Я бы очень осторожно относился к подобным цитатам.
To offer anything less was to confirm Russia's well-founded suspicions that the West would be glad to hold the ring, as in the destruction of the Spanish Republic, while Hitler worked his will on Russia. Since this was what the British and French regimes really wanted they recoiled in consternation, especially the British, when the Russian proposal arrived.
Вот только эти две фразы сразу же наводят на сомнения в добросовестности автора. Первое - откуда оценка "well-founded"??? На чем реально основывались эти оценки? Как Германия могла воевать с Россией, не захватив перед этим Польшу и не обеспечив себе твердые позиции в остальных государствах Восточной Европы? Напомним, что Англия вступила в войну первой из великих держав, когда немцы напали на Польшу. Ни Англия, ни Франция не могли примириться с подобным усилением Германии в Европе. Последняя фраза о "реальных желаниях" также кажется несколько преувеличенной, несмотря на вторую цитату.
It was quickly learned that none of the threatened border states in East Europe wanted to be guaranteed by Russia. With relief, London replied to Russia on May 9, 1939, repeating its proposal that Russia give a unilateral guarantee to Poland and Rumania and adding the astounding proviso that the guarantee should go into effect only on the decision of the British Government.
Все верно, но это не был конец переговоров.
>In March 1939, the Soviet Union began negociations to form an anti-fascist alliance. Great Britain and France allowed time to pass, maneuvered. By this attitude, the two great `democracies' made Hitler understand that he could march against Stalin without being worried about the West. From June to August 1939, secret British-German talks took place: in exchange for guaranteeing the integrity of the British Empire, the British would allow Hitler to act freely in the East. On July 29, Charles Roden Buxton of the Labour Party fulfilled a secret mission for Prime Minister Chamberlain to the German Embassy. The following plan was elaborated:
>`Great Britain would express her willingness to conclude an agreement with Germany for a delimitation of spheres of interest ....
>`1) Germany promises not to interfere in British Empire affairs.
>`2) Great Britain promises fully to respect the German spheres of interest in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. A consequence of this would be that Great Britain would renounce the guarantees she gave to certain States in the German sphere of interest. Great Britain further promises to influence France to break up her alliance with the Soviet union and to give up her ties in Southeastern Europe.
>`3) Great Britain promises to give up the present negotiations for a pact with the Soviet Union.'
>Ludo Martens, Another view of Stalin, с ссылкой на Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R., Documents and Materials Relating to the Eve of the Second World War (New York: International Publishers, 1948). vol. 1, p. 271.
Все это конечно интересно, но трудно вяжется с действиями как Германии, так и Англии. Ведь ОБЕ страны поступили вопреки такому, казалось бы, приемлемому компромиссу. И поступило вопреки ему не только германское, но и английское правительство, возглавляемое тем же Чемберленом.
