When it comes to the European revival after World War II , what people mention most is the Marshall Plan , and nothing else.
In fact, just after World War II, the Soviet Union established the Joint Reconstruction Fund to provide assistance to many areas, a full two years earlier than the US Marshall Plan.
As for the Molotov plan later proposed by the Soviet Union, it was just to respond to the United States and integrate various previous plans.
Let’s take a look at that forgotten history, and you can basically understand why Russia must attack Ukraine .
The Soviet Union's kindness to Poland
In 1945, the Soviet Union approved the document of aiding Poland
On May 9, 1945, Germany unconditionally surrendered.
A week later, the Soviet Union established the Joint Reconstruction Fund to assist areas damaged by World War II. The most important aid target was Poland.
The Soviet Union at that time was not like the United States today, which liked to paint a big picture, but just did what it said.
Six months later, the Soviet Union had helped Poland clear 700,000 cubic meters of rubble.
According to the agreement between the Soviet Union and Warsaw , the Soviet Union provided $5 billion in industrial equipment to Poland for free.
A large amount of grain was shipped to Poland
In 1947, there was a drought in Poland, and life was not easy for the Soviet Union. However, it still provided tens of thousands of tons of grain to Poland without hesitation to avoid large-scale famine in Poland.
In 1949, Polish industry increased by 2.5 times, and sales of Polish industrial products increased by 200% compared with pre-war levels.
In 1950, trade between Poland and the Soviet Union reached US$1 billion, and no one in Poland was unemployed.
Jan Zachwatovich in Poland
If you have been to Warsaw, Poland, you will find that the architectural style of Poland is very similar to that of Russia.
This is because the architectural restoration work in Warsaw, Poland at that time was carried out by the architect Jan Zachwatovich sent by the Soviet Union, and all the cement and bricks used to rebuild Warsaw were provided by the Soviet Union.
How long did Jan Zakhvatovich stay in Warsaw?
for 5 full years, 1945-1950.
The Polish capital Warsaw in 1945
After World War II, Poland made a three-year economic recovery plan, and then a six-year industrial plan, all of which were provided by the Soviet Union with financial and technical support.
Therefore, from 1946 to 1955, Poland's economy grew at a rate of more than tens of percent per year, with industrial output increasing by 2.5 times and agricultural output increasing by 14.3 times.
However, After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Poland's economic growth never exceeded 7%.
The Soviet Union gave Poland a good foundation.
The Secret of the Marshall Plan
Marshall
Since the Soviet Union’s Joint Reconstruction Fund has been mentioned, it is natural to also mention the Marshall Plan of the United States.
Seeing that the Soviet Union continued to expand its influence, in June 1947, the United States proposed the Marshall Plan.
Subsequently, the Soviet Union responded and launched the Molotov Plan in July 1947, which was nothing more than an enhanced version of the Joint Reconstruction Fund.
Otherwise, how could the Soviet Union launch a complete plan in less than a month?
Many people believe that the Marshall Plan of the United States is to help Europe recover. In fact, the Marshall Plan is not free. It has a hard condition.
The United States proposed that all countries and regions that accept the Marshall Plan should not have left-wing parties within them (as long as everyone understands this). This is the main reason why only Western European regions can receive aid, while Eastern European regions cannot.
It was the implementation of the Marshall Plan that allowed NATO to be quickly formed, and the Cold War began.
American ideological penetration
The United States has never stopped ideological penetration into Eastern Europe, and their routines are nothing more than two points:
1. The Soviet Union prevents everyone from joining the Marshall Plan, otherwise they can develop better.
2. The Soviet Union occupied most of Eastern Europe.
Take Poland as an example to see whether the American routine is tenable.
Let’s look at development issues first.
Morawski signed a cooperation agreement with Stalin on behalf of Poland
It was simply impossible for Poland to join the Marshall Plan, because Poland was in charge of Edward Osubka Morawski, who later became the Polish Workers' Party.
At this point, no matter Poland, Czech , all Eastern European regions do not meet the requirements of the US Marshall Plan.
So, 70 years ago, the United States began to spread the pie.
Let’s look at the territorial issue.
1939's Poland
After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union only returned part of the occupied land to Poland, but gave the land of East Germany to Poland as compensation.
These are all recorded in the Soviet Union: Silesia , East Pomerania, East Prussia , East Brandenburg, Gdansk , Szczecin district, all were given by the Soviet Union. Polish.
Poland and Russia have had historical problems since ancient times, so these historical problems have been infinitely amplified by the United States.
Extended reading
In 1985, Gorbachev came to power, but in 1980, he was already a core figure in the Soviet Union.
It is estimated that the Soviet people at that time would never have thought that Gorbachev would go to live in the United States and win the Nobel Peace Prize for disintegrating the Soviet Union.
With Gorbachev's cooperation and the infiltration of American ideas, it was much easier to exaggerate Soviet fear.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia was forced to inherit everything. The editor of
has something to say:
It has been more than 40 years since 1980. Most of those who remember history have passed away.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia was extremely weak, and the United States on the other side was so brilliant that many people rushed to bring him tea and water. The infiltration of
ideas is extremely terrifying. Modify the teaching materials little by little, quietly plant the seeds of hatred, wait for the old people to die and the young people to forget, and then they can be harvested.
This is also the root of the problem in Ukraine, so Russia is anxious. The same is true for
Taiwan's problem.
