„This book compares the various aspects – political,
military economic – of Soviet occupation in Austria, Hungary and Romania. Using
documents found in Austrian, Hungarian, Romanian and Russian archives the
authors argue that the nature of Soviet foreign policy has been misunderstood.
Existing literature has focused on the Soviet foreign policy from a political
perspective; when and why Stalin made the decision to introduce Bolshevik
political systems in the Soviet sphere of influence. This book will show that
the Soviet conquest of East-Central Europe had an imperial dimension as well
and allowed the Soviet Union to use the territory it occupied as military and
economic space. The final dimension of the book details the tragically human
experiences of Soviet occupation: atrocities, rape, plundering and
deportations.
By bringing key documents together in one single
volume, this book offers penetrating new insights into Soviet policies in
Romania, Hungary and Austria that contributed to the origins of the Cold War.”
