Pressure from Russia

Despite the liberation of our homeland from German occupation, we still have the ever present Russia to contend with. They are now refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of our government unless the Russian aligned communists in the country are allowed to take a more prominent role in the administration. In reality, this is a thinly veiled threat from the Russians that they expect us to align ourselves with them. Meanwhile, our partners in the west seem unwilling to offer us any support in resisting the Russian leader’s demands.
