Description
Although Soviet Russia emerged victorious from the civil war of 1917 to 1920, it was almost perfectly diplomatically isolated. Just two decades later, during World War II, however, Stalin acted as an equal among equals with the world's most powerful statesmen, such as Roosevelt and Churchill. How did such a rise to power occur? The book The Path to Prominence analyzes the main directions of Soviet foreign policy from 1917 to 1945, including its sudden but significant turns. Soviet policy was always directed to ensure that Moscow had the space to achieve its security, territorial, and economic interests. Increased attention is given here to Czechoslovak-Soviet and Polish-Soviet relations, as the Polish question became one of the sources of the post-war Cold War.
