Stalin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, with Winston S. Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Clement R. Attlee, Prime Minister of Great Britain, during the Great Patriotic War and in the period between victory and the end of 1945. Tendentiously selected parts of this correspondence were published outside the Soviet Union at difference times resulting in a distorted picture of the Soviet attitude during the war years. This publication is to help restore historical truth. It contains the full texts of all documents available in the Soviet Union of J. V. Stalin's correspondence with Winston S. Churchill and Clement R. Attlee during the period in question. Certain messages quoted or otherwise mentioned in publications abroad are missing from this book, as their texts have not been found in the Soviet archives. The correspondence between the heads of the Governments published here was conducted chiefly by exchanging code messages through the Soviet Embassy in London and through the Embassy of Great Britain in Moscow. The messages were decoded in the respective language. Some of the messages were delivered by diplomatic post or by authorized representatives of the Power concerned.
