| Description | World War II cartoon showing Stalin with his back to the wall, holding a club, under attack by a group of German soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets. Meanwhile W. Averell Harriman, as a reporter, tries to interview him, saying, "And now let me have your views on religious freedom." In 1941, after Germany invaded the Soviet Union, the United States announced plans to provide war supplies to the beleaguered Russians. Some groups in the United States objected on the grounds that Russia was a Communist nation that denied freedom of worship to its citizens. President Roosevelt, hoping to pacify the objectors, announced that he had directed Harriman, his special representative, to discuss the matter of religious freedom with the Soviet government. |
