Abstract:

the most important events of 1939 for our country took place, of course, in the West. But they were important primarily because the majority of the population and the main political and economic centers were in the West of the country. From the point of view of danger, the situation in the East at the beginning of 1939 was clearly more alarming. Almost the Soviet Union, as mentioned earlier, has long waged an undeclared war with Japan, not wanting to turn this country into a giant Asian superpower against our Fatherland.
