During the next six days, Boulat took 2,000 pictures, rushing about Moscow as though he were "shooting a series of rooms whose doors were just about to swing shut." When he came to photograph interiors of the Kremlin, the spirit of Geneva blew a fuse: he got a flat refusal on the excuse that he had insufficient equipment -even though he had six cameras, electronic flashguns and enough lighting gear to illuminate the Kremlin's largest chambers. But the pictures he came back with added up to an exclusive color portfolio for this week's report...

Deprived of their Stalin prizes, the architects were accused of building "utterly unjustified tower superstructures, decorative colonnades and porticoes . . . as a result of which, state resources have been overspent...
...past, he could always cover up his defeats in his false-premise logic and steal the headlines by explosive charges of warmongering. Last week he seemed sadly hampered by the new rules imposed by the Spirit of Geneva. The relaxation it had produced in Europe was serving the Kremlin well, and Molotov was apparently under strict orders not to spoil this pleasant atmosphere...
