“For them (the peoples of the Soviet Union) We cherish the warmest paternal affection. We are well aware that not a few of them groan beneath the yoke imposed on them by men who in very large part are strangers to the real interests of the country. We recognize that many others were deceived by fallacious hopes. We blame only the system with its authors and abettors who considered Russia the best field for experimenting with a plan elaborated years ago, and who from there continue to spread it from one of the world to the other.” MenWorldYearsWellsRealCountryInterestPlansFieldsYears AgoBlameUnionsAffectionJewStrangerSpreadRussiaCherishSovietSoviet UnionDeceivedYoke Author:Pope Pius XI
