Post-War. Well, you see, of course, during the War it was the thing to do to be pro-Russia, which sort of made you pro-Communist. During the War nobody was ever attacked for being pro-Communist. In fact, if you were anti-Communist it was as if you were pro-Hitler. All of these things are a little difficult to get into perspective fifty years later.
