"The USSR was actually one of the first states to recognize the Israeli government in 1948, apparently with the intention of using Israel to make trouble for the West. But the arrival in Moscow of Golda Meir in October as the first Israeli ambassador produced a sharp reaction. A spontaneous demonstration in her honor outside a Moscow synagogue by a large and enthusiastic crowd of Russian Jews convinced Stalin that anyone with Zionist sympathies must be a traitor to the Soviet Union. When Svetlana protested at Stalin's suspicions, he pounced on her and declared 'The entire older generation is contaminated with Zionism and now they're teaching the young people, too.'" - Alan Bullock, "Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives," p. 952

  • Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin

Comrades, I have presented my considerations to you. I repeat that it is in the interest of the USSR, the workers’ homeland, that a war breaks out between the Reich and the capitalist Anglo-French bloc. Everything should be done so that it drags out as long as possible with the goal of weakening both sides. For this reason, it is imperative that we agree to conclude the pact proposed by Germany, and then work in such a way that this war, once it is declared, will be prolonged maximally. We must strengthen our propaganda work in the belligerent countries in order to be prepared when the war ends.

— Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, Joseph Stalin/Speech to the Politburo, August 19, 1939
