Loyalty, we said, begets loyalty.&quot; But as Germany collapsed, the Soviet Union began &quot;reversing every wartime pledge and policy. And not only was the quarter of a century of communist despotism to be fastened again upon the necks of the long suffering, heroically,enduring, eternally,hoping, eternally,serving Russian people -but naked and unashamed it was seeking new people to subject. &quot;
