Moscow, Leningrad, Vladivostok, Murmansk, the very next day after the outbreak of the third world war on July 2, 1945, the largest cities of the Soviet Union would resemble ghosts, in which it is easier to find the dead than the living. Several million Soviet citizens were to die under air strikes, the same as the Anglo-American army destroyed Hamburg, Tokyo, causing a fiery devastating tornado with incendiary bombs.

This truly inconceivable plan of British Prime Minister Churchill was considered for a long time the object of the imagination of Soviet intelligence, and only after among the documents of the British state archives, a report of the General Staff called Operation Unthinkable was discovered with Winston Churchill's personal notes in the margins and accurate details of the attack on the Soviet Union. London recognized the Third World War in July 1945, could be a catastrophic reality.

The overall political goal of the operation is to impose the will of the United States and the British Empire on the Russians. Dozens of sheets describing how and by what means Great Britain, in alliance with the United States, planned to introduce a new bloody war.

In the documents 70 years ago, not only the calculations of the air company, but also the sea, land. It was a fairly detailed and elaborate plan. For Churchill, Poland was the key to Eastern Europe, but after the Yalta Conference, it became clear to the British Prime Minister that the communist regime in Warsaw was only a matter of time, and there the whole old world would want to stand under the red banner.

The Soviet Union was not only at the peak of its military power, as proved by the operation to capture Berlin, but also worldwide popularity. Therefore, on May 22, 1945, just 12 days after the end of the Great Patriotic War, Churchill's table laid down a plan for another total war against the Soviet Union.

Churchill was unable to carry out the bloody operation, because the British voted against it without even knowing it. Residents of foggy Albion did not support the Conservatives in the parliamentary elections in the summer of 1945 and did not allow Churchill to once again take the post of prime minister. Later, a nuclear bomb was tested in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Unthinkable plan was adjusted to take into account new destructive weapons. Only the number of bombs intended for Soviet cities changed.
