 * Symbol confirmed.svg Very interesting and well written, it was a pleasure to read. Promoted to GA recently enough, easily long enough, no policy issues that I can see. The Stalin-FDR hook is interesting, short enough, and the citation checks out. The image is appropriately tagged. QPQ done. Good to go. — Kpalion(talk) 16:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
