...response has been remarkably positive. In an unusually long and cordial congratulatory telegram to Brandt, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin expressed hope for "an improvement in the relations between the Federal Republic and the Soviet Union."

According to the official slogan, Egyptian-Soviet friendship is "loftier than the Aswan Dam and more solid than the Pyramids." In fact, the relationship is pragmatic rather than cordial. Even during construction at Aswan where 3,000 Soviet engineers lived and worked shoulder to shoulder with Egyptians, few friendships developed. In Cairo today, thousands of Russians live clannishly in their own apartment blocks, drink at their own clubs and shop at their own commissaries-from which some...
