...soldier's return was chronicled in a subtle, stylish new poem by Tvardovsky that was spread across two pages of Izvestia under a warmly approving introduction by Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, Khrushchev's son-in-law. In Stalin's day, for all his buffoonery, Terkin ultimately had to symbolize "the ideal Soviet soldier"; in his latest adventure, he is a cockily irreverent figure who gets killed in battle and goes to a "nether world" that turns out to be a sort of Stalinsville on the Styx...
Everywhere there are signs of Nikita's three grandsons, the children of his daughter Rada and Izvestia Editor Aleksei Adzhubei. Toys and bikes are parked near flower beds. Aleksei Jr., a towheaded eight-year-old with hornrimmed glasses, zooms around in a green, gasoline-powered Cheetah Cub Car, an American-made miniature sports model that Dad picked up on a visit to the U.S. The seat of the Cheetah is covered with real leopard skin...
...Russian government mouthpiece, Izvestia, announced last week that British Journalist and longtime Foreign Office Staffer H.A.R. ("Kim") Philby, 51, the famed Third Man in the Burgess-Maclean spy case, had turned up in Moscow, where he will probably spend the rest of his wretched life.

Moscow's Izvestia then got into the act, insisting that, far from defecting, Dolnytsin had left his London post in 1961 and had been working ever since at the foreign ministry in Moscow (to prove its point, Izvestia even published his picture). Questions raised in Britain's House of Commons got only...
...Western journalists who happened to read it, the snarls they got in the monthly magazine Sovetskaya Pechat (Soviet Press) were hardly a surprise. The author was Aleksei Adzhubei, editor of Izvestia and son-in-law of Nikita Khrushchev. Beware your Western colleagues, said the suspicious editor. They preach the preposterous idea that there can be a peaceful coexistence of ideologies...
