Air date: May 28, 2017

Vyacheslav Molotov is one of the leaders of the revolutionary movement in Russia, a supporter of accelerated industrialization. In 1939, Molotov took the post of People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR. Thanks to his efforts, a peace treaty was concluded with Germany, later called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. This treaty postponed the German attack on the USSR and made it possible to push the borders of the Soviet Union hundreds of kilometers to the west, which in 1941 made it difficult for the German troops to advance and led to the collapse of the German "blitzkrieg".
