#Postwar #History The Molotovs met right after World War I. Vyacheslav Molotov was then a close associate of Lenin and a friend of Joseph Stalin. At that time, Polina was a political officer in the Red Army. They quickly caught each other's eye. However, Stalin did not like this, as he believed that Polina posed a threat to the communist government. She was Jewish. In addition, her brother ran a thriving business in the United States. Even then, the future leader of the USSR encouraged his associate not to have a relationship with a woman. Meanwhile, the years passed. Stalin became the most important person in the USSR. Molotov also climbed the career ladder with him. However, Stalin did not forget who he was associated with. In 1939, he tried to convince other communists that Polina was meeting with Western spies. However, he lacked evidence for this. The ruthless leader of the Soviet Union achieved his goal only after the war. Polina ended up in a gulag, and Molotov lost his political position. How did this happen? This is the subject of this episode of the Powojnie series. Most of the materials used in the film come from the public domain. I would like to thank all the Patrons of the Powojnie channel for supporting it on the Patronite platform. Thanks to them, I can continue to create more films. https://patronite.pl/powojnie And now I invite you to watch the latest episode.
