...Kremlin's Great Hall at the 20th Party Congress in 1956 to deliver his weeping, three-hour indictment of Stalin as a "murderer" and "maniac." They sprang their showdown last June, and it was a close thing. The majority present voted to deny Khrushchev the chair, and Bulganin took over. Did the Old Guard think that because they had destroyed Stalin's police power, they could vote Khrushchev freely out of his job as they had voted Malenkov out before him?

If the two Germanys would agree to this, said Bulganin, Poland and Czechoslovakia would also adhere to the ban. A de-atomized zone would be created across Central Europe; tensions might be reduced...
Close to the Nerve. Russia's goateed Premier Nikolai Bulganin plunged into this already troubled atmosphere with purposeful skill. In separate notes to NATO nations Bulganin warned that the placement of U.S. missiles in Europe would "seriously" increase "the danger of a new war." In each the Russian Premier carefully jabbed at the recipient's most-exposed nerve. Examples...
