A quite applicable reference to an article by Josef Stalin about the excesses in his agricultural collectivization program and the need to take a step back and move slower on the program. He said that the excesses had occurred because the program was so successful that the implementers became "dizzy with success". Similar to Lenin's New Economic Policy pronouncement.
I wonder how many millenials or GenZs would be aware of the meaning.

Did you like how Putin said that it was too soon for history to judge Lenin and Stalin? Let’s see...mass murderers whose ideological obsessions and manical egotism caused the deaths of millions. Yep, just too close to call.
I’m sure today’s yutes have never heard a discouraging word about the USSR. No time left after condemning the USA for its lack of “equity”.
Wow, so it is true that Putin is sending Muslim jihadists to kill Orthodox Christian Ukrainians
When did ethnicity and religion become an issue for you in war and conflict?
Damn crazy bastard wants every Russian boy dead looks like. And no one has the guts to give him an “accident.” Just wow.
Lukashenko just arrived in Sochi to meet with Putin. Putin will declare war against Ukraine by the end of the week and Lukashenko will be obligated by treaty to join Putin’s debacle.
It’ll be the most half-assed “mobilization” in history my guess.
The a**hole grew up in the KGB and never lost the mindset.
You are currently beating out BobL as the most frantic Putin ass-kisser here. And this takes some doing.
I don’t have to like Putin nor Russia, but I will certainly respect them.
Underestimating Putin or Russia is for armchair generals, propaganda peddlers, and the uninformed.
Long been against this war/conflict and still am, to include US/EU/UK/NATO involvement is said war/conflict. I will not stand idlily and let the plethora of day after day after day unmitigated pro-Ukrainian propaganda go unchecked on these forums, not while I am still an active member. Be assured.
Stalin, Pol Pot and Vlad Putin are all getting a bad rap. Blame the neocons and their globo-homos.
You left out the globo-homos. I am assured, clown.
I did not want to add ‘globo-homes’ cause that would invariably include you and ZelenskyyIdiot.
“...Long been against this war/conflict and still am, to include US/EU/UK/NATO involvement is said war/conflict.”
But you are not against Russian involvement. So telling.
#30. Are you sure? There are so many hardcore Putin fans trying hard to be #1.
Or else kill them, Comrade Bob!
😆😂🤣 A bit more than mild. LOL
So many questions on Russian strategy.
Putin and his Generals really should read up on Israeli tactics.
