stalin has agreed to tehran. there are two thoughts. first he has to get to tehran right away and scope out the place and the second he has to go looking for a map. he has no idea what country it is even in. meanwhile, as he is finding out in this meeting taking place, they are finding out approximately the same time. the sky is a walk in, and interesting operative in intelligence circles. everyone dislikes him. he comes to you bearing gifts you didn't ask for and you don't know why he's bringing you this information. is it ego, money, or -- he's the most suspicious. is he a double agent, did he bring this information to send you on the wrong path? then a man comes about 5-foot three. each night when he goes to sleep there is a key and he can get code and diplomatic traffic. he wants 20,000 british pounds worth about a million dollars today. they can't quite make up their mind what to do. he's asking for a lot of money. finally the head of the special cloak and dagger operations decides this is counterfeit money and they have been toget

for example, the ukrainian partisans were actually directed by stalin, the boss. they should conduct a raid down to the carpathian mountains. this would be a unit involving something like 700 partisans, a substantial number of arms, mortars, light machine guns, to draw out the germans away to chase them. that was the idea of the raid, as opposed to the sabotage. so, those are the three things, for example, that the partisans did in support of the army itself. the other thing the partisans did is they represented the government of the soviet union to the people behind the lines. for example, one of the directives, by the way, as an aside -- over again to my display. you will note a number of weapons on this other display. most of them are german. one of them is italian, an axis ally, or an ally of the germans. even the belt buckle is german. the point is that the directive was that we were supposed to be self-sufficient. in terms of getting arms, one way to do it was to capture them from the germans. we used the germans' supply chain to supply the partisans, even i

the the result ready eastern europe practically in the hands of the soviet union stalin was under in control of much of the continent and there was very little the western powers to do about that. all they could really talk about was the future of germany and much of watch transpired there actually took place and could be seen as the foundation of the modern german state they had a list of several things all of which began with d.d. not sophistication democratisation decentralisation but there is another word division that hadn't been planned the soviets and the western powers simply couldn't work together and ended up not being able to as they hoped. administer the country together and so they ended up dividing the country into 2 it's been 75 years since the end of the conference why is it still relevant today well. obviously were momentous geo political decisions made there concerning not only countries like poland which had completely new borders drawn for it and for japan during the conference president truman learned of the existence of the success of the atomic bomb and. at the

when khrushchev secret speech attacked stalin and 56 the chinese was horrified because stalin was there great leader and believed in him and could not understand why he would commit that heresy. so the general secretary of the chinese communist party. the chairman of the military commission the military wing of the party. and president of china. when you understand that and then once again becoming the central theme. it is very formidable. they don't follow any rules. they can steal and sheet. and then the gigantic bold type. so shame on you. so with the flashpoint particularly over taiwan. with the real exchange of combat. i worry about that escalating on both sides. and then to be so shocked. but it is the most difficult challenge for us to think about how do we get to a world and 40 or 50 years from now and then have minimum conflict. one of the most important questions they have asked. >> it is a question of our time. mr. speaker it has been a delight to have you with us. thank you so much. thank you for writing yet another. >> the reagan library is a national treasure and the extra

conference an intact piece like this didn't exist in rwanda potsdam in july 945 around it joseph stalin how the truman and winston churchill shaped a new germany. in meissen. they were broadly in agreement on most points like the democratization and centralization of germany as well as it. but there was a different understanding of things in east and west. the exhibition at palace shows not only the historic venue but also the consequences of the conference for germany europe and the world in potsdam stalin's plan to shift poland territorially to the west was signed off resulting in the displacement of millions of poles and germans. inst us it was important for us to show that only a handful of people really only 3 along with their advisors decided the fate of millions who had no say they just had to do what was agreed to. is today it's clear the potsdam conference signaled the start of the cold war as the big 3 smiled for the camera the weapons race had already begun. every year there's a feeding frenzy in south africa as large shoals of sardines migrate of the country's eastern coast

and churchill and he told stalin about the bomb, and stalin took it lightly and sort of nodded and said, i hope you make good use of it. grandpa got suspicious right then and there that he was very nonchalant about it. edward: that leads to a question from jeff. he says, i'm curious about the reaction and response of the soviets in the dropping of the bomb. it is my understanding that stalin was hoping to be involved in the invasion of japan in hopes of splitting it into separate spheres like postwar or many. was there any communication between truman and the soviets or any of the other allied powers before or after the dropping of the bombs? clifton: that is a question that start, whenn they they go on discussing whether or not the bombs were necessary or if it was cruel, or specifically whether it was a gambit to keep the soviets from gaining influence in japan. because we had come of soviets agreed to go to war with japan. they were fighting the japanese on the mainland, and the bombs were set off. they were engaging the japanese army on the continent, and the bombs were dropped on t

when khrushchev's secret speech attacked stalin in '56, the chinese were horrified because stalin was their great leader, and they believed in him. they couldn't understand why, you know, khrushchev would do heresy. xi jinping is the general secretary of the chinese communist party. that's the base of his party. he is the chairman of the military commission of the people's liberation army which is the military wig of the party. -- wing of the party, not the government. it's not a government army. and he's president of china. which is his least important job. now, when you understand that and you understand that in their mind they have left essentially humiliation in once again essentially becoming the middle kingdom, it's very formidable. a billion people that work hard and are smart, they don't follow any rules that we understand. so if they can cheat and steal, they will. it's caveat emptor in giant bold type. if we can steal from you, we will, and it's your fault from not having stopped us from stealing, so shame on you. that's what we're up against. and i can't i can imagine a fla

but if you use stalin. >> that stalin dominated foreign-policy in the reciprocity of the soviet uniontween 1924 and his death in 23 and his legacy unfortunately continues those practices it was the renunciation of stalin by khrushchev in 1956 for everything we had always said about the soviet union. not everything but not to justify. >> but khrushchev was our opportunity for him to denounce stalin and actually with the flights eisenhower had while examining everything in the soviet union they went to apologize. instead of apologize he did and the cold war continued. every chance there was in fact with the burns communiquÉ he brought back there was a combination with the dixiecrat's i think we pretty much told the russians the capitalists have not agreed to everything and then we can carry the russians and the japanese we could isolate them. >> 289 bombs were brought into cuba i simply find this a fantasy. >> what you want me to say about this? >> anything in here you remember of note? >> do you find you do forget? >> sure. my sister. >>cspan: montana go ahead. >> yes. i am on my secon

after times here we're going on the ground 75 years to the day joseph stalin winston churchill come about the and harry truman met in potsdam germany to establish a new post world war 2 world coming up in the show the longest war up to 945 could the storing of interrupt talks of a prisoner transfer threaten a resurgence of the u.s. is longest war which followed u.s. u.k. support for islam is fighting we ask about if there prioritizing prisoners of the peace and if the 2020 u.s. presidential election could make a historic agreement a thing of the past in the wake of major nation media stories about russian bounties. just fake news by donald trump and his nato nations just because he's socialism to recover from coronavirus we investigate the people's republic of b. and other corporations arguably using the tools of socialism to benefit from covert 19 dollars a ball coming up in today's going underground 1st today 75 years ago the world was carved up in a bombed out germany it's estimated that 27000000 russians sacrificed their lives for a victory against nazi germany here is how you case a

when you clearly have people of accepted a lenin and stalin maoist view of how to organize and how to treat other people, you clearly have people who despise america. when you refuse to stand for the national anthem, it's not because you are repudiating racism, it's because you are repudiating the united states and job a lot of that. you're the surprisingly large number of people today, it's almost like the radical generation of the '60s that has now had almost 50 years to grow and strengthen and gather more force. so in that sense i think we are in a very deep cultural war, which will many ways affect -- over the next half century. >> in fact, i look pretty closely and i think that you turned the book into your publisher early, mid-march as the pandemic had struck in a major way. so this book was written pre-george floyd. >> we do have a chapter in their on poverty and a chapter of the big cities that relates to this. we probably don't have as strong a chapter as we should have on the question of race in america. but again i don't -- i had to reduce i didn't redo the book one for cov

that my understanding stalin was hoping to be involved in invading japan. that is a question that comes when they go on discussing whether or not the bombs were cruel, oror if it was specifically whether it was a gambit to keep the soviets from gaining influence in japan. the soviets had agreed to go to war with japan. they were fighting the japanese on the mainland, and the bombs .ere set off they were engaging the japanese continent, and the bombs were dropped on the japanese islands. some of the latest scholarship i waseve is that the war brought to a swift conclusion because of the double whammy of the bombs and the soviet army coming in and engaging troops on the continent. it was just too much, it was overwhelming. not --dfather did because of the relationship with the soviets, we talked about it, it was complicated, they were allies and we could trust them you'd but we -- trust them. but we knew very well what stalin could do, taking over various territories before and after the war. but i don't think grandpa used the weapon to stop the soviets. ther

the roots of the movement can be traced back to the soviet union following the death of stalin in 1953 his successor nikita khrushchev launched a series of political reforms in 1956 he condemned some of those crimes committed under stalin and the cult of personality that had surrounded him. seizing the opportunity and electros in hungary poland and other communist countries in eastern europe encouraged uprisings in hope of bringing about reforms the soviet union responded by dispatching its military to crush the opposition. mounted dome was wary about the prospect of similar events in china he cracked down on intellectuals who criticized the party and branded over half a 1000000 people as right wing radicals. they are and while i was among them he was removed from his position as supervisor of a major development project and forced to work on the construction site for a year after her father was branded a rightist also suffered repercussions. oh national washouts when i was in junior high school i got into quarrels with my classmates they called me a little rightist. i got back at my c

it's a very ugly phrase that's been used by, you know-- used by stalin, used by hitler, you know, used during the french revolution to justify the beheadings of people, by guillotine. >> talk a little bit more about that. that's one of the most interesting parts of the book is unpacking that phrase and you do that at some length in a couple of chapters and really, you know, go through what a noxious phrase that is, if you look back at the history of it. but talk about that a little bit. >> i spent some time looking through the origins of the phrase and it was used quite prominently during the french revolution. that's really the most significant place. >> people got beheaded as a result. >> and the, you know, and basically the justification was-- the people that were targeted by the law under which they were found guilty and beheaded, the actual law uses that phrase, enemy of the people. and i go through and i document. i document the use of it during the rein of terror when blood was flowing in the streets of paris. and then the other place that-- the next place i saw it was wi with--

remember we talked about josef stalin and some of you discussed stalin on your exams, how the communists got involved in african-american civil rights activity in the 1960's question mark this is the shadow of this. -- 1960's? this is the shadow of this. this is, if you will, the mirror opposite of it. in other words, when people began to be involved in civil rights activity in the 1950's and 1960's, it was very easy for the opposition to say what? these people are communists. it was very easy for the opposition to make the communist argument. and this was going to be very powerful and as you can see, arkansas state law in 1958 -- anybody who knows anything about the naacp would be hard pressed to imagine the naacp is the captive of the international communist conspiracy, but nonetheless that's the law that was going to be passed in 1958. and it was passed for a specific reason. most of the naacp members in arkansas at that time were school teachers, were black school teachers, and this law was seen as a way of making sure that they would no longer be involved in civil rights work, that
