...plot by "monopoly capitalists" to perpetuate the enslavement of the working class and by "neocolonialists" to exploit the newly independent nations. But last week Moscow more openly recognized the Common Market for what it is: a grave threat to Communism. With Nikita Khrushchev smiling benevolently near by, Propagandist Leonid Ilyichev proclaimed from a Moscow platform that "integrated Europe" merely disguises the old capitalist rivalries: 'It represents a new tangle of acute antagonism between its members. It is one of the new aggressive and anti-popular unions which are aimed against the socialist camp...

...Communists, augmented by busloads of comrades from afar, took over key positions along his route and at prearranged signals waved red flags and chanted admiring slogans. In Marseille, where the shouts were loudest, Khrushchev Son-in-Law (and Izvestia Editor) Alexei Adzhubei admiringly remarked to Soviet Propaganda Boss Leonid Ilyichev: "Comrade, you always handle the Agitprop well!" Spiking the Canon. Clicking away insatiably, Soviet cameramen captured scenes of enthusiasm designed to convince movie audiences behind the Iron Curtain that all France had embraced Nikita...
