The author considers the prospects of their further aggressive actions in Iran, India, and Central Asia, which are opening in connection with this. The ambiguity of the USSR's relations with its allies, the United States and Great Britain, is shown, which, by providing military and technical and food aid to the Red Army, continued the military and technical cooperation with Turkey, Hitler's potencial ally. Author shows the historically equivalent role of the defense of the Krasnodar region, the Caucasus and Stalingrad in the outcome of the Second World War and the fate of the whole world.
