HUNGARIAN MONTHLY

November, 1987

Food was scarce, creating some discontent in certain groups who had not found enough calories in Communist theories. The Party had a simple and effective method to create more food per capita.

When the Party finished, there were ten million fewer dissatisfied people.

Freedom of the press was strictly enforced.

Religious freedom was applied equally to every church.

Diplomatic acceptance gave the Soviets an opportunity to call for the laborers of the world to unite. The laborers of the Soviet Union, of course, were already united.

The Iron Curtain stayed closed. Behind it, in a friendly manner, family . quarrels were settled, and settled, and settled again.

Sometimes the hand of justice had to reach, far out, even abroad. But most of the delinquents were within easy reach.

After the public trials of the fallen leaders, thousands of their faithful followed them without any publicity—from there to eternity.

In 1939 a wonderful opportunity for world peace came from the most unexpected source. Although the Soviets opposed Fascist dictatorship and imperialism, they saw a means which could be used to further the ultimate triumph of the Communist brand of Socialism. A mutual non-aggression agreement was made with Hitler.

Hitler invaded Poland and the Soviets moved in to prevent the Nazis from taking over the whole country. The Soviets murdered some 11,000 Polish officers and intellectuals at Katyn Forest and peace and order were established in Poland, for a while.

Much impressed, the outside world did not hesitate to accept the new Russia into its ranks. And the new Russia did not hesitate to spread its good will to the rest of the world.
