Sir,—ln reply to M. Creel (February 12), the Afghan people were not languishing under a feudal-fascist regime imposed by the United States. Since World War II the Soviets have annexed Albania (1946), Bulgaria (1946), Yugoslavia (1946), Poland (1947), Rumania (1947), Czechoslovakia (1948), East Germany (1949) and Hungary (1949). Atrocities/exist. To quote Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s speech in Washington on June 30, 1975: “It’s a system which introduced genocide of the peasantry. Fifteen million peasants were sent off to extermination. It’s a system which, in time of peace in the Ukraine, artificially created a famine causing six million* persons to die of starvation in 1932 and 1933; on the very edge of Europe they died.”—Yours, etc., R. J. RENWICK. February 22, 1987.
