...propaganda line switched: the old Marxist slogans were dropped, the emphasis was on national patriotism. "Let the manly images of our great ancestors-Alexander Nevsky, Dimitri Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, and Mikhail Kutuzov-inspire you!" exhorted Stalin. At this point the cruel, cumbersome five-year industrialization plans paid off. During the long winter of 1941-42, guns, tanks and planes came rolling out of the Ural factories, to be supplemented later by a stream of armaments from the U.S. and Britain. To a U.S. visitor who explained that strikes were holding up U.S. war production, Stalin snapped...

...trial . . . The reports we received of the trial convinced me beyond doubt that Yamashita was a general who was doing his duty, completely ignorant and innocent of the murderous actions of his troops, and strangely similar in character and actions to the kindly, intelligent and duty-conscious General Kutuzov of Tolstoy's War and Peace...

...busy at the real thing to throw much paraphernalia into make-believe, Director Vladimir Petrov and his associates boil their war down pretty close to its essence: a duel of mind and spirit between Napoleon, who understood little except warfare, and the apparently sleepy Field Marshal Kutuzov, who understood his country and his people so profoundly that he all but embodied them.

Tradition and Ideas. From Peter the Great, from Suvorov, who carried Russia's flag across the Alps, from Kutuzov, who beat Napoleon, the thread of traditional reverence for the cannon ran directly to Voronov. He was a product of Red training, but he took pride in being heir to Russia's rich martial tradition, and he tried to inspire his aides with this pride. He would sit for long hours bulked behind his desk -all 6 ft. 5 and 225 Ib. of him -quietly talking to his officers...

What he had learned, Bagramian put to good use in the 1942-43 winter offensive, born in Stalingrad's ruins. At the head of "X Army," he fought last spring on the approaches to Kharkov, won the Order of Kutuzov, First Class. Still later, in the fields of yellowing grain near Kursk, he took part in the great and decisive summer battle, was promoted to colonel general, became one of the chosen few to wear the treasured Order of Suvorov, First Class. Six weeks ago-probably after he took over the First Baltic Army-he became a full general...
