Russia's Strategic Interests & Intentions from the Point of View of her Security. Report by J.I.C.

1 Oct 1944

2 5. If, as we expect, no violent political upheaval takes place in Russia after the war, the military and economic development of the country will continue without serious disturbance, not perhaps at the exceptional intensity of the years before this war, but at least on an upward curve. Russia will contain within her own frontiers such military and economic resources as would enable her to face without serious defeat even a combination of the major European Powers. It is true that Russia will probably want to import considerable quantities of oil, but her object would be to conserve her own internal resources and to facilitate industrial expansion and the development of road transport.
