Letter from Soviet General Secretary (Joseph Stalin) to PKI Leader (D.N. Aidit)

16 Feb 1953
Description: Stalin replies to Aidit’s letter from 13 January 1953 on the peasant question and the question of the national front [the latter is only in the Russian version]. He states that the differences in the PKI’s views and his own have been cleared up and explains how to eliminate the remnants of feudalism in Indonesia, comparing it to recent processes in Eastern Europe. [The English documents ends here, while the Russian version continues.] Finally, Stalin recommends to organize a union between workers and peasants as well as a "national front" against the "domestic reactionary forces" and the foreign enemies.
