	Soviet Far East Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1938 Front forces - seemingly the Soviet 32nd Rifle Division of 39th Rifle Corps - engaged the Japanese at the Battle of Lake Khasan.
		On August 19, the Far East Front continued its routing of the Kantogun army by capturing Harbin and Mukden.
		On August 5, 1945, the Front was reorganized as the 2nd Far Eastern Front.

	CNN Cold War - Historical Document: CIA Weekly Summaries
		The Soviet representative defended the veto largely on the grounds that the proposed ending of the blockade and the introduction of the Soviet currency in Berlin were not to be simultaneous.
		Soviet action in eastern Germany during the past three months indicates that the Kremlin is accelerating preparations which would permit the establishment of an eastern German government capable of assuring Soviet domination with or without the support of Soviet occupation troops.
		Soviet measures to curtail the movement of supplies from Soviet-controlled territory to the western sectors will increase the hardships of the western population, further impair the west sector economy, and probably require an increase in the airlift.

	Library of Congress / Federal Research Division / Country Studies / Area Handbook Series / Soviet Union / Appendix C
		The Soviet Union claimed that the creation of the Warsaw Pact was in direct response to the inclusion of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in NATO in 1955.
		The Soviet Union was unable to conceal the fact that the alliance served as the ultimate mechanism for its control of Eastern Europe.
		The Soviet Union resorted to occasional propaganda offensives, accusing West Germany of revanchism and aggressive intentions in Eastern Europe, to remind its allies of their ultimate dependence on Soviet protection and to reinforce the Warsaw Pact's cohesion against the attraction of good relations with the West.

	Anne Applebaum -- Between East and West Intro
		East of Poland, West of Russia, their lack of mountains, seas, deserts and canyons has always made the borderlands easy to conquer.
		Soviet historians wrote Poles and Germans out of history books, as if they had never been there at all, and embarked on a program of renaming cities: Konigsberg became Kaliningrad, Wilno became Vilnius, the Polish-Ukrainian city of Lvov became L'viv.
		Equally, the Soviet era could not be erased: however artificial, hatreds implanted in both the Russian colonisers and the non-Russian colonies during the seventy years of Soviet power remained.

	Soviet Military Power - 1984
		Soviet ballistic missiles, rockets, nuclear-capable aircraft and artillery could all be employed in a massed strike against a set of targets beginning at the battle line and extending to the depth of the theater.
		Soviet air forces in the Western TVD have by far the highest percentage of modern aircraft - over 90 percent of their inventory - because the Soviets perceive that this TVD faces the strongest enemy and the most dense and complicated target array.
		Soviet forces for operations in the Far East are composed of 52 tank and motorized rifle divisions.

	Inside a Key Russian Radar Site: Tour Raises Questions on Treaty
		Yevgeni P. Velikhov, vice president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and leader of the Soviet group that accompanied the American delegation today, said the decision to allow the visit was made by the Politburo, the highest decisionmaking body of the Communist Party.
		Soviet officials said no electrical power was generated at the site -which appeared to be true.
		Kokoshin, of the United States and Canada Institute, noted that the Soviet Union still considers large American phased-array radars being upgraded in Britain and Greenland to be violations of the ABM treaty.

	Soviet Military Power - 1983
		To further this aim, the Soviets' policy is to modernize and strengthen their military capabilities, promote dependence upon the USSR, expand ties with sympathetic pro-Soviet elements, orchestrate anti-Western propaganda and obtain access to strategic port and air facilities in the nations of the Indian Ocean basin.
		The Soviets' political goals are to improve relations with the PRC at the expense of US/PRC ties, to prevent Japan from increasing its contribution to Western security, to unify Korea under communist rule, and to expand Soviet influence in Southeast Asia.
		Soviet forces in the Western Theater are those that pose the most direct threat to NATO and encompass all forces located primarily in the Western USSR and Eastern Europe.

	The Public Eye: Website of Political Research Associates
		Far from being a national reaction against Hitler, the July 20 conspiracy was actually the work of a relatively small number of individuals who were not necessarily inspired by lofty ideals.
		As far as America's intelligence chiefs were concerned, it didn't really matter where these ex-Nazis stood with respect to the July 20 debacle as long as they were steadfastly anti-Communist.
		The growing clout of far Right political parties in Europe; the emergence of a "Red-Brown" alliance in Russia; the rise of the U.S. militia movement; the mounting pattern of violence against refugees, immigrants, guest workers, asylum-seekers, and racial minorities throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere--all are manifestations of a widespread neofascist resurgence.

	Gendercide Watch: Soviet Prisoners-of-War
		The Soviet armies had been decimated by the prewar purges in their ranks, and they crumbled in the face of the Nazi onslaught.
		Because of the physical exertion of the marches, the meager diet and poor conditions in the quarters in individual camps, prisoners of war often break down, are then carried by their fellow-soldiers [see the photo at the beginning of this document] or are left lying.
		The Soviets stopped the Nazi armies at Moscow in December 1941 and eventually gained the upper hand at the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-43) and the Battle of Kursk (July 1943).

	WWW.SIMONOV.NET - SKS & THE COLD WAR
		East Germany was strategically significant to the USSR because of it's geographic position: directly in the center of Europe.
		East Germany is a thorn in the side of the sworn enemy of Communism, the West.
		In this situation, the Soviet government knew the only way to keep control over, and force their will, on the people was to restrict private gun ownership and proliferate weapons amongst government agencies.

	"The Great Patriotic War"
		This was particularly true of growth in the vast region east of Lake Baikal: (to quote myself) by the end of the decade the Soviet Far East didn't have an army, it was an army.
		Soviet transport and industry were by no means the only areas affected by creeping militarization in the 1930s.
		Soviet military strategists flirted briefly with dirigibles (at one time there were plans to link Leningrad and Vladivostok via passenger zepplins that could be fitted with bomb bays) but quickly abandoned them in favor of heavier-than-air craft.

	IISH Middle East & Central Asia Department - History and Activities
		The activities of the Middle East and Central Asia sector of the Institute began in 1995.
		Additionally, a collection from the archived documents of the Soviet government is available which outlines the Soviet state policy towards Iran and Afghanistan, and contains new information about the lives of Iranian refugees living in the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics from the establishment of the Soviet government in 1917 to 1960.
		One of the newest regions which has attracted attention of the Middle East and Central Asian section of the institute is Afghanistan, its experiences of more than twenty years of civil war, and the widespread migration of its citizens to neighbouring countries (mainly Iran, Pakistan, and the republics of the former Soviet Union).

	Soviet Craft - Luna
		The lower end of the station was oriented towards the sun, which was shining on the far side of the moon.
		This mission was an attempt to duplicate the Luna 3 achievement of photographing the far side of the moon, but it had the goal of passing closer to the lunar surface with higher resolution cameras.
		The primary objectives of the mission were to collect images of the lunar surface, examine ambient light levels to determine the feasibility of astronomical observations from the moon, perform laser ranging experiments from Earth, observe solar X-rays, measure local magnetic fields, and study mechanical properties of the lunar surface material.

	EAST FRONT
		East Front also manages to hold one's attention in the areas of supply, command control and attrition.
		Granted, the numerous special rules move East Front a way up the complexity scale (and you really can't ignore them) but most of the time it is head to head in the trenches with a handful of dice and the rules are quickly committed to memory.
		East Front is a model of games design; it is polished, extensively developed and introduces a number of novel but solid systems.

	[No title]
		During the first two years or so--from 1985 until at least the end of 1986--the conventional wisdom in the West was that Gorbachev had introduced a change of style and that, in so far as he was a reformer, he was one of a technocratic type.
		The Kipillers and dozens of other refugees from the former Soviet Union celebrated their 15th anniversary in Pittsburgh on Saturday at a boisterous gathering where Russian was still the predominant language and satisfaction with their lives here the principal theme.
		For several decades the Soviet military-industrial complex was the major supplier of weapons and supporting systems for use in the Soviet Union, the other countries of the Warsaw Pact, and many countries in other regions.

	SovietCollapse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sovietization was slower in countries like East Germany because Stalin hoped to use its "neutrality" as a vehicle for bringing about the unification of Germany under socialist control.
		And the communist parties were modeled on the Soviet party in organization and operation, except that they often took their lead from Moscow through the Cominform or Comecon.
		Looking back on the era of Soviet control in Eastern Europe from the 2000, it is clear that Russian domination made an important imprint on this area, an imprint that benefited the West to some extent.

	Asia Times Online :: Middle East News - Washington's Sunni outlook
		A secondary aim of such a consensus was to contain a revolutionary Iran and an Iran-Iraq War that, in the words of the most prominent advocate of "strategic consensus", then-secretary of state Alexander Haig, had exposed "deeply rooted rivalries and historic animosities".
		While it appears clear that the Arabs are indeed concerned about Iran's increased influence in the region, most experts here believe that Washington is exaggerating their willingness to confront Iran, particularly in conjunction with the US and Israel.
		Joe Stork, a specialist on Middle East foreign policy specialist who works for Human Rights Watch, noted: "Palestine has been the deal-breaker in forming a 'strategic consensus' from the Baghdad Pact period of the 1950s through the '70s, '80s, '90s and now into the 21st century.

	International Support for Iraqi Democracy
		He was going off to meet with Mikhail Gorbachev that December and it seems like a lifetime ago that there was actually a Soviet Union and that the big challenge was to rid the continent of Europe of Communism and the tyranny therein.
		I can tell you that back in January, when the elections took place, it was principally coalition forces that provided the security and the Iraqis provided some security and indeed they helped a lot, and one thing that General Casey was very proud of was that they stayed their ground.
		There is no politics in which they would be involved because their view of the Middle East is 180 degrees different than the view of the Middle East that most of the region has.

	The Soviet Paradise
		The exhibition's organizers often had the feeling that their portrayal of conditions in the Soviet Union was far from accurate.
		Further proof that the Soviet state belongs to the Jews is the fact that the people are ruthlessly sacrificed for the goals of the Jewish world revolution.
		Our battle is to free the East, along with its vast and inexhaustible riches and agricultural resources, and to save Europe from the nightmare that has threatened it for millennia.

		Please note that the geographic directions east and west are reversed on the far side.

		While this projection may be slightly confusing at first, please note that objects appear closer to their actual shape, i.e., craters appear circular, rather than compressed, as you approach the edges of the photomap.

	The Battle in the East
		We hold the territory that is the agricultural heartland of the Soviet Union, and also hold areas critical to the Soviet war leadership.
		The resulting impact on the Soviet civilian population is reported by Watson Jones, another English reporter returning from the Soviet Union.
		That is doubtless the beginning of one of the notorious Soviet "cleansing actions" that the new Soviet terror organization, the NKWD, will take up now that the GPU had to be eliminated when it became too notorious, as had the Cheka before it.

	Tiger Tour to the Russian Far East
		In April 2006, Steppes Travel, in conjunction with the conservation charity AMUR, is arranging an exploratory eco-tour to the Russian Far East.
		This part of the Russian Far East is a unique place in the world where the cold northern climate meets the humid southern one — creating a region that is semitropical in the summer and snowbound in the winter.
		Numbers increased to 500-600, until a poaching epidemic started in the early nineties when the Soviet Union collapsed and borders opened with neighbouring Asian countries, where tiger parts are in high demand for use in traditional medicines.

	The Killing Train: Europe (East and SouthEast) Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The point is not about the promotion of democracy in the former Soviet bloc, but identifying which leader will best represent US strategic and economic interests in the region and offering their regime full ideological support.
		The sentiment in much of the former Soviet east, and in those portions of the Ukraine that voted for Yanukovych, is that US policy makers are seeking to continue the Cold War conservative project of seeking to impose the dominion of a morally superior ‘civilization’ over the peoples of the 'Asiatic' east.
		This marks a noticeable expansion of NATO into the Middle East and North Africa that began with the establishment of the Alliance’s ‘Mediterranean Dialogue’ in 1994.

	Dutch fears of Japan in the Netherlands' East Indies
		The shipping war, which began this month (June 1935) between Japan and the Netherlands East Indies is symptomatic of the relations between the Dutch and the Japanese in Asia.
		Since the Japanese entered Manchuria and continued their legion and ruthless path towards expansion, the Dutch are questioning the security of their Empire in the Far East in face of the rapid growth of Japanese naval and military forces and of the passionate flourishing of Japanese nationalism.
		States may have left the Philippines and when Japan’s position in the Far East already dominant, will be completely unchallenged and will enable her to advance almost with impunity towards the South.

		The scenes at Unit A1479 provide a glimpse of a dangerous legacy of the militarized Soviet state, one that has emerged as a risk to post-Soviet states and to nations far away, endangering local environments and communities, as well as providing a reservoir of lethal materials for terrorists and armed groups.
		Huge depots of conventional weapons and ammunition remain in much of the former Soviet borderland, many of them vulnerable to the elements, inadequately secured or watched over by security agencies with histories of corruption and suspicious arms sales.
		NATO and the Ukrainian military estimate that Soviet soldiers left 2.5 million tons of conventional munitions in Ukraine as they withdrew from Europe, as well as more than 7 million rifles, pistols, mortars and machine guns.

	Workers World Aug. 5, 1999: Middle East 'peace offensive'
		Under the 1995 Oslo agreement, far more territory--generally understood to be 70 percent to 80 percent of the West Bank, as well as most of Gaza--was to have been turned over to the Palestinian Authority in three stages ending in June 1998.
		Palestinian East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, along with the Golan Heights, were conquered by Israel in 1967.
		But it is in the Middle East, which holds two-thirds of the world's petroleum reserves, that Israel's role is most critical from Washington and Wall Street's perspective.
