Do NOT pitch the idea that Moscow was any kind of innocent. Yeltsin exposed to the entire world's press -- a generation ago -- that Stalin initiated WWII in Europe via his Contract for War... aka the R-M Pact. Stalin schemed to 'aim' Adolf against the West so that WW 2.0 would bleed both Germany and France and Belgium and Britain to death -- so that the Bolsheviks could roll in and conquer all of Europe when the time was ripe.
After the Soviet State Archives were produced for the press, the facts were plain. The invasion of Poland was actually Stalin's idea. (!!!)
Sure, Adolf wanted to conquer the world. He was so bloody minded that he had Rippy sign ANYTHING that Stalin crafted. Hence, the Nazis had to settle for a 'carbon copy' of the Pact. This was not a negotiated treaty. Stalin merely drafted what he wanted, and the Nazis signed off -- without modifying any portion of the Pact. (!!!)
Stalin selected the invasion date as September 1st -- and then sand-bagged Berlin with excuses so that the entire onus would land on the Nazi state. And it WORKED. To this very hour, the average history buff still believes the wartime propaganda that Moscow was an innocent party.
Stalin went so far as to personally select the division line within Poland -- with his own fat crayon! The Nazis didn't decide the partition at all. (!!!)
How did the Press take Yeltsin's revelations? Not well at all. Virtually every press-man attending was a true believer in Bolshevism. That's why they had themselves posted to Moscow in the first place. The Leftist bent of the Big Media is still omnipresent. The Press loves Big Government -- across the board -- because it always means lifetime employment for their craft, for the brotherhood. Private industry has scant need for press-men to shoot their mouths off every 6:00 PM; 11:00 PM. Monopolistic, narcissic, Big Government just HAS to fill the news hole. It's always lobbying for self expansion.
After the conquest of Poland, Stalin extended the Bolshevik version of LendLease aid to Adolf. Without Soviet oil, the Battle of Britain could never have been flown. Naturally, historians refuse to set this naughty fact into print. The Nazi state, critically short of gasoline, avgas in particular, suddenly finds itself able to mount a very thirsty strategic air campaign. Imagine that! Without Stalin's oil, Adolf could not have fueled up Barbarossa. Yup! All through 1940-41 the Nazis were building strategic oil reserves at a frantic pace just to hold Soviet oil. Knowing that this stash would run dry is exactly why the Nazis were in a total panic to crush the USSR in one combat season. (1941) In the event, it, the stash, ran out just east of Moscow.
