...Russian story. Of the five writers who put together last week's section, DEATH IN THE KREMLIN, one was a war correspondent on the Russian front during World War II. Another, as head of the United Press bureau at the U.N., covered the doings of Vishinsky, Molotov, Malik, Gromyko & Co., and their satellite supporters. In addition, TIME'S bureau chiefs in all the world capitals regularly report on the parts of the story that filter into their sectors from behind the Iron Curtain...

Beria, in his single reference to Malenkov, identified him as "the talented pupil of Lenin and the faithful comrade-in-arms of Stalin...
...China's Mao Tse-tung-just the three of them. This proved to be a mutilation of a picture taken three years ago at the signing of the Sino-Soviet treaty; some 15 other Soviet big shots, including No. 2 Man Lavrenty Beria and No. 3 Man Molotov, were excised from the picture, and Malenkov was moved closer...
