On March 9, 1890, Vyacheslav Molotov, the long-term head of the USSR government and foreign affairs department, was born. He held high government posts during industrialization and collectivization, during the years of World War II and the post-war reconstruction of the economy. It was he who read out the message about the beginning of the war with Germany, ending with the famous saying: “Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, the victory will be ours!” The strengths of Molotov’s personality were noted in his memoirs not only by party members, but also by foreign statesmen. Thus, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called him “a sensible and carefully polished diplomat,” and Mikhail Smirtyukov, the head of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, described Molotov as “a very strong organizer.”
