It is not in the interest of the USSR to wage a war. But wars are the out- come of politics and politics in the USSR are directed by Jews. 8, Stalin is not as popular as the newspapers or the numerous resolutions passed, make out. It is commonly realized that if opportunities for opposition existed without retribution, the Russian people would act with more discrimination. g. THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION There were radio sets o.t the posts in Laing , nd Grosnhoel].enstein where_____________ the men on duty, listened in to broadcasts of the VOA and the BBC. Reception of VOA wa, best after 0200 hours when most other st.t,i.ons h:.d closed down. 350 rn. 2. BBC broadcasts were difficult to hear because of iannning. The broad- casts were heard on various wavelength.hest results on 41 m and 3. These broadcasts were listened to mainly out of curiosity and were regarded as counter propaganda to the Soviet broadcasts. It was not thought that any Soviet organization might be behind these broadcasts but rather that it was propaganda conducted by the US Government from US territory. Stalin is regarded as th" anti-Christ as described in the Bible. 10. Stalin has deviated from the course which Lenin mapped out for the Russian people and when Stalin's first wife reproached him for it, Stalin shot her dead. Stalin is to blame for the plight of the Russian peasants. Lenin advocated that the empty spaces should be populated, but Stalin introduced the system of kolkhozes. Lenin advocated the eight hour day, but Stalin's "norms". system has resulted in a 16-hour day. 11, Stalin should stand judgement by a court of the people and his punishment should be that he is made to do the hard manual labor which the old people throughout the USSR have to do. 12. ~... 13, At present Zhukov is in disfavour and1a3,7 pict- ures of him have been removed. According. to rumor, when the war was over Zhukov ad- vocated that the kolkhozes should be disbanded. end that, as the fruits of victory, the peasants should have their own farms. Another rumor was that Zhukov wanted to send the Jews to Pa].estine, as they are not popular in the USSR. One shipment of 2000 Jews actually left the USSR. but they were all drowned on the way. When Zhukov discussed with Stalin the desirability of sending the Jews out of the USSR, Stalin's d if who is a Jewess ulled out a gun and shot at Zhukov.

There is definite anti-semitism in the USSR. It is usually amongst Jews that the "Osobnyak" (a contemptuous name for 01U officer) recruits his informants and nothing but contempt is felt for the fawning attitude of most Jews in the army, who invariably work for him. They need no soap to slide into his favours. During World War II, Jewish soldiers were regarded as unreliable, they were unwilling to go to the support of their comrades if that endangered their lives, they were coward/ in order 'to nuke these broadcasts effective, Soviet citizens should be used .:;s broadcasters to whose idi.ornaore credence would be paid. 6.
