the soviet finish war ends with finish loss. latvia, forced open in 1939 under soviet threat. on promise of friendship, moscow enters. on june 16th, 1940, the soviets issue an ultimatum. submit to occupation or be attacked. on june 17th, the red army, in direct violation, moves into complete the occupation of latvia. around russia to initiate the new order comes the public government. with august as prime minister, russian technicians are sent in with the troops. banners and signs demand admittance of law via into the soviet union. in july, the second secretary of the lothian communist party makes the formal request. the proceedings are watched carefully by the soviet secret police. there is no opposing votes. on august 3rd he leads a delegation of latvian communists. stalin and company applaud the latvian communists. in the background is his marshal. they petitioned for acceptance of lott via as a soviet state. he's speeds home to be welcomed by soviet troops has a new guard of honor. we are reminded of the night of molotov's speech in 1939. the nonsensical talk about the sov

soviet generosity.as the role of the soviet union in the creation of a popular democracy? without the unremitting kind support of the soviet union, the hungarian popular democracy and all of their popular democracies would never have been created. and quote. harping on capitalist imperialism, the red satirized alleged war mongers. in 1956, the world learned the meaning of the unrelenting support of the on soviet union. russians, go home. the hungarian people are in revolt. they succeed in overwhelming the red forces for a few days. then through ruse and treachery, capturing the hungarian freedom fighters totally unaware, the russians counterattack to end the short lived breath of hungarian freedom. >> the acts of subjugation which we have just witnessed supervised by khrushchev, it is difficult to understand this quote from stalin. the people of small nations fight needlessly of soviet oppression. if the soviet union would undertake to impress or influence small nations it would be its ideology of many.

s hollywood back on board on the anti soviet train. among those given testimony to the house un-american activities committee or to put it simply ratting out their colleagues was an actor named ronald reagan the future u.s. president was already actively participating in civic life even in those days. the north star a film about soviet collective farmers that was hailed by the academy just a couple of years earlier was now deemed anime propaganda and it screenplay writer lillian hellman was accused of being a communist sympathizer and damning label in those years suddenly all of those. film the propaganda films that were made during world war 2 were brought into question and hollywood got scared. the north star was eventually released under the name armored attack in the new version the title comrade was removed and narration comparing the nazis to the soviet soldiers who suppressed the hungaroring uprising in 1956 was at it was. how what is considered to be an independent private sector of economy a group of private companies and yet

we are reminded of an item in the speech to the soviet in 1939, the nonsensecal talk about the sovietizationhe baltic countries is only to the interest of our common enemies. the new constitution sent from moscow guarantees freedom from unreasonable arrest, unquote. however, enough reasonable charges are found to send thousands of men, women and children to slave labor kamps in the soviet union. on this list are the names of 78 people arrested by the soviet secret police. the notation at the end of the list explains the quite reasonable charges. not politically reliable, shoot them to death. the example of estonia, also a 1939 with more promises, the soviet union requests these bases, the little country exceeds. in june of 1940, the red army invades estonia. less than a month later a new communist constituent assembly holds its first session. key communists indoctrinated accept the party as their masters. typically a vote of confidence for the one-party ticket is ordered. another victory parade or a new moscow-approved public government, estonia succumbs to communist imperialism. underground

i do not believe that soviet russia desires war. what they desire is the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines. but what we have to consider here today, while time remains, is the permanent prevention of war and the establishment of conditions of freedom and democracy as rapidly as possible in all countries. our difficulties and dangers will not be removed by closing our eyes to them. they will not be removed by mere waiting to see what happens, nor will they be removed by a policy of appeasement. >> what was churchill actually point? >> it's very, very telling that a great section of the speech -- the entire speech lasted 50 minutes, in many ways, that section is one of the most important, because churchill is saying quite clearly that he does not think the soviets desire war. he is not suggesting that, but perhaps the fruits of war, and an expansion of their doctrines and power. that is the threat that churchill warned about. and he said cold war -- he said in order to do something about it, the w

in russia, i must call the soviet. and all our subjects in one form or another not only to soviet influence. but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from from moscow. and attempted being made by the russians in berlin to build up a quasi. party in their throne of occupied, germany by showing special data to groups of left-wing german leader. at the end of the fighting last june the american and british armies withdrew westward in accordance with an earlier agreement to adapt at some points of 150 miles upon the front of nearly 409 in order to allow our russian allies to occupy this vast expansive territory, which the western democracies had conquered. if now the soviet union government tries by separate action. to build up a pro germany in their areas. this will cause new serious difficulties in the american and british zones. and will give the defeated germans the power of putting themselves up to walk. between the soviet and the western democracy whatever conclusions may be drawn from these

without the soviets, the war would not have been won. it was a necessary alliance in the second world war. but in the aftermath, it really began at the yalta conference in 1975 with fdr when he was still alive, and maybe earlier at the tehran conference with the big three. there was beginning to be a fracture in the alliance, and the post-war outlook was such that who is going to be in control of the eastern european countries, central europe? churchill, for instance, very much wanted to defend poland and other countries thinking it should be a sovereign state. i think joseph stalin had other plans. churchill began to see this. after the victory and the end of the world war, churchill noticed the americans, the british went home. they sent their troops back to england. they sent their troops back to the states. joseph stalin's armies, for the most part, stayed put. they did not retreat east back to moscow, and this is what churchill called the iron curtain, which had descended across the continent. churchill sees this and warns the world

and the soviets wanted a little more time. surely saddam hussein will withdraw if we persuade him after all we are his sponsor. but baker remained strong he said you want 15 days. i'll give you half. you want another day? i'll give you no i won't give it to you. and therefore the deadlines which the us forces asked for? in early 1991 were respected despite the fact that moscow and the soviet generals would have liked more time. well besides the difficulties and tensions within this international coalition. it was though there were also some some problems at home in keeping maintaining a bipartisan consensus. in fact when you look at today's landscape the sharp divide between republicans and democrats, it's hard to imagine a time when we actually did have a bipartisan consensus on foreign policy. what what did baker spend a lot of time? soothing let's say conservative voices who were upset with the kind of diplomacy. he was conducting he knew how to do that. he had been reagan's chief of staff. he'd been secretary of the treasu

a primary tool of soviet expression is propaganda. it is through propaganda that the north koreans were prepared for their attack on south korea. between they were saturated with 1945-1949, soviet propaganda. by june of 1950, the north koreans were soviet-ized to make a fanatical onslaught against their brothers and accept the signal from moscow. soviet propaganda can also be measured by the money they spend. right now, the soviet union is spending more than a billion dollars a year on propaganda. if we add the expenditures and satellites in red china, it is $3 billion. expensive lying. the principal target of these lies is the united states. since 1948, the soviets have been carrying on a vicious propaganda attack on every phase of u.s. life. typical of the way they distort the truth, are the scenes we will see in a moment from a soviet newsreel prepared from -- east germans. four using american film, carefully edited and narrated, the soviets presented it as the truth about america.
