General Galaktionov:
"The Soviet Union has always talked for peace and against races in armament. The policy of the Soviet Union was always constant in this line. It was proved by several facts that the Soviet Union proposed seven times general dis. armament for all countries. If, however, the Soviet Union maybe kept large troops, large armies, you must take into consideration the territory of the USSR. It was explained by the following facts, that at that time many countries which were aggressive, which were terroristic, existed adjacent to the Soviet Union. That is the explanation of why we had a big army. Still everybody knows that when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, we were not fully mobilised for this, and the first period was a very hard one. "The policy of the Soviet Union is the same as it was, to disarm and to demobilise as many persons as possible, so that they may be given to industry and agriculture, which needs them badly. The question, how much can we demobilise our Army and disarm, has the answer in the following: The answer is, it depends on how much we can guarantee that no new aggression will be. done against a peaceful country." |
