Nowadays, it is no longer possible to maintain that the Nazi-Soviet pact of 23 August 1939 was a fiction invented by bourgeois-imperialist enemies. Everyone has seen the film clips of Herr Ribbentrop landing in Moscow, and of Stalin smiling broadly as Ribbentrop and Molotov signed up side by side.

I have the feeling that this Moscow Pact will at some time or other exact vengeance upon National Socialism.

Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of 'holy alliance.'

In the early days of the Russian Revolution in 1917, I was completely in sympathy with it. I felt that it established a new era in the history of the modern world. I was so overwhelmed by it that, if people made any unfriendly comment, I would vigorously defend it. If people condemned the Communist party, I would speak in its defense.

It is absolutely unacceptable to talk to Russia - or anyone for that matter - in the language of ultimatums and coercive measures.

Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.

Bolshevism is the other end of Czarism.

In modern Russia, you have no official, formal assessment of this past. Nobody in any Russian document has said that the policy of the Soviet government was criminal, that it was terrible. No one has ever said this.

We live in a dangerous world, and Russia has not complied with existing treaties.

I was making Molotov cocktails long before I knew the name for them.
