“Literacy” was always the most basic tool of totalitarian propaganda. If you are not literate you can’t be fed communist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-communist I knew in my childhood was my maternal grandfather who was illiterate. Communist propaganda did not reach him

It's crazy to me that people think the USSR annexing half of Poland at this time was bad because the alternative was the Nazis annexing all of it. Like... if they could have taken all of Poland and held it from the Nazis they would have had a moral imperative to do so. They could have prevented the construction of Auschwitz
