I think prachandaa is going nuts. I have assembled 3 articles. The first one is about Prachandaa going nuts from nepalnews and the latter ones from bbc. There is a reason for his insanity. At this stage, It is possible that he is even thinking Baburam is going to assassinate him for power, (which is a clearly a possibility, if you look at the history of tyrants).
Looking at his last few meetings and hearing his speeches, it is clear that he is scared as hell about his life. For example, he has been making baseless comments like Paras and the palace conspiracy of six million and assassination of US citizens (and the list goes on). Add this with double security, and you would get my point.
At first, I used to think, it was communist propaganda. Something that Lenin started. However, now I think Prachandaa is outside the line of propaganda, because he is doing it even at the expense of his image. Therefore, I have more then sufficient logic to believe that he is losing his mind.
This is however, making him predictable like Stalin, Lenin or even Saddam (easier for us to assassinate him at the earliest, to secure a better Nepal). T
he latter 2 articles are about Stalin. Try and compare three and you all would see my point. For more information read Lenin and how revolutionaries are to use propaganda, and you would know exactly what’s prachandaa is doing.


Prachanda claims conspiracies afoot to derail CA elections
Maoist chairman Prachanda has claimed that there are conspiracies being hatched by reactionaries to derail the Constituent Assembly elections.
Addressing the convention held by Newa National Liberation Front, Prachanda also accused that conspirators were trying to disintegrate the country by raising issues of ethnicity in an improper manner. He accused that people from across the border were being transported to incite violence in Terai.
Likewise, senior Maoist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai also claimed that there were conspiracies being hatched by domestic and foreign forces. He said it was strange that people were doubting the intention of "People's Liberation Army" rather than the state army, which he accused, had worked against the people in the past.
Dr. Bhattarai also condemned the government for "promoting corrupt generals of the army." nepalnews.com sd Mar 16 07

How Russia faced its dark past
By Angus Roxburgh

One of history's greatest tyrants died 50 years ago today. In his three decades as ruler of the Soviet Union, Josef Stalin killed most of his closest comrades and exterminated the country's finest military leaders and intellectual brains.
He incarcerated millions in labour camps and turned neighbour against neighbour in a frenzy of denunciations and terror.
He ruthlessly forced peasants into collective farms, causing famine, and turned industry from top to bottom into a command economy which produced impressive quantities of tanks and weapons (enough to defeat Hitler's invading army) but eventually ground creaking to a halt.
Even today historians argue over exactly how many million deaths he was responsible for - an irony, given his own view that "the death of one person is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic".
Stalin created a system of total political control, under which journalists and artists were forced to glorify the Great Leader and the communist system, and even scientists worked in an ideological straitjacket.
In Russia itself all subsequent leaders have been defined by their attitude to him. Nikita Khrushchev in 1956 denounced Stalin's "cult of the personality" and freed millions from the labour camps.
But he kept the essential elements of the political and economic system he inherited from Stalin, and it remained intact right through to the '80s.
Under Khrushchev's successor, Leonid Brezhnev, who ruled from 1964 to 1982, the whole Stalin question was put back into cold storage. You just didn't mention it, and all the moral degradation and confusion caused by those years went unexplained to a whole generation.
A partial rehabilitation even took place: schoolbooks referred to Stalin's great role as Soviet leader during the War, but not a word was spoken or written about the Terror.
When the reformer, Mikhail Gorbachev, took the helm of the Communist Party in 1985, he set about opening up the country's murky history. But even he had to tread carefully for fear of offending Stalin's supporters.
In a landmark speech in November 1987 he spoke of the "thousands" who died under Stalin. But he allowed the country's journalists, historians and writers to go much further.
'Monstrous crimes'
Under the policy of "glasnost" or openness in the late '80s, scarcely a day went by without some new revelation about Stalin's monstrous crimes - revelations, that is, in the Soviet Union of things that were common knowledge in the West.
Mass graves were discovered, the so-called "Testament" of Vladimir Lenin (the Soviet Union's first leader) warning of the dangers of Stalin was published for the first time, the names of his victims - Bukharin, Trotsky and others - were spoken aloud for the first time since the dictator's death.
I remember attending a theatre performance in Moscow based on Yevgeniya Ginzburg's labour camp memoir, Into the Whirlwind, at a time when such daring productions were still rare. The audience wept openly. It was an emotional act of collective catharsis. People emerged stunned by what they had learned about their own lives and history.
Still, telling the full truth about Stalin has been a painful process, and remains difficult today. There have been remarkably few books written or films made about the period in Russia - in marked contrast to the deluge of material produced about Hitler and the Holocaust.
A dwindling Old Guard of Stalinists in Russia hark back to what they regard as a time of greatness, now lost. Stalin, they argue, defeated Hitler and created a mighty economy. They would like the city of Volgograd to be given back the name by which it is known for one of the great battles of the Second World War - Stalingrad.
An opinion poll published this week discovered that more than half of Russians think that overall Stalin played a positive role in Russian history.
Fewer than a third regarded him as a murderous tyrant.
Russia current ruler, Vladimir Pu_tin, is somewhat coy about the subject. He worked for years as an agent in the repulsive KGB, successor to the secret police created by Stalin as the cruellest instrument of his terror - and appears to see nothing wrong in that.
I don't expect the president to mark the anniversary of Stalin's death with a ringing and comprehensive denunciation of him.
At least the truth is now told in Russia. Schoolchildren learn about the horrors of Stalin's dictatorship. Alexander Solzhenitsyn's epic about the camps, the Gulag Archipelago, can be bought and read.
Most importantly, the systems Stalin created - political and economic - have been well and truly shattered - though it may take decades for the country and its people fully to recover from their ravages.
Stalinism warped more than just the economy and the political system: it created a peculiar mindset that lingers on today. As the newspaper Izvestiya wrote in a commemorative article, "God alone knows when [the country] will rise up from Stalin's bier once and for all, but the process has started."

The mystery of Stalin's death
By Leonida Krushelnycky


Fifty years ago, on 5 March 1953, the Soviet leader Josef Stalin died.
His political life as a dictator who dominated millions has been minutely dissected over the decades.
But his last days continue to provoke speculation and argument.
Did he die of natural causes following a brain haemorrhage or was Stalin killed because he was about to plunge the Soviet Union into a war its people were in no position to fight?
Unusual order
The night of 28 February began in the usual manner for Stalin and his closest political circle, Lavrenty Beria, Nikita Khrushchev, Nikolai Bulganin and Georgi Malenkov.
They watched a film in the Kremlin then retired to Stalin's country home, 10 minutes outside Moscow, for yet another night of feasting.
By the early hours of 1 March, Stalin's guests had gone back to their homes in Moscow.
What happened next was out of the ordinary for a man as obsessed with security as Stalin. He gave an order for his guards to retire for the night - he was not to be disturbed.
This change to Stalin's normal behaviour intrigued Russian historian Edvard Radzinski, and a few years ago he tracked down one of the guards on duty that night, Pyotr Lozgachev.
Guards worried
It was Lozgachev's testimony of that night that led Radzinski to speculate about what might really have happened.
The guard confirmed that it was not Stalin who gave the guards the order to go to bed, rather the order was conveyed by the main guard Khrustalev.
"Stalin would taunt the guards by saying 'Want to go to bed?' and stare into our eyes," Lozgachev said. "As if we'd dare! So of course we were glad when we got this order, and went off to bed without thinking twice."
The guards slept late the following morning, and so, it seemed, did Stalin. Twelve o'clock, one, two o'clock came and no Stalin.
The guards began to get worried, but no one dared to go into his rooms. They had no right to disturb Stalin unless invited into his presence personally.
At 6.30 a light came on in Stalin's rooms, and the guards relaxed a little. But by the time 10 o'clock had chimed they were petrified. Lozgachev was finally sent in to check on Stalin.
"I hurried up to him and said 'Comrade Stalin, what's wrong?' He'd, you know, wet himself while he was lying there. He made some incoherent noise, like "Dz dz". His pocketwatch and copy of Pravda were lying on the floor. The watch showed 6.30. That's when it must have happened to him."
'World War III'
The guards rushed to call Stalin's drinking companions, the Politburo. It was their tardiness in responding and calling for medical help that put questions of doubt in Radzinski's mind.
Did they already know too much and so did not need to hurry to the "old man's" side?
Mr Radzinski says Yes. He asserts that Stalin was injected with poison by the guard Khrustalev, under the orders of his master, KGB chief Lavrenty Beria. And what was the reason Stalin was killed?
"All the people who surrounded Stalin understood that Stalin wanted war - the future World War III - and he decided to prepare the country for this war," Mr Radzinski says.
"He said: we have the opportunity to create a communist Europe but we have to hurry. But Beria, Khrushchev, Malenkov and every normal person understood it was terrible to begin a war against America because the country [Russia] had no economy.
"It wasn't a poor but a super-poor country which was destroyed by the German invasion, a country which had no resources but only nuclear weapons.
"It was the reason for his anti-Semitic campaign, it was a provocation. He wanted an answer from America. And Beria knew Stalin had planned on 5 March to begin the deportation of Jewish people from Moscow."
As always in Russia, conspiracy piles on conspiracy. Some saw buses parked all round Moscow to take away the Jews. Others glimpsed special barns erected for the deportees in Kazakhstan.
But while the drama unfolded over the next few days in Stalin's country house, the citizens of the Soviet Union were split in their reaction to the imminent death of their leader.
Many openly wept for the man they called '"Father", "Teacher", "God". Others in prison camps across the land allowed themselves to exchange secret smiles and hope that things would be different now.
At 9.50pm on 5 March Stalin died. By the next day his body was lying in state in the Hall of Columns, a few streets from Red Square. It is estimated that several millions came to see him one final time. Several hundred were rumoured to have died in the crush.
Fifty years on, the rumours of intrigues and conspiracies continue. For a tyrant like Josef Stalin, a simple death would be just too mundane.
The documentary The Last Mystery of Stalin - BBC Radio 4 on Monday, 24 February, 2000 GMT - charts the politics and emotions of a turbulent and truly significant week in Soviet history, through personal recollections and dramatic re-creations.
