Pocket-sized Albania has always been the most backward of the Iron Curtain countries and to the Kremlin presents the additional problem of being the only satellite isolated from Moscow by unfriendly territory (since the defection of Tito in Yugoslavia). Albania's 1,222,000 people, 70% Moslem, are vigorous and nationalistic. In trying to rule them, the Communists have involved themselves in a succession of purges and intramural rivalries. Last week a long-simmering feud between Albania's Premier Enver Hoxha and its Red police chief boiled up anew. When the steam lifted, handsome Hoxha...
...Long acknowledged the No. 1 newspaper specialist on Reds, he has been exposing Communists since 1938, and, unlike many other anti-Communist writers, he was never a Communist himself. A hard-digging reporter, he backed his stories with solid documentation-e.g., he exposed Gerhart Eisler as the top Kremlin agent in the U.S. the day before the FBI picked Eisler up. For his articles "on the infiltration of Communists in the U.S.," Woltman won a Pulitzer Prize...
...From his briefcase Gouzenko produced 109 startling documents which laid bare the Russian atomic espionage network in North America and paved the way to the conviction of British Physicists Klaus Fuchs and Allan Nunn May, the Rosenbergs and half a dozen others who stole allied atomic secrets for the Kremlin. Except for acting as a government witness in numerous spy trials, Gouzenko has since shown himself only with a mask over his head, and lived with his wife and two children somewhere near Toronto under a "cover" name known to few save the Canadian Mounties, who until recently guarded...
Gorin likes Feodor, and before long Novikov's subtle brand of doubletalk has the old writer naively whitewashing Stalinist tyranny by eulogizing Russia's mad despot, Ivan the Terrible. The Kremlin bravos. But Gorin is heartsick at betraying his own values, and makes indiscreet remarks about the regime. From Veria, Feodor receives new orders, and he carries them out by smashing Gorin's head against a radiator until it is a bloody pulp...
...More violent than Maxim Gorky's own death in August 1936. At first Moscow reported the old (68) man's death as natural, but in the vast purge trials two years later, the Kremlin charged NKVD Chief Genrikh Yagoda with hastening Gorky's end (enforced exposure to grippe, influenza and the weather) and masterminding the killing of Gorky's son. Gouzenko believes Yagoda killed Gorky on Stalin's orders...
