...legs just wouldn't move properly." The music was rather slow and dignified, the polkas, waltzes and 19th century Russian ballroom dances that the Czar's court once favored. President Kliment Voroshilov forgot his 78 years to sail off across the floor with Ekaterina Furtseva, the only woman member of the ruling Presidium. Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan flashed gaily around with one commissar's wife after another. It was a long way from the barricades...
...Faces. Of the old Presidium, only Khrushchev, Bulganin, Voroshilov, Mikoyan, Suslov and Kirichenko remained. Up from the ranks of the alternates came plump, photogenic Ekaterina Furtseva, long a particular Khrushchev favorite, and the first woman ever to reach the Presidium. Along with her came chesty Marshal Zhukov, hero of Berlin, 69-year-old Trade Union Specialist Nikolai Shvernik, Frol Kozlov, a Leningrad party boss who backed up Khrushchev's stand on the Leningrad Case at the 20th Party Congress, and Leonid Brezhnev, who had worked with Khrushchev years ago when he was cleaning out opposition in the Ukraine.

Under the watchful eye of Soviet "Observer" Ekaterina Furtseva, the only woman member of Russia's ruling Presidium, stoop-shouldered Palmiro Togliatti played it safe, confined himself to abstruse analyses of Marxist doctrine and repeated pledges of allegiance to the Kremlin.

The butcher, accompanied by Russia's ranking woman Communist, Ekaterina Furtseva, was on his way to Rome to lay down the line to the eighth congress of the Italian Communist Party, which until the events in Hungary claimed 2,130,000 members (probable current membership: less than 1,500,000). Suslov is the least known of the top half dozen Kremlin leaders, but what is known of him is not endearing: he is a flinty, ascetic Stalinist, a specialist...
...plain woman devoid of jewelry or makeup, the U.S.S.R.'s top lady Communist, Ekaterina Furtseva, 46, an alternate member of the Soviet Party Presidium and wife of the Soviet Ambassador to Yugoslavia, arrived in London on her first trip to the West. Slated to be a fort night's guest of the British Inter-Parliamentary Union, Comrade Furtseva, accompanied by her daughter Svetlana, 14, overflowed with gratitude for her invitation, glowingly lauded the growing affinity between the U.S.S.R. and the country of "Newton, Shakespeare and Byron...
