Makes sense. When you're poor you breed like rabbits.
Because the country was rural, and the population was poorly educated. Stalin reinstated serfdom when he forced the peasants into collective farms and forbade them from moving to cities. Essentially, Russian villagers in stalins times lived under a medieval form of serfdom, where they could not leave their villages without the permission of the village chief.
It was only Khrushchev who gave people the freedom to choose where they wanted to live and the opportunity to move to cities of their own free will. Khrushchev also made higher education free, whereas under Stalin, any higher education (except for military education) was paid. Essentially, Khrushchev brought urban civilization to the Russians.
That old times when andalusians had 5 kids in average
Plus, back then, I read studies on Soviet children's intelligence levels, and only half of them had an IQ above 85, which means that the majority of Soviet children would be considered mentally retarded today. Essentially, the quality of human material was extremely low, which explains the high birth rates. I remember a Soviet scientist's report that had to be banned by Stalin, and the science of child development, known as pedology, was declared unscientific, as it would have implied that the majority of the Soviet population was mentally retarded.
Do you believe in that?
Returning to the ban on psychotechnics and pedology in the USSR in 1936 (as well as IQ tests).
I personally don't believe the inteligente of a person can be tested or showed in a number.
Unfortunately, we don't have anything better than an IQ test.
One of the few things Stalin did that I actually agree with. I think all that psychiatry industry is just pure lobotomy.
I have heard that Mao banned psychology as a "burguoise pseudoscience" which I also agree with despite how bad his government was
Simply, IQ tests proved that the population of the USSR was an untermensh.
And the Russians have been someone's property throughout history. First, it was the Scandinavians, whom the Slavs themselves asked to rule them. Then, the Germans, from Peter the Great to Nicholas II, and finally, the Jews, from Lenin to the present day.
I highly disagree with you at this point. Not being able to read or write in that time wasn't necessarily a sign of lack of inteligence, my grandfather for example also didn't know how to read or write (passed away without ever learning in early 2000s), that means he was a retard? Let me doubt it, I bet he was actually more intelligent than all these college educated zoomers
In Andalusia during the 50s for example half of population (including most of my bloodline) was illiterate, does it means southern spaniards are also untermensch?
No, I was just comparing Germany and Russia, because I've only studied them in detail, and I've never been interested in southern Europe. In Germany, 98% of the soldiers who were mobilized during World War I could read and write.
Brutal considering my grandfather (soldier in civil war that started much later than WW1) didn't know how to read or write and a huge percentage of population also didn't (maybe like 60% of southerns)
Where I live in the 60s and 70s most of people didn't even have cars and they used donkeys and mules as transport.
funny to see westerners being cucks even back then
