Myths about Stalin: Who actually said the famous phrase? 📖 It is often said that Stalin liked to repeat that every mistake has a name and a surname It is said that Stalin's cruel logic was that if there was a failure, there was a specific culprit. 📖 This is a beautiful legend, but it is just a myth. In reality, the phrase was first uttered by someone else, and the circumstances were much more prosaic. 📖 In 1940, Lazar Kaganovich, People's Commissar of Railways, reported to the leader about the success: accidents on the railways have sharply decreased. 🚂 Stalin asked: what is the secret? And Kaganovich gave out a clearly bureaucratic, but accurate formula of success: У каждой ошибки есть имя, фамилия и должность. Behind every mistake there is a name, a surname and a position. 📖 In other words, it was not a sentence, but the principle of personal responsibility, which worked for the benefit of transportation safety.
