Could Lenin and the subsequent Soviet leaders be paranoid of western intenions because of the 1917-1919 invasion of "stategic points" within the Soviet Union by the western allies in support of zarist and White Russian forces? their subsequent withdralw was oneof Woodrow Wilson's 14 points leading to the establishment of the League of Nations.--Tomtom 15:16, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Those invasions were rather half-hearted and were not intended to effect a change of regime. However from the Soviet viewpoint they confirmed their suspicions and led to a Soviet defense strategy which assumed an invasion from the west and serious efforts to monitor the intentions of European countries.
