Only a week into the war. And yes, it finally hits me. No provication. No accident. No way to gloss this over. War. The Fascists have invaded our peace loving Soviet Union. Where did we go wrong? Did they not need the pact signed by our respective foreign ministers? We did not provoke them. Even when they overflew the border, we did nothing. When they sent troops into Romania, we accepted their explainations.
Why did I not listen to my aide? He actually read Mein Kampf. He tried to inform me of how they wanted living space in the East. Every chance he got. It got so that I sent him to a gulag. I had to find peace somewhere, what with the Moscow Trials, the purges of the military, collectivization all crushing me.
He's probably, at this very moment, saying "I told you so." The very thought is like an itch I can't scratch. Perhaps when Beria gets here, I'll have a word......
But never mind that for now. The members of the Gosudarstvennyi Komitet Oborony will be arriving soon. I must have my cook prepare some tea and sweetmeats. Unless I don't like what I hear. Then I'll have Blokhin prepare something more suitable.
