Christian Zulus Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 But he never received any Soviet awards did he? (Though his wife did. )Dear Ed,I think, that there had been an agreement among the "Big 3" - Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin - NOT to exchange decorations among themselves. But the next level of hierarchy got the "full load" :Montgomery & Eisenhower got their "Victories", Zhukov his GCB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath , etc., etc.But Churchill got his Order of the Garter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter , which he probably liked more, than a "Victory" .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Churchill's Fulton-SpeechGentlemen,Churchill's famous speech at the 5th of march 1946 had been a reaction to Stalin's statement, he gave at a speech in Moscow in february 1946, that "world capitalism proceeds through crisis and the catastrophes of war". Well, who would say, that this statement is sooooo wrong .O.K., Stalin's pragmatic statement was nothing new for educated economists & historians - similar statements you found already in the writings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc. -, but it seemed approbriate to start the new "Cold War" officially.Churchill's "Iron-Curtain-Speech" http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/churchill-iron.html had been the introduction of the "Cold War"-concept in the public.Actually the "Cold War" started with the death of President Roosevelt almost one year before Fulton, in my opinion.The "Cold War" ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the victory of the USA. Due to that historic fact, we are able to collect Soviet Orders & Medals .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Socialism vs. RealityDear Christophe,but it is your intellectual property .Best regardsChristianGentlemen,the owner of GMIC is citizen of the UK. So the UK-laws apply to our forum.So according to UK-laws the "quiz" is the intellectual property of Christophe, despite the scientific fact, that property is theft!The fact is, that the recent UK is NOT the former CCCP - maybe the UK will convert to the first true Socialist socitey in Europe .BTW: 26 years ago, I wrote an article in an Austrian political magazine about the (very) left wing of the British Labour Party after a meeting with their politicians in London ."Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa - das Gespenst des Kommunismus. Alle M?chte des alten Europa haben sich zu einer heiligen Hetzjagd gegen dies Gespenst verb?ndet, der Papst und der Zar, Metternich und Guizot, franz?sische Radikale und deutsche Polizisten. Wo ist die Oppositionspartei, die nicht von ihren regierenden Gegnern als kommunistisch verschrien worden w?re, wo die Oppositionspartei, die den fortgeschritteneren Oppositionsleuten sowohl wie ihren reaktion?ren Gegnern den brandmarkenden Vorwurf des Kommunismus nicht zur?ckgeschleudert h?tte? Zweierlei geht aus dieser Tatsache hervor. Der Kommunismus wird bereits von allen europ?ischen M?chten als eine Macht anerkannt. Es ist hohe Zeit, da? die Kommunisten ihre Anschauungsweise, ihre Zwecke, ihre Tendenzen vor der ganzen Welt offen darlegen und dem M?rchen vom Gespenst des Kommunismus ein Manifest der Partei selbst entgegenstellen."
