Question: What year saw the publication of the version of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact established by the man who succeeded the leader of the group which created the Soviet state?

<P0-S0> Under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks established the Soviet state on 7 November [O.S. <P0-S1> 25 October] 1917, immediately after the Russian Provisional Government, which governed the Russian Republic, was overthrown during the October Revolution. <P0-S2> Initially, the state did not have an official name and wasn't recognized by neighboring countries for five months. <P0-S3> Meanwhile, anti-Bolsheviks coined the mocking label "Sovdepia" for the nascent state of the "Soviets of Workers' and Peasants' Deputies". <SEP> <P1-S0> in august 1940, the soviet union briefly suspended its deliveries under their commercial agreement after their relations were strained following disagreement over policy in romania, the soviet war with finland, germany falling behind in its deliveries of goods under the pact and with stalin worried that hitler's war with the west might end quickly after france signed an armistice. <P1-S1> the suspension created significant resource problems for germany. <P1-S2> by the end of august, relations improved again as the countries had redrawn the hungarian and romanian borders, settled some bulgarian claims and stalin was again convinced that germany would face a long war in the west with britain's improvement in its air battle with germany and the execution of an agreement between the united states and britain regarding destroyers and bases. <P1-S3> however, in late august, germany arranged its own occupation of romania, targeting oil fields. <P1-S4> the move raised tensions with the soviets, who responded that germany was supposed to have consulted with the soviet union under article iii of the molotov–ribbentrop pact. <SEP> <P2-S0> by the 1970s, both sides had become interested in making accommodations in order to create a more stable and predictable international system, inaugurating a period of détente that saw strategic arms limitation talks and the us opening relations with the people's republic of china as a strategic counterweight to the soviet union. <P2-S1> détente collapsed at the end of the decade with the beginning of the soviet -- afghan war in 1979. the early 1980s were another period of elevated tension, with the soviet downing of korean air lines flight 007 (1983), and the ``able archer ''nato military exercises (1983). <P2-S2> the united states increased diplomatic, military, and economic pressures on the soviet union, at a time when the communist state was already suffering from economic stagnation. <P2-S3> in the mid-1980s, the new soviet leader mikhail gorbachev introduced the liberalizing reforms of perestroika (`` reorganization'', 1987) and glasnost (``openness '', c. 1985) and ended soviet involvement in afghanistan. <P2-S4> pressures for national independence grew stronger in eastern europe, especially poland. <P2-S5> gorbachev meanwhile refused to use soviet troops to bolster the faltering warsaw pact regimes as had occurred in the past. <P2-S6> the result in 1989 was a wave of revolutions that peacefully (with the exception of the romanian revolution) overthrew all of the communist regimes of central and eastern europe. <P2-S7> the communist party of the soviet union itself lost control and was banned following an abortive coup attempt in august 1991. this in turn led to the formal dissolution of the ussr in december 1991 and the collapse of communist regimes in other countries such as mongolia, cambodia and south yemen. <P2-S8> the united states remained as the world's only superpower. <SEP> <P3-S0> The TSFSR existed from 1922 to 1936, when it was divided up into three separate entities (Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR, and Georgian SSR). <P3-S1> Armenians enjoyed a period of relative stability under Soviet rule. <P3-S2> They received medicine, food, and other provisions from Moscow, and communist rule proved to be a soothing balm in contrast to the turbulent final years of the Ottoman Empire. <P3-S3> The situation was difficult for the church, which struggled under Soviet rule. <P3-S4> After the death of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin took the reins of power and began an era of renewed fear and terror for Armenians. <SEP> <P4-S0> In response to the publication of the secret protocols and other secret German–Soviet relations documents in the State Department edition Nazi–Soviet Relations (1948), Stalin published Falsifiers of History, which included the claim that, during the Pact's operation, Stalin rejected Hitler's claim to share in a division of the world, without mentioning the Soviet offer to join the Axis. <P4-S1> That version persisted, without exception, in historical studies, official accounts, memoirs and textbooks published in the Soviet Union until the Soviet Union's dissolution.
