Fear of Russia would be commonplace in any of what were once puppet governments of the Soviet Union. The crushing of rebellion in Hungry - using Polish troops and others - and the brutal oppression of locals by the Polish communist government, which didn't fart without Kremlin approval from 1945 to 1989, lies within the memory of the adult population. This coupled with a fluctuating border alliance starting with the Lithuanian Polish merger to a non-existent status during the Austria-Hungry period to a shifting of border alignments and a new Poland in 1919 ( as memory serves me ), and FDR's infamous contemporary handover of Poland to Stalin will, sadly, live on for another couple of generation, and I agree with them. Russia is not to be trusted. Ever.

Just one thing.

Writing The crushing of rebellion in Hungry - using Polish troops and others you probably meant Chechoslovakia in 1968, because the Hungarian uprising in 1956 was supressed by the Soviets themselves.

Roosevelt was a cold bastard. It's time to shatter the golden image the leftist communists have created of him. To dis-habilitate him, if that's a word, the way the Russians did Lenin not so long ago. OTOH, they seem to be REhabilitating Stalin, so who knows where their minds are at. I think they should rehabilitate the Czar. He and his family are the ones that got the rawest deal out of the whole thing.

"The crushing of rebellion in Hungry - using Polish troops and others"

Polish troops didn't take part in this shameful act, but two divisions were sent to Czechoslovakia in 68, fortunately they didn't kill anyone.
