Liaison Man. In the roster of Soviet eminence, Bulganin until recently took a back seat, not only to the party bosses, Khrushchev and Malenkov and Kaganovich, and the government officials, Molotov and Mikoyan, but even, in some respects, to his subordinate: Hero of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov. Bulganin learned self-effacement in the hardest school of all: Joseph Stalin's, where self-effacement was often the price of survival. On the dictator's 70th birthday, every member of the Politburo was required to compose a paean of praise for the Soviet newspapers. Khrushchev contrived to include...
...round-polled Nikita Khrushchev, 61, First Secretary of the Russian Communist Party. With him was an imposing array of politburocrats: goateed Premier Nikolai Bulganin, smiling professorially; First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, the clever Armenian who masterminds Soviet trade policy; Old Bolshevik Lazar Kaganovich and Young Bolshevik Maxim Saburov; Georgy Malenkov, once Premier, now electrical-power boss; cob-nosed Andrei Gromyko, looking for once as if he had not an enemy in sight...
Khrushchev's blundering attempts to meet the agricultural crisis (for which Georgy Malenkov took the rap last February) have not helped significantly. In some areas of Siberia farmers are reported deserting the collectives to set up independent farms, or to join roving work gangs, where they probably eat better. To curb this kind of deviation, Minister of Internal Affairs Sergei Kruglov last month took a swing through Kazakhstan, one of the principal collective farm areas, with a posse of MVD police...
...Communist Party's Central Committee and, by virtue of his long membership in its organizational and political bureaus, possibly its most influential member. Men who have worked close to Kaganovich adjudge him its "thinking" member. Identified in the past with the rise to power of both Khrushchev and Malenkov, and held in some trust by both factions, old Bolshevik Kaganovich is regarded as the chief advocate of the current "collective leadership," under which all the wary Kremlin gang can hang on to their lives and jobs if no one of them gets too strong...
...allied unity. The second is that since the death of Stalin it has been meaningless. Without taking at its face value all that the Russians say about collective leadership, it is still obvious that in Moscow now there is no "highest level." The mystical belief that a Churchill-Malenkov meeting could dissolve the solid differences that an Eden-Molotov meeting would merely register has lost all content today when the prospect is an Eden-Bulganin or Attlee-Bulganin meeting. No British government can undertake to ease an anxious world of its fears merely by convening a new conference. It obviously...
