From the bridgehead, the Third Ukrainian Army of brilliant, heavy-set Marshal Feodor I. Tolbukhin then began an offensive. Despite the constant drizzle and occasional snow, despite rivers and swamps and wide ditches, the Russians spread out on the plain like a Danube flood. Through the railroad network of southwest Hungary they swelled to within 21 miles of Lake Balaton, central Europe's largest, reached 72 miles from Austria's nearest frontier. Mud was a curse. Moscow newspapers told of one unit that wallowed through mud for days, finally reached its first highway. Men cheered when they...
...Lakes. Farther north, the whole irrational Nazi line was being hammered. Smashing into the corridor between the Vistula and the Masurian Lakes was General Feodor Zakharov's Second White Russian Army. It took the Narew River fortress of Lomza in midweek, and advanced through Novgorod to within sight of the lakes, where a 30-year-old defeat could be avenged...
...Iron Gate, where the Danube flows between 200-foot piles of sandstone, some of Tito's men battled to join Red armymen who had come from the Ukraine, through Bessarabia, through the Galati Gap, through the heart of Rumania at breakneck pace.

Other Malinovsky forces swarmed to the Danube and the Bulgarian border on a 65-mile front. General Feodor Tolbukhin's army group reached southern Dobruja below Constanta. This territory has been Rumania's (disregarding Hitler's 1940 rearrangements) since 1913; Russia began throwing its weight around in the Balkans by referring to it, in the Moscow communique, as Bulgarian...
Love in Bloom. Canadian-Soviet relations blossomed only after the Nazis attacked Russia. Before then, Canadian affairs were handled in London's Soviet Embassy. In October 1942 the Kremlin sent able Feodor Gusev as its first Minister to Canada, later sent him to London to replace Ivan Maisky as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. To Moscow went Russian-speaking Leolyn Dana Wilgress, one of Ottawa's ablest civil servants. While on Canada's Economic Mission to Siberia, Wilgress married a Russian, fitted himself to meet Russians on their own terms...
