peer agreement (net): +2explanation below Explanation: Don't think you can sum this up in one or two words. I would paraphrase as something like "Stalin's imposition of communism through tank/armored divisions" as it refers to Stalin's use of the occupation forces at the end of WWII during the so-called "elections" that voted in communist governments in Eastern Europe. It also calls to mind the sending in of Soviet tank divisions to Hungary and Czechoslovakia to quell unrest and dissident movements in the 50s and 60s. |
