A-bomb monument unveiled in Potsdam A stone monument to memorialize atomic bomb victims has been unveiled in Potsdam, near Berlin, in Germany. In 1945, US President Harry Truman is said to have approved the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki while attending the Potsdam Conference on the post-war treatment of Germany and conditions for Japan's surrender. The order to drop the bombs was issued on July 25th. The monument was planned by a society formed by Japanese and Germans to create a Hiroshima square in Potsdam. The monument has been placed there, in front of a building where Truman stayed during the Potsdam Conference. The phrase "Hoping for a world without nuclear weapons" is carved on the monument in Japanese, German and English. The monument was made using streetcar flagstones from Hiroshima and stones from a temple in Nagasaki. The monument was unveiled at a ceremony on Sunday. A senior official of Potsdam gave a speech, saying the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki must not be repeated. Hideto Sotobayashi moved to Germany after graduating university. He was exposed to radiation in Hiroshima when he was 16. Sotobayashi continues to talk about the tragedy of nuclear bombings to people in Germany and other countries. He pointed out that the idea of nuclear fission that led to the creation of nuclear bombs was discovered in Berlin, and that the order to drop the bombs was issued in Potsdam. Sotobayashi said he hopes the monument will help scientists ...

Cold War en.wikipedia.org After annexing several occupied countries as Soviet Socialist Republics at the end of World War II, other occupied states were added to the Eastern Bloc by converting them into puppet Soviet Satellite states, such as East Germany, the People's Republic of Poland, the People's Republic of Hungary, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the People's Republic of Romania and the People's Republic of Albania. The Soviet-style regimes that arose in the Bloc not only reproduced Soviet command economies, but also adopted the brutal methods employed by Joseph Stalin and Soviet secret police to suppress real and potential opposition. In Asia, the Red Army had overrun Manchuria in the last month of the war, and went on to occupy the large swath of Korean territory located north of the 38th parallel. In September 1947, the Soviets created Cominform, the purpose of which was to enforce orthodoxy within the international communist movement and tighten political control over Soviet satellites through coordination of communist parties in the Eastern Bloc. Cominform faced an embarrassing setback the following June, when the Tito--Stalin split obliged its members to expel Yugoslavia, which remained Communist but adopted a non-aligned position. As part of the Soviet domination of the Eastern Bloc, the NKVD, led by Lavrentiy Beria, supervised the establishment of Soviet-style secret police systems in the Bloc that were supposed to crush anti-communist resistance. When ...
1952 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com The Soviet Union was not invited to share in the new weapons developed by the United States and the other Allies. During the war, information had been pouring in from a number of volunteer spies involved with the Manhattan Project (known in Soviet cables under the code-name of Enormoz), and the Soviet nuclear physicist Igor Kurchatov was carefully watching the Allied weapons development. It came as no surprise to Stalin when Truman had informed him at the Potsdam conference that he had a "powerful new weapon." Truman was shocked at Stalin's lack of interest. The Soviet spies in the US project were all volunteers and none were Russians. One of the most valuable, Klaus Fuchs, was a German émigré theoretical physicist who had been a part in the early British nuclear efforts and had been part of the UK mission to Los Alamos during the war. Fuchs had been intimately involved in the development of the implosion weapon, and passed on detailed cross-sections of the "Trinity" device to his Soviet contacts. Other Los Alamos spies—none of whom knew each other—included Theodore Hall and David Greenglass. The information was kept but not acted upon, as Russia was still too busy fighting the war in Europe to devote resources to this new project. In the years immediately after World War II, the issue of who should control atomic weapons became a major international point of contention. Many of the Los Alamos ...
1952 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Development of Fat Man, the implosion bomb, was given high priority. Chemical explosives were used to implode a sub-critical sphere of plutonium, thus increasing its density and making it into a critical mass. The difficulties with implosion were in the problem of making the chemical explosives deliver a perfectly uniform shock wave upon the plutonium sphere— if it were even slightly asymmetric, the weapon would fizzle (which would be expensive, messy, and not a very effective military device). This problem was circumvented by the use of hydrodynamic "lenses"—explosive materials of differing densities—which would focus the blast waves inside the imploding sphere, akin to the way in which an optical lens focuses light rays. After D-Day, General Groves had ordered a team of scientists—Project Alsos—to follow eastward-moving victorious Allied troops into Europe in order to assess the status of the German nuclear program (and to prevent the westward-moving Russians from gaining any materials or scientific manpower). It was concluded that while Nazi Germany had also had an atomic bomb program, headed by Werner Heisenberg, the government had not made a significant investment in the project, and had been nowhere near success. Historians claim to have found a rough schematic showing a Nazi nuclear bomb. Research was conducted in the German nuclear energy project. In March 1945, a Nazi scientific team was ...
Vladimir Sofronitsky - PIANO Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 15, Op. 28 in D major ( " Pastoral ") recorded from old MONO LP made in russia (USSR) by MK [ Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga ] --- Vladimir Sofronitsky was born to a physics teacher father and a mother from an artistic family. In 1903 his family moved to Warsaw, where he started piano lessons with Anna Lebedeva-Getcevich (a student of Nikolai Rubinstein), and later (from age nine) with Aleksander Michałowski. From 1916 to 1921, Sofronitsky studied in the Petrograd Conservatory under Leonid Nikolayev, where Dmitri Shostakovich, Maria Yudina, and Elena Scriabina, the eldest daughter of the deceased Alexander Scriabin, were among his classmates. He met Scriabina in 1917 and married her in 1920. While he had already divulged a sympathy for the piano music of the recently deceased mystic composer -- as attested by Yudina -- he now had a greater intellectual and emotional connection to Scriabin's works through his wife and through the Scriabin in-laws. Sofronitsky was also acclaimed as an outstanding pianist by the composer Alexander Glazunov and the musicologist and critic Alexander Ossovsky. He gave his first solo concert in 1919, and his only foreign tour in France between 1928 and 1929. The only other time he performed outside the Soviet Union was at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, when he was suddenly sent by Stalin to play for the allied leaders. Sofronitsky taught at the Leningrad Conservatory from 1936 to 1942 ...

The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, was the February 411, 1945 wartime meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union—President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and General Secretary Joseph Stalin, respectively—for the purpose of discussing Europe's postwar reorganization. Mainly, it was intended to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe. The conference convened in the Livadia Palace near Yalta, the Crimea. It was the second of three wartime conferences among the Big Three (Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin). It had been preceded by the Tehran Conference in 1943, and it was followed by the Potsdam Conference which was attended by Harry S. Truman in place of the late Roosevelt; and Clement Attlee who attended in place of Churchill.

This LP was produced in 1971 by the Musical Heritage Society (MHS 1129). Part 1 of 3 Movement 1: Allegro ------------------------------------------------------------------- In December 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Eugene List enlisted in the Army without waiting for his formal call-up. In March 1942, the Army assigned List—age 26—to the Brooklyn Port of Embarkation where he was given an office job as a typist. List was soon assigned to the Special Services, and performed concerts in the New York area, where all his fees went to the Army Emergency Relief. In 1945, he was sent oversees along with other enlisted entertainers. He was sent to the Paris suburb of Chatou, where he joined a collection of GI talent, including Mickey Rooney and violinist Stuart Canin. Later, both Canin and List were ordered to start an orchestra. This eventually became the famous Seventh Army Symphony Orchestra. In June 1945, Canin and List were ordered to Potsdam, Germany where they were told to play for the President and his staff at the Potsdam Conference. Soon they learned the occasion was to play for President Harry S. Truman, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill, including their large entourage at the Big Three conference.

Some Important Pupils of Alexander Michalowski www.youtube.com Vladimir Sofronitzky was born in St Petersburg in 1901, .In 1903, his family moved to Warsaw where he later began his studies with Alexander Michalowski at the age of nine. 1n 1916, Sofronitzki entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory where he studied with Professor Leonid Nicolaev. Before graduating cum laude in 1921, he married Alexander Scriabins eldest daughter Elena, a fellow student. After graduation, Sofronitzky began a highly successful career which, unfortunately, was nearly totally confined to the Soviet Union. He only played in the West once after 1930 when Stalin sent him to play at the Potsdam conference in 1945. As did Anton Rubinstein before him, Sofronitzky gave a series of 12 historical recitals in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) during 1937 performing music from Buxtehude to Shostakovich.. His playing was highly admired by Heinrich Neuhaus, (also a student of Michalowski), Vladimir Horowitz, Egon Petri and former classmates Maria Yudina and Dmitry Shostakovich. A Sofronitzky performance was regarded as a unique event and after the war, he was generally considered to be the finest pianist in Russia. Vladimir Sofronitzky died in 1961.
