斯大林同志在一九二八年蘇聯列寧共產主義青年團第八次代表大會上號召蘇聯青年“向科学作羣众性的進軍”。他說: “我們面前有一個堡壘。這個堡壘叫作科學,它有許多許多的知識部门。這個堡壘我們不管怎樣要把它拿下來。青年應當把它拿下來,如果他們願意成為新生活底建設者的話,如果他們願意成為老警衛軍底真正替換者的話。” Comrade Stalin called on Soviet young people to “make a scientific march toward the masses” at the Eighth Congress of the Lenin Communist Youth League of the Soviet Union in 1928. He said: “We have a fortress before us. This fortress is called science. It has many and many knowledge departments. We must take this fortress anyway. Youth should take it down if they are willing to become a new life building.” If they are willing to become true replacements for the old guards."
