...ostracized in Russia as "Capitalist spies," sat in their embassies and legations while Bill Bullitt hobnobbed with: Premier Molotov, dry, dynamic and full of statistics, who signs decrees for the State while Stalin signs them for the Party. Stalin's Front Man, gay and juicy old President Mikhail Kalinin, whom Ambassador Bullitt called "charming." Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff whose bright-eyed children Tanya and Mischa convinced nine-year-old Anne Bullitt that "Moscow is swell and the theatres are grand!" War Minister Klimentiy ("Klim") Vorishilov, who was picked and successfully popularized by Stalin to efface from Soviet minds...
Commissar of Health Mikhail Fedorovich Vladimirsky told the inquisitors emphatically that in the U. S. S. R.† "medical aid is given without payment to all workers and peasants, who form the bulk of the population. For the rest, the desire is to serve all gratuitously but hitherto they have not been included in the general service, the first call being for the workers.

...with him about the child they were expecting. But Olga Knipper had a miscarriage, and the Chekhov who plays a waiter in this picture is not-as the arrogance of the famous name he uses without modifiers seems to proclaim-Chekhov's son, but Chekhov's nephew Mikhail. It is an earnest but not very adept story of the hatred of privilege that smoldered so long in the hearts of the Russian people. Best sequence: the banknote that Mikhail Chekhov picks up and hides, first in his sock, then under his shirtfront, then in his pocket, and finally...
