      abstract = {After the Second World War Stalin's highest priority in  Eastern Europe was the takeover of Poland. The rigged  elections in January 1947 followed by the merger of the  Communist and Socialist parties in December 1948 assured  the complete Communist takeover of the country. The new  regime exercised near total control over society and  established a command economy. Hence, for example,  documents on internal security force activities in 1949  note "intensified attacks by Anglo-American imperialism."  The documents here are sourced from the Central Files of  the General Records of the Department of State. The records  are under the jurisdiction of the Legislative and  Diplomatic Branch of the Civil Archives, National Archives  and Records Administration, Washington, D.C.},
