...door opens. The figure enters. It pauses. It is a man wearing a greatcoat-putts down his collar. He goes to a small oil lamp and lights it. In the light we see Beria's face . . . The door creaks open . . . Another bundled figure enters the dacha . . . It is Malenkov...
Role Fitters. It was almost easy to fit actors to the roles as they emerged in the script. Actor Thomas Gomez was a natural; without a bit of special makeup he was Georgy Malenkov's double. Luther Adler fitted smoothly into place as Molotov, Oscar Homolka as Khrushchev, E. G. Marshall as Beria. Stalin was harder to cast. After considering Laurence Olivier and José Ferrer, Coe decided on Melvyn Douglas, whom he had admired as Clarence Darrow in Inherit the Wind...
...happening rather than what is going to happen." Still, while explaining what is happening behind the Iron Curtain, Zorza has often found patterns foreshadowing later events. In November 1955, after studying the identities and associations of security officials purged in some trials in Tvilisi, Zorza concluded that onetime Premier Malenkov was in trouble-a full 16 months before he was relieved as Minister of Electric Power Stations and relegated to a job in remote Kazakhstan.

...earlier judgment, said the committee, was the fault of Stalin, who was listening to such notorious tin ears as Beria, Molotov and Malenkov. Presumably, the "socialist realism" of Shostakovich's, Khachaturian's and Prokofiev's more recent works also helped clear the composers' names. But for the younger generation of Soviet composers, nothing had changed. In a burst of gratitude to the party, Shostakovich, 51, and Khachaturian, 55, promptly approved a decree criticizing "unhealthy trends" in recent musical works. To disassociate himself from the dangerous moderns, third-rate Composer Vano Muradeli, 50, chimed in with...
