Lots of ideas. Today, there are several competing theories for how life arose on Earth. Some question whether life began on Earth at all, asserting instead that it came from a distant world or the heart of a fallen comet or asteroid.
Although, just allowing an âAnti-Religious Committee of the Central Committeeâ is pretty telling, and Stalin, who murdered a lot of people for a lot of reasons, did have a concerted campaign against religion where he murdered anyone who was a theist, and he detroyed all churches, temples, and mosques in Russia.
True or not, this amount of time lapsed before Stalin addressed the Russian people about the nature of the calamity that was upon them. In a halting, somber tone, Stalin spoke to the Russian people in a radio broadcast on July 3, 1941, imploring them not to give up hope. He reminded them of Napoleon, and the defeat of his armies. Hitler was no more invincible than the French Emperor, he declared. Stalin called for a Scorched Earth behind the retreat of the Russian armies, non-cooperation, and partisan warfare on the part of the occupied territories. He also expressed gratitude for the promises of support from the Western democracies.
