The arch-revisionist Ulbricht provoked the uprising of the working class in the GDR with his anti-Stalinist policy
17 June 1953 was an expression of the power struggle between the Berijans and the Khrushchevites.
On 9 May 1945, the day of the victory over Hitler's Germany, Stalin declared in his appeal to the Soviet people:
"The Soviet Union celebrates victory, even though it does not set out to dismember or destroy Germany."
Stalin remained true to his appeal until his death. The revisionists betrayed him. Germany was dismembered between imperialism and social-imperialism and its German lackeys in East and West.
Decisive for Stalin's policy on Germany was the consideration of the actually existing conditions in Germany. Hitler's fascism had not collapsed under the onslaught of an anti-fascist revolution of the German people, but the fascist state, military and economic apparatus had been smashed by a "liberation from outside", i.e. by the conquest of Germany by Allied armies (not alone, mind you, but mainly by the Red Army!).
Liberation troops were only Stalin's troops. After his death they became social-imperialist occupation troops. The Anglo-American troops were never liberation troops, but imperialist occupation troops, serving the same purpose as the social-imperialist occupation troops, to extract profits from the German people and to enslave them.
Stalin was not concerned with "liberation from outside", for he did not want the replacement of the rule of German monopoly capital by American and British monopoly capital, but he was concerned with the elimination of all (revanchist) monopoly capital in Germany.
To prevent this, the Anglo-American imperialists tore Germany apart not to liberate it, but to enslave it. This is what Stalin opposed in his German policy. The decisive factor, however, was the fact that the German people did not liberate themselves, that they did not succeed in fighting for their own sovereignty, independence and freedom, their democratic rights, and in defending them against the outside world - the necessary "liberation from within" did not take place and thus the "liberation from without" had to fail. In his foreign policy, Stalin always took the stand that socialism can only be built under the dictatorship of the proletariat. This is not possible without socialist revolution. And Stalin has always adhered to this Marxist-Leninist truth - also in his policy towards Germany.
