Meeting in the Kremlin in Moscow between Stalin, Churchill, and Harrimann, the American ambassador to Moscow; one evening at 10 p.m., Churchill, during a meeting with Stalin, hands him a note with a note: Romania: 90% to you, 10% to us; Greece: 90% to us, 10% to you; Hungary: 50%/50%; Yugoslavia: 50%/50%; Bulgaria: 75% to you, 25% to us; and the note says: “Let’s settle our differences over the Balkans once and for all.” The note is translated into Russian for him; Stalin looks at the note for a few seconds and approves it with a large “V” written in blue pencil; the two notes, one in English and one in Russian, will be made public by the British secret services in 2005.
