Political: Northern (N): Soviet Union (38). Committee of Policy Towards Russia

1946

A file containing weekly minutes of the Committee on Policy towards Russia between April and July 1946. The file is concerned with policy towards the Soviet Union on a global scale, but main areas of discussion included a warning over a Soviet political and propaganda campaign against Britain in Germany and potential measures in response to it, with correspondence between the Foreign Office and the army in Germany and Austria; German political parties and their potential for resistance to communism; whether to allow Soviet trade representatives access to British-controlled territories in South East Asia, eventually advising the Colonial Office not to allow the representatives; countering the communist Tudeh party in Iran and Soviet influence elsewhere in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent; and forthcoming peace treaties with and potential reparations payments from Germany and Italy.
