The People's School for Marxist-Leninist Studies presents a pamphlet by the Russia Today Society, an Anglo-Soviet friendship organization set up as a mass organization by the Communist Party of Great Britain. This pamphlet was published 7 days after the start of the 1939-40 Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. The capitalist presses were ready to promote hysteria about the Soviet Union "invading a little country," while ignoring their complicity in escalating anti-U.S.S.R. hostilities. Despite being written over 80 years ago, this pamphlet rings eerily similar to situations occurring in our world today. We hope you learn something new!
