...vodka, the workers' rebellion of June 17 and the puppet regime's consequent loss of face, were supposed to be forgotten. Malenkov toasted the East German regime as "the bulwark of peaceful forces of all Germany"; he promised to give it "full support and help." A Kremlin communiqué showed what Malenkov had in mind.
