1939

To the north, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were enjoying freedom from the Russian yoke—though their joy was frequently disturbed by nightmares.

The Soviets soon made those dreams come true. Since they were unacquainted with the Soviet way of life, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were given a concentrated course to catch up with it

1944

Encouraged by the Soviets, the people of Warsaw revolted against Hitler’s bloody tyranny. Hitler reacted with all of his mad fury. Because it could not bear to watch the awful sight, the Soviet Army stopped short of Warsaw for more than two months until the carnage was ended.

Peaceful coexistence has its economic side too. Vigorous import-export activities began immediately after liberation. Trains, loaded with goods and goodies, rolled back and forth between the Soviet Union and the countries, bringing the benefits of the great Soviet culture and civilization, and much needed economic aid.

The heroic Red Army took every opportunity to spread culture and persuade the newly liberated peoples to give up immoral capitalism. Much was accomplished for when one begins to liberate, it’s hard to stop.

Technology was far from ignored in the Soviet Union. A miracle machine was built. It worked on the principle of automation: namely, non-thinking machines can eliminate thinking people, just an updating of the old philosophy “the end justifies the means.”

They developed industries in these countries and solved the problem of marketing by milking these industries of most of their products.

For those inside the party. Communism, since its beginning, lias followed a straight party line. It only looks crooked from the outside.
