...reservations, Salisbury did not rule out the authenticity of the reminiscences. Indeed, he speculated that "one link" in the book's appearance might be Khrushchev's son-in-law, Aleksei Adzhubei, a former editor of the government newspaper Izvestia. The same hunch appeared in a story by the Times's Moscow correspondent, Bernard Gwertzman: "It is not ruled out that some member of his family or a close friend had been taking notes of discussions with him or had tape recordings, and arranged to smuggle them...

The Soviets were rooting for a Brandt victory as the lesser of two evils in the election, and Izvestia called him "more realistic on certain foreign policy questions."
