Defending+Mother+Russia

=Decision Making Activity=

Here is your situation

 * The year is 1947
 * Your nation has been ravaged by war for the last four years. Most all of the western parts of the USSR have seen the bloodiest fighting of the war, those areas are Belarus and the Ukraine as well as several areas in western Russia, i.e. Stalingrad.
 * Never do you ever want to see an enemy on your immediate borders. The Great Patriotic War was just too much for your people to ever have to experience again. You want to know exactly what your neighbors are up to.
 * Germany, Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and all the Baltic nations are presently occupied by your armies.
 * Your national economy and that of the nations neighboring the USSR are very fragile and weak.
 * The United States has taken some steps to develop the economy of western-Europe and even of West-Germany. Despite this, though, your have agents in those areas that tell you there is much discontent with the economy. Perhaps those people will support a socialist revolution.

Arrive at a course of action

 * Create a course of action to address the challenges mentioned above.
 * Know that you, like all super-power countries, want to have power.
