SOURCE C In four years of Civil War, we were obliged to display liberalism towards the republics. As a result, we helped to form hard-line 'social-independentists' among them, who regard the Central Committee's decisions as simply being Moscow's. If we do not transform them into 'autonomies' immediately, the unity of the soviet republics is a lost cause. We are now busy bothering about how not to offend these nationalities. But if we carry on like this, in a year's time we'll be verging on the break-up of the party. Stalin quoted in Moshe Lewin, The Soviet Century, 2005 STUDENT STUDY SECTION QUESTIONS a) What did Stalin mean by suggesting the republics considered the Central Committee's decisions as 'simply being Moscow's'? b) What does this source tell you about how Stalin behaved as Commissar for Nationalities?
