Russia: How Stable is Her Political Leadership? How Strong is her Military Power? (1955-09-04)
About this film
Mr. Peek outlines the plan for the whole series and explains the different categories of countries to be covered. Mr. Salisbury, New York Times correspondent and guest of the program, begins the discussion with an explanation of Soviet leadership from Lenin to Stalin. It is concluded that Russian military power is very strong, but there is some doubt as to the stability of leadership. With a coalition, instead of one man dictatorship, much Soviet energy is directed toward an internal political struggle. This may have a weakening effect on Russian aims toward world domination.
