Take the newspaper Vlast Truda, for example, organ of the Irkutsk Okrug Party Committee and Okrug Soviet Executive Committee (No. 128). There you will find a whole page peppered all over with ostentatious "slogans," such as: "Sexual Promiscuity—a Bourgeois Vice"; "One Glass Leads to Another"; "Own Cottage Calls for Own Cow"; "Double-Bed Bandits"; "A Shot That Misfired," and so on and so forth. What, one asks, can there be in common between these "critical" shrieks, which are worthy of Birzhovka, 4 and Bolshevik self-criticism, the purpose of which is to improve our socialist construction? It is very possible that the author of these ostentatious items is a Communist. It is possible that he is burning with hatred of the "class enemies" of the Soviet regime. But that he is straying from the right path, that he is vulgarising the slogan of self-criticism, and that his voice is the voice not of our class, of that there cannot be any doubt.
Also, nothing in any of his writings mentioning "homosexual" or "sodomy". This is one of a couple instances where he even mentioned sexuality.
People seem to forget that Stalin wasn't a dictator or a king. He was a representative of the revolution and worked hard to understand what it was the people actually needed. He was surrounded by people who were homophobic, conservative, and reactionary. Even if he personally felt certain ways, he never made that a position that he stood by as he knew that was not a materialist way of representing working class interests.
Here's the other mention of sexuality:
The tsarist government took advantage of the defeat of the revolution to enlist the more cowardly and self-seeking fellow-travelers of the revolution as agents-provocateurs. These vile Judases were sent by the tsarist Okhrana into the working class and Party organizations, where they spied from within and betrayed revolutionaries.
The offensive of the counter-revolution was waged on the ideological front as well. There appeared a whole horde of fashionable writers who "criticized" Marxism, and "demolished" it, mocked and scoffed at the revolution, extolled treachery, and lauded sexual depravity under the guise of the "cult of individuality."
In the realm of philosophy increasing attempts were made to "criticize" and revise Marxism; there also appeared all sorts of religious trends camouflaged by pseudo-scientific theories.
He doesn't expand on what is meant by "sexual depravity", but he spends the rest of the chapter talking about the importance of dialectical materialism and avoiding pseudo scientific theories. I think it might be about some sort of cult thing? I'm thinking of some cults in America (eg. Oneida) that ignored Marxism in favor of like weird sexual liberation stuff that ended with the leader of the cult impregnating most of the women.
Stalin good.

during the sexual encounter there must be a remembrance of Stalin
