Abstract

Russia in the Balkans

Raditsa, Bogdan | April 15, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The armies of the Soviet Union are hurtling across the River Prut, ready to strike at the heart of Rumania. Thus, Soviets aided by the various national armies of liberation seem to bring about the collapse of German military strength in the Balkans. Moreover, the great people's movements emerging from the chaos of Balkan politics have derived inspiration and courage from the Soviet Union's example and will reinforce Soviet's influence on the peace. The main stream of Balkan energy flows of course from Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav National Army of Liberation has become a powerful instrument for the coordination of Balkan resistance and the unification of Balkan aspirations to fight against Germans.
