...relevant: the surprising absence of a buildup of Malenkov personally. Since the first week, when he made the key funeral speech, was proclaimed Premier and was shown snuggled up to Stalin and Mao in a doctored photograph, he has been neither seen nor heard from. China's Chou En-lai proposed the Korean talks and Molotov seconded them. Beria publicly redressed the "error" of the doctors' purges. Voroshilov announced the price cuts.

At the first news of Stalin's death, Mao cabled President Shvernik, and Chou En-lai cabled Vishinsky; their condolence messages must have reached Shvernik and Vishinsky just as they were being fired, suggesting that Peking had no advance word of Malenkov's shake-up plans...
