“与群众的接触,加强这些接触,愿意倾听群众的声音——这就是布尔什维克领导的力量和坚不可摧。 他可以认为,只要布尔什维克与广大人民群众保持联系,他们就立于不败之地。 反之,布尔什维克只要脱离群众、脱离群众、沾满官僚主义的风气,就足以失去一切力量,变成无足轻重的人了。” J·V·斯大林,1937 年 "Contacts with the masses, the strengthening of these contacts, readiness to listen to the voice of the masses -- in this lie the strength and impregnability of Bolshevik leadership. It may he taken as a rule that so long as Bolsheviks keep contacts with the broad masses of the People, they will be invincible. And, contrariwise, it is sufficient for Bolsheviks to break away from the masses and lose contact with them, to become covered with bureaucratic rash, for them to lose all their strength and become converted into nonentities." J. V. Stalin, 1937
