https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2021_5_98
Abstract
The article examines the key events that took place in the USSR and Nazi Germany in the last days before the war, the true meaning of the TASS Report of June 13, 1941 and its consequences in the heated atmosphere of the prewar days, the dynamics of Soviet-British and Soviet-American relations on the eve of the war. The article refutes the claims that the USSR was allegedly preparing a pre-emptive strike against Nazi Germany.
