After World War II. the Soviets occupied Hungary which had been an ally of Germany and squeezed the political. social. and cultural life out of the country by means of economic strangulation. The Red Army stripped her bare of livestock. food supplies. all means of transportation and industrial equipment. Private homes. public warehouses. stores. Government agencies. banks. and even foreign legations received the same barbarous treatment. Tens of thousands of men. women. and children were deported to the U.S.S.R. Britain and the United States protested periodically. but to no avail because the Allied Control Commission. of which they were both members. was chaired by Soviet Marshall Klementy Voroshilov who formally acted in the name of the ACC. Moreover. he had the military muscle to back up his brutal measures.
