Tehran 43. The Meeting That Determined the Course of History

In late autumn of 1943, the fate of the post-war world order was being determined not on the battlefields of Eastern Europe, but in the capital of Iran — Tehran. It was here, from November 28 to December 1, 1943, that the historic meeting of the leaders of the Anti-Hitler Coalition — Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States of America — took place. In Tehran, the Big Three — Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin Roosevelt — gathered together for the first time to discuss plans for the defeat of Nazi Germany and its allies, as well as the post-war arrangement of the world. Why did Tehran become the meeting place for the Allies? After all, on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, Iran became a refuge for hundreds of enemy agents. What reasons led to the implementation of the Soviet-British operation "Consent" in Iran, and why did the danger of an assassination attempt on the Big Three in Tehran exist two years later? What were the outcomes of the Tehran Conference? Did it really change the world? Find the answers in Konstantin Semenov's documentary investigation.
