

It was on the advice of Gurdjieff that Stalin changed his date of birth, as did Gurdjieff himself: fans of secret teachings do this so that enemies cannot harm them.
One of the strongest places in the teachings of the Caucasian guru is the ability to command people. He taught this throughout his life, and there is no doubt that Stalin took advantage of this. According to the "cunning sage" (as Gurdjieff was called), he learned all this in his travels around the world - primarily in Tibet and India, communicating with seers and experts in parapsychology and telepathy.
Therefore, after coming to power, Stalin became very interested in the spiritual practices of Tibet, for which a special department was created under the NKVD. It was led by the famous Chekist Gleb Bokiy - with his direct participation, several expeditions were sent to Tibet. The famous theosophist and artist Nicholas Roerich took an active part in these travels.
Red Shambhala
As you know, the connoisseur of the East Nicholas Roerich (he was the favorite artist of Nicholas II) at first took the Soviet power with hostility. However, in the 1920s, the philosopher's views miraculously changed, he even called Lenin a "mahatma" (great teacher), called to transform the world.
One of the reasons that prompted Roerich to change his idea of revolution and communism was allegedly a meeting with the Teachers of Light (an invisible spiritual entity that the Roerichs worshiped all their lives), who opened his eyes to what was happening. According to another version, it was at this time that Roerich was recruited by agents of the NKVD, who recruited him to work for Soviet Russia. As a result, Roerich, together with the Chekists from the Bokii department, took part in an expedition to Tibet, where they were looking for Shambhala, a mythical country in which the knowledge of ancient civilizations is hidden. One of the ideological inspirers of the search for Shambhala, its brain and engine was also the doctor and writer Alexander Barchenko. This outstanding specialist, possessing telepathic abilities, was the founder of the secret organization "United Labor Brotherhood", which intended to study the scientific heritage of Shambhala.
In 1925, an NKVD expedition led by Barchenko gathered in the Himalayas. A huge amount for those times was allocated for its advance - 600 thousand dollars. But in order to prevent the leakage of the knowledge gained, at the last moment Barchenko was "unhooked" from the expedition, and a proven Bolshevik, Yakov Blumkin, the same one who in 1918 killed Count Mirbach, the German ambassador to Russia, was sent to Tibet.
It is clear that such people could not participate in the search for Shambhala without Stalin's knowledge. So the "father of nations", with the coming to power from a secret, a fan of esotericism became its clear inspirer and apologist.
True, this did not prevent the leader from ruthlessly cracking down on his former comrades-in-arms, suspected of treason. However, researchers who consider Stalin to be the main occultist of red Russia, explain this not by the perfidy of the leader, his cruelty or suspicion, but by a magical ritual, without which no secret cult can do.
Sacrifice
Many religious teachings, from Moloch to Christ, are based on the idea of atonement and sacrifice. And here it is impossible not to remember the millions of lives that were destroyed during the reign of the "father of nations". It is impossible to explain these monstrous crimes with ordinary human logic. Of course, they can be attributed to Stalin's paranoia, his morbid suspicion, but how then to explain the “silence of the lambs” - a multimillion people who did nothing to overthrow the tyrant? Or maybe there was something sacred in it?
As you know, the repressions came in waves, and if you trace their sequence, you can find that after the wave of repressions there was a wave of victories and triumph. The first wave of repressions began in 1927-1930: the "Shakhty case", "the case of the Industrial Party", "the case of the Labor Peasant Party". A few years later, the USSR became one of the industrial centers of the world: dozens of metallurgical and machine-building plants, hydroelectric power plants and thermal power plants, canals and railways were built, which laid the foundation for the invincibility and prosperity of the USSR. Then came the repressions of 1937-1938. It seemed that the unreasonableness of a power killing itself exceeded all limits. But then came the big war, which ended in complete victory and worldwide triumph for Stalin. Is there some kind of terrible, incomprehensible logic in this? The last surge of repression was the "Leningrad case" and the "Doctors' case". Who needed it and why? The answer is obvious: after a few years the USSR began to storm space! Remember: the essence of the Stalinist purges was not a simple extermination of people: at all trials, the defendants were required to actively repent. And repentance, as is known from religious doctrines, is necessary for further progress. So was the Stalinist repression a mechanism for strengthening personal power or a religious ritual that contributed to the country's prosperity?So was the Stalinist repression a mechanism for strengthening personal power or a religious ritual that contributed to the country's prosperity?So was the Stalinist repression a mechanism for strengthening personal power or a religious ritual that contributed to the country's prosperity?
The leader's magical predilections, his secret adherence to ancient teachings, are clearly revealed in the architecture of the Stalinist period. Objects of religious cult are scattered throughout the country: this is Lenin's Mausoleum, built in the form of an Assyrian ziggurat, and wonderful metropolitan skyscrapers reminiscent of the temples of ancient Atlantis, and the stone labyrinths of the Soviet metro - underground temples to unknown gods, arranged in the image and likeness of ancient Egyptian sanctuaries and amazing, carved into the rocks by adherents of an ancient cult.
And how not to recall the leader's habit of working at night: in the light of the Kremlin window, piercing the darkness of the night, there is much more medieval magic and religious vigil than the pale outburst of communism that accidentally wandered into Russia.
