In answer to this, their opponents pointed to the examples of the three Baltic states, which had been incorporated into the Soviet Union a few months after receiving similar promises. But it is obvious that from a purely logical point of view neither argument was conclusive. No wonder, then, that both opinions persisted, and the situation was by no means improved by the fact that there was a great deal of wishful thinking among those of the first opinion and much prejudice and apprehension, however justified, among the adherents of the second. In these conditions, a totally new approach seems advisable, and this I make by way of an attempt to interpret the events behind the Iron Curtain from the point of view of MarxismLeninism
