Most of us manage the fateful things that happen in our lives the best we can, certainly not to a Stalin-like 20-year plan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We became convinced that, regardless of Stalin's awful brutality and his reign of terror, he was a great war leader. Without Stalin, they never would have held.
It was wrong to allow Stalin to shape the European landscape of the 20th century. It would be even more wrong to let him shape the landscape of the 21st century.
We both agreed that Stalin was determined to hold out against the Germans. He told us he'd never let them get to Moscow. But if he was wrong, they'd go back to the Urals and fight. They'd never surrender.
Stalin's policies pushed the world into the Cold War. Putin has the potential to be equally as dangerous.
Even now we feel that Stalin was devoted to Communism, he was a Marxist, this cannot and should not be denied.
We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
Not only the priceless heritage of our fathers, of our seamen, of our Empire builders is being thrown away in a war that serves no British interests - but our alliance leader Stalin dreams of nothing but the destruction of that heritage of our fathers?
Show me where Stalin is buried and I'll show you a Communist Plot.
I thought that in general we in the United States were too optimistic in believing that the Soviets might alter what had been for a long time, as a matter of fact for centuries, fundamental Russian policies in respect to the rest of the world.
You can't plan anything, right? You can try.
