One has to develop the idea of combining healthy and properly understood nationalism with proletarian internationalism. Proletarian internationalism must be based on this nationalism in the individual states. Comrade Stalin has declared that there can be no contradiction between properly understood nationalism and proletarian internationalism. A homeless cosmopolitanism that negates national feelings and the idea of home has nothing in common with proletarian internationalism.
National nihilism is a manifestation of the antipatriotic ideology of bourgeois cosmopolitanism, disrespect for the national pride and the national dignity of peoples.
National nihilism in our conditions is a form of struggle chosen by rootless-cosmopolitans against Soviet patriotism, against Soviet culture (national in form, socialist in content); it is a display of their cringing before bourgeois culture. In this way, national nihilism with its attitude towards the Great Russian people and the other peoples of our nation, time and again was linked [in the minds of] rootless cosmopolitans with bourgeois nationalism, which today is inseparably tied with the cosmopolitan ideology of the imperialist bourgeoisie.
