Quote from the Soviet film "The Great Citizen" (1937):
"Oh, twenty years after a GOOD WAR, get out and take a look at the Soviet Union - composed of lets say thirty or forty republics." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXQo1o4RrpI )
On January 1, 1937 as part of the so-called USSR there were only 11 republics, implying that USSR has planned to annex at least 20 European states during WW2. Communist propaganda also portrayed total war as something "good".
After the war the propaganda has drastically changed, now claiming that "USSR is the Bastion of Peace" (СССР оплот МИРА). But there is a catch, since in Russian language "mir" (МИР) can mean both "peace" and "world". So when a Russian says "we need mir", he can mean botch "we need peace" and "we need the whole world". In a sense, for Russians peace wont happen until they enslave the whole world.
