After the October Revolution in Russia, Churchill, then Minister of the Admiralty, threatened to bring Soviet power to power

"Strangled in the cradle". However, time passed, and by the time of the Second World War, fascism threatened all of humanity, and out of Britain's national interests, Churchill turned his enemies into friends and joined the Soviet Union against the most dangerous enemies.

After the start of the war, Churchill closely followed Hitler's intentions towards the Soviet Union, and there were growing signs that Hitler was preparing to attack the Soviet Union.

In April 1941, Churchill was convinced that the Soviet Union should be informed of Hitler's ambitions, and Stalin should be reminded to take precautions.

The ambassador to the Soviet Union passed the message to Stalin, but it did not attract the attention of the Soviet Union, and even suspected that Britain was stirring up Soviet-German relations.

As a result, on June 22, the Soviet Union was attacked by a surprise German attack. On Sunday, June 22, Churchill received news of Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union at Chequers, the prime minister's suburban residence.

The night before, he had spoken to several guests about the imminent German attack on the Soviet Union.

When his private secretary Colville asked him whether you, the sworn enemy of the Communists, had violated principles in supporting the Soviet Union in the war against Germany, Churchill humorously replied: "Not at all contrary to principles." I had only one goal, which was to eliminate Hitler, and this goal made my life simpler. If Hitler invades Hell, I will at least make a statement in the House of Commons sympathizing with the Demon King. Churchill ordered the BBC to broadcast his speech at 9 p.m. that night.

"In the last 25 years, there has not been a single person who has been as consistently opposed to communism as I have," he said on the radio. I don't want to take back what I said. But all of this has been overshadowed by the scene that is unfolding before our eyes. Everything that has passed, with its sins, its stupidity, its tragedies, has passed in a flash. What I saw before my eyes were Russian soldiers standing on the borders of the Motherland, defending the land that their ancestors had cultivated since ancient times...... We in the British Empire have only one aim, and that is to eradicate all traces of Hitler and the Nazi system. We will give Russia and the Russians all possible assistance. ”

"Hitler's attack on Russia was only a prelude to an attempt to attack the British Isles." Churchill said: "There is no doubt that he hoped that all this operation would be over before winter came, and that he could defeat Great Britain before the intervention of the American Navy and Air Force." He wanted to repeat his old tricks of defeating the enemy on a larger scale than before. ”

"Therefore, the crisis of Russia is our crisis and the danger of the United States, just as the cause of the Russians fighting for the defense of their homeland is the cause of free peoples and free peoples all over the world." Churchill concluded: "Let us learn from the lessons of cruelty." Let's redouble our efforts, and as long as there is a breath and strength, let's work together to fight the enemy! "At this critical juncture, Churchill understood where his country's fundamental interests lay and the best way to deal with it in the country's interests under the prevailing conditions.

Therefore, he categorically rejected Hess, the deputy leader of the German Nazi Party

The exhortation of "United Germany against the Soviet Union" was made

The correct decision to "unite the Soviet Union against Germany". On 12 July, the Soviet and British governments signed an agreement on joint action against the German war, which stipulated that they would give each other all forms of assistance and support in the war against Germany, and that the two sides would neither negotiate with Germany nor negotiate peace or sign a peace treaty with Germany, and the two sides embarked on the track of joint resistance to the enemy.
