Vyacheslav Mikhaylovich Molotov: The October Revolution marked the beginning of the collapse of the capitalist system but for nearly three decades the Soviet Union was the sole Socialist country. After the Second world war there fell away from capitalism such European countries as Poland, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania, Yugoslavia. In the dependent and colonial countries the movement for national liberation is making giant strides. In spite of all obstacles, the democratic forces are growing and becoming tempered in the struggle against the forces of reaction in the capitalist countries. The international prestige of the USSR is continuously growing as the main bulwark of the democratic and anti-imperialist camp opposed to the camp of imperialism and aggression. Under the great banner of Lenin and Stalin our people are marching forward, looking back with satisfaction on the past years of heroic struggle and glorious victories and full of confidence in their future. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
