...Army the traditional bread and 'salt [tokens of brotherhood] on embroidered towels and invited Red Army men into their houses." So said Tass, the official Soviet news agency. As the week advanced, Communist cohorts from Moscow poured in after the advancing Red Army, brought 100,000 portraits of Stalin, Lenin and Marx, tons of "educational leaflets."
