Official Declaration of War
A state of war has been officially declared against the imperialist North Atlantic Treaty Organization and it's accompanying members by the peasants, soldiers, and Proletariat of the United Soviet Socialist Republics . After years of tension between the USSR and it's Socialist partners against the Capitalist West, we see no further reason to delay decisive action against the enemy. Our offensive into West Germany is seen as a necessity to secure the survival of Marxism-Leninism and our people.
The Soviet government wishes to state that civilians, regardless of personal dogma, will be spared from undue harm whenever possible. We urge all civilians who are in the way of the oncoming Socialast Offensive to flee before you are trapped in the middle of this already tragic war. Occupied land and its inhabitants who are peace-loving will be treated fairly and without exception. However, be warned, anti-communist partisans taking any offensive action against our glorious troops caught and/or found to be with sufficient proof of partisanship will be summarily and thoroughly dealt with.
NATO troops who surrender honorably will be treated with the utmost care and honor. We are not the butchers that Imperialist propaganda denounces us as, but liberators. This will remain so long as there is proof that the same care will be taken for Warsaw Pact troops.
To all currently neutral nations we extend our hand in friendship. And we wish to thank other Warsaw Pact governments for their participation in this conflict between freedom and tyranny.
Rodion Malinovsky, Defense Minister and former Marshall of the Soviet Union
