“The winds of change were never warm.”
This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

Found the picture
Thank you for fixing the link you cited. I’ve seen that photo many times—it’s widely circulated. But it’s not the same as the footage. The photo doesn’t capture the actual interaction or the chair movement. That’s why I cited the video, not just a still image. It’s a different kind of evidence—and it speaks for itself.
