Winston Churchill wasn't perfect, but he was spot on in his assessment of how far the western allies could trust the USSR.
Are you aware that the USSR doesn’t exist anymore ? The Russians tried Bolshevik socialism/communism and empire and abandoned both peacefully.
That is the first that I heard that the transition from the Imperial Russian Empire to the UUSR via the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 thru 1923 was peaceful. i have always read that it was a bloody and brutal civil war.
