But Mao did venerate Stalin and regarded the U. S. S. R as a bigger communist brother. Reason mao even declared a national day of mourning for Stalin when Stalin died. WTF? lol mao also chastised Russia's leaders who replaced Stalin, since Russia's new leaders rightly denounced all Stalin's crimes against Russian civilians and his rule by fear /terror /cult personality he had imposed, something mao took as an attack against him as well. lol
Funny thing is, the U. S. S. R caused farrrr more damage to china than any western power or even Japan. Aftetall, most of the land /territory China lost was to the U. S. S. R, or due to the U. S. S. R
Nope, Mao's most respected communist ideologists were Marx and Lenin, while his view towards Stalin was actually mixed.
Mao did acknowledge Stalin's great contribution for the industrialization of USSR which served as a great role model for the communist world. However, Mao did express the strong personal dislike towards Stalin's imperialism attitude towards China, and he caused China to lose Outer Mongolia.
PRC was weak during early years, so we had to appease Stalin, we had no choice, but later we managed to break the bound from USSR.
