127. The Byelorussian people cannot forget the casualties they suffered as the result of Nazi Germany's aggression. Together with the great family of socialist States and other peace-loving countries, Byelorussia is determined to do everything it can to prevent another world war. The lessons of the past show how pernicious is the policy of appeasing aggressors, how important it is to unmask them in time, frustrate their criminal plans and establish a united front to combat aggression. It is for this reason that the Byelorussian people are watching with such great alarm the dangerous development of the situation in the heart of Europe, in the Federal Republic of Germany, where militaristic, revanchist forces are again on the rise. The activities of those forces create a threat to peace in Europe, and thus to peace throughout the world. As L. I. Brezhney, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, stated in an address to a recent plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party in September, in the case of the Federal Republic of Germany "we are dealing with the main centre of reaction and militarism in Europe, with the chief ally of the aggressive imperialist circles in the United States of America".
