I personally believe that war is highly unlikely.

The Soviet Union, true to the Leninist principles of respect for the rights and national independence of all peoples great or small, has always been and is guided in its relations with other countries by the principles of mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty, non-aggression, non-intervention in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefits, peaceful coexistence and economic cooperation.

Voroshilov was a hard-riding, hard-drinking military crony of civil-war days.

Whoever can lift a rifle, should have one.

I personally believe that war is highly unlikely.

It was necessary to close the front against Germany and that it (victory) depended on us whether it was to be closed or not.

Voroshilov was a striking figure, with a great deal of influence among the workers, so that the degree of influence of the committee on the workers and its success as regards recruitment depended primarily on him.
