Yezhov started to deny saying any such thing. Stalin then called Georgi Malenkov, who was at that time in charge of cadres for the Moscow party organization, as his witness, saying now that he was the one who had told him that I was really a Pole. Malenkov too denied he had said anything of the kind. The hunt for Poles had reached the point that Stalin was ready to turn Russians into Poles...
...Blackford Oakes, William F. Buckley's tony spy hero of six previous novels. The cold is something he never had to come in out of. He knows that he works for the good guys. In his latest adventure, Blacky confronts the Evil Empire, circa 1954. Stalin is dead, Georgi Malenkov sits unsurely as party chief, and the ruthless Lavrenti Beria, head of the KGB, plots his own ascension. The monolith is in transition, and the U.S. and Britain launch a secret commando raid to overthrow the Soviet- dominated government of Albania. The assault fails because of traitors in high places...
Twice during the week Agca elaborated on his earlier claim that the papal shooting had been commissioned for about $1.3 million by "Malenkov," whom he | identified as the first secretary of the Soviet embassy in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. Ten months before the assassination attempt, Agca said, he, Celik and two other Turks attended a strategy meeting in Room 911 of the Hotel Vitosha in Sofia at which Malenkov was present.

...charges were tantalizing, but Agca's claims, as in earlier testimony, were tainted by reversals and errors. He said that the mysterious Soviet diplomat who purportedly put up the more than $1 million to kill the Pope went by the name of "Milenkov or Malenkov." During pretrial testimony, however, Agca had identified one "Malenkov" as a Bulgarian spy who had introduced him to a Soviet attache in Tehran in 1980. More baffling still, in January 1984 Agca said he had invented both Malenkov and the Soviet official. Last week Agca described the bombing of the radio stations as having taken...
...thing the West does know about the Soviet Union is that the people who run it cling to their posts either until their comrades turn against them and throw them out, as happened with Georgi Malenkov and Nikita Khrushchev, or until Comrade Death intervenes, as occurred with Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and, last week, with Konstantin Chernenko. One of the more ironic flaws of the Soviet system is that while it is dedicated to the acquisition, consolidation and extension of power, while it prides itself on discipline and the subordination of the individual to the institution...
