Question: Where did the person who argued that the country that Mark Fradkin is a citizen of had become an imperialist power declare he would intervene in the Korean conflict?

Mao Zedong once argued that the Soviet Union had itself become an imperialist power while maintaining a socialist façade. Trotsky, and others, believed that the revolution could only succeed in Russia as part of a world revolution. Lenin wrote extensively on the matter and famously declared that Imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism. However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin established 'socialism in one country' for the Soviet Union, creating the model for subsequent inward looking Stalinist states and purging the early Internationalist elements. The internationalist tendencies of the early revolution would be abandoned until they returned in the framework of a client state in competition with the Americans during the Cold War. With the beginning of the new era, the after Stalin period called the "thaw", in the late 1950s, the new political leader Nikita Khrushchev put even more pressure on the Soviet-American relations starting a new wave of anti-imperialist propaganda. In his speech on the UN conference in 1960, he announced the continuation of the war on imperialism, stating that soon the people of different countries will come together and overthrow their imperialist leaders. Although the Soviet Union declared itself anti-imperialist, critics argue that it exhibited tendencies common to historic empires. Some scholars hold that the Soviet Union was a hybrid entity containing elements common to both multinational empires and nation states. It has also been argued that the USSR practiced colonialism as did other imperial powers and was carrying on the old Russian tradition of expansion and control. Moreover, the ideas of imperialism were widely spread in action on the higher levels of government. Non Russian Marxists within the Russian Federation and later the USSR, like Sultan Galiev and Vasyl Shakhrai, considered the Soviet Regime a renewed version of the Russian imperialism and colonialism. <SEP> unhappy with this change of policy by the portuguese government, napoleon sent an army to invade portugal. on 17 october 1807, 24,000 french troops under general junot crossed the pyrenees with spanish cooperation and headed towards portugal to enforce napoleon's orders. this attack was the first step in what would eventually become the peninsular war, a six-year struggle that significantly sapped french strength. throughout the winter of 1808, french agents became increasingly involved in spanish internal affairs, attempting to incite discord between members of the spanish royal family. on 16 february 1808, secret french machinations finally materialized when napoleon announced that he would intervene to mediate between the rival political factions in the country. marshal murat led 120,000 troops into spain and the french arrived in madrid on 24 march, where wild riots against the occupation erupted just a few weeks later. napoleon appointed his brother, joseph bonaparte, as the new king of spain in the summer of 1808. the appointment enraged a heavily religious and conservative spanish population. resistance to french aggression soon spread throughout the country. the shocking french defeat at the battle of bailén in july gave hope to napoleon's enemies and partly persuaded the french emperor to intervene in person. <SEP> On 27 June 1950, two days after the KPA invaded and three months before the Chinese entered the war, President Truman dispatched the United States Seventh Fleet to the Taiwan Strait, to prevent hostilities between the Nationalist Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). On 4 August 1950, with the PRC invasion of Taiwan aborted, Mao Zedong reported to the Politburo that he would intervene in Korea when the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Taiwan invasion force was reorganized into the PLA North East Frontier Force. China justified its entry into the war as a response to "American aggression in the guise of the UN". <SEP> In 1979, Mark Fradkin received the USSR State Prize and, in 1985, he was granted the status of the People’s Artist of the USSR. Mark Grigoryevich Fradkin (Марк Григорьевич Фрадкин, May 4, 1914 in Vitebsk, Russian Empire, now Belarus – April 4, 1990 in Moscow, USSR) was a Soviet composer, author of numerous popular songs (many of which were co-written with poet Yevgeny Dolmatovsky) and musical scores for forty films. <SEP> cultural imperialism is when a country's influence is felt in social and cultural circles, i.e. its soft power, such that it changes the moral, cultural and societal worldview of another. this is more than just "foreign" music, television or film becoming popular with young people, but that popular culture changing their own expectations of life and their desire for their own country to become more like the foreign country depicted. for example, depictions of opulent american lifestyles in the soap opera dallas during the cold war changed the expectations of romanians; a more recent example is the influence of smuggled south korean drama series in north korea. the importance of soft power is not lost on authoritarian regimes, fighting such influence with bans on foreign popular culture, control of the internet and unauthorised satellite dishes etc. nor is such a usage of culture recent, as part of roman imperialism local elites would be exposed to the benefits and luxuries of roman culture and lifestyle, with the aim that they would then become willing participants.
