Pobeda IV. Farther south, General Rodion Malinovsky, a 45-year-old ex-corporal who fought in France in World War I, struck at the closed end of the Dnieper U. In a four-day battle, his Third Ukrainian Army drove through 30-odd miles of enemy defenses. Moscow announced that he had all but cut off five infantry divisions there. But more important still was his threat to the great Nazi strongholds of Krivoi Rog and Nikopol. When they fall (this week the Russians were fighting in Nikopol's suburbs), most of the Dnieper loop will be cleared...
Stocky, witty Alexander Yevdokimovich Korneichuk, successful Ukrainian dramatist, member of the Supreme Soviet and, for the past year, a Vice Commissar of Foreign Affairs under Molotov, resigned his post the day after his chief announced the new autonomy. Two days later Kiev announced appointment of a Commissar of Foreign Affairs for the Ukraine: Alexander Yevdokimovich Korneichuk, husband of Polish-born Wanda Wasilewska (the leader of the Union of Polish Patriots), firm believer in close harmony among Ukrainians, Czechs and Poles to block revival of Prussian militarism, well-trained disciple of the Molotov method...

But in the Baltic States the Nazi party went to idiotic lengths to lose friends and alienate people. Fredborg says the Nazis lost the rest of Europe the way they lost the Baltic States and the Ukraine. Where they might have taken advantage of the "latent, or rather instinctive, anti-Bolshevist sentiment still existing in most nations," they systematically outraged whole populations into feeling that Stalin was a brother in arms...
...years, is a physiologist and pathologist of very high international standing. He is director of Kiev's Institute for Experimental Biology and Pathology which, until the Nazis got there, was one of the best equipped laboratories in the world. Since 1930 he has been president of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. When the Germans came, he moved from Kiev (he was born in jail there in 1881, while his mother was a political prisoner) to Ufa in the Urals. This month he will move back. Because of his serum, which he calls "anti-reticular-cytotoxic serum" and mercifully abbreviates...
