...December 1944, under which De Gaulle and Stalin agreed to "eliminate any new menace from Germany." Although no one thought that De Gaulle was ready-just yet-for a "reversal of alliances" that would align France and Russia against West Germany, De Gaulle's aggressive antipathy toward Bonn is becoming ever clearer...

What does bother them are the recent blunt remarks attributed to De Gaulle that he is now dead set against Bonn's having control of any strategic nuclear weaponry, or even engaging in nuclear planning.

To Kremlinologists from Bonn to Washington, this suggested that Sinyavsky might be one of those Russian writers who produce critical work that is acceptable for open publication, but whose best efforts are for the "drawer"-they cannot be published anywhere but in the West. Thus a foreigner reading a noted critic's articles in Literaturnaya Gazeta may get a wholly false impression of his talents. Of one bottom-drawer writer, a Soviet official recently exclaimed...
