-  "So what" wasn't answered enough and the significance of the evidence/example wasn't elaborate ]]> 2016-08-19 05:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lyle_greer/t0pqg7u9sc0v/wish/118868091 Grade https://padlet.com/lyle_greer/t0pqg7u9sc0v/wish/118869329 B+]]> 2016-08-19 05:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lyle_greer/t0pqg7u9sc0v/wish/118869329 lyle_greer https://padlet.com/lyle_greer/t0pqg7u9sc0v/wish/118869867 Q1: Wolfgang Leonhard, an East German communist was quoted as saying on the CNN Cold War Episode #2 about how the East German communists were planning to take power: 

"The idea was at the beginning to cooperate, and gradually, gradually, to build up the party, making the best organized party, the most militant party, the most active party and gradually increase the influence on the other parties and gradually take over the whole situation but not at once.”   (transcript pg 4, 2nd paragraph) 

How much did this attitude reflect the way that the USSR was establishing control over other Eastern European countries during the 1945-1947 time frame?  

Q2: According to the Naimark reading on the Sovietization of Eastern Europe, how did ‘sovietization’ and ‘stalinization’ of Eastern Europe enable the USSR to gain control of the region?  What was the most effective tactic in achieving control? Why? 

Q3: Which is a more accurate in presenting history: a secondary scholarly source like Naimark’s Sovietization or a video such as the CNN documentary series on the Cold War?
