...gains among the population is that those dismissed have no following." At a U.S. embassy party, First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan-who, as usual, had lithely jumped the right way-promised: "Things are going to be the same as before, only better." Scores of cities and towns named Molotov or Kaganovich petitioned with punctual unanimity to have their names changed. Ukrainian Premier Nikifor Kalchenko charged that during Stalin's reign Kaganovich had made "grave and unfounded accusations" against Ukrainian leaders, many of whom were purged. In Moscow, Presidium Alternate Alexei Kosygin said of Molotov and Kaganovich: "The basic fault...
...were guilty of "conspiratorial action." The Soviet army newspaper Red Star said that the accused had threatened to undermine the foundations of Soviet military security-a move "which would have played into the hands of the enemies of the Soviet state, the imperialist aggressors."

In his famous secret, weeping, emotional speech to the same body ten days later, in which he denounced Stalin as a "sickly suspicious," bloodthirsty tyrant, Khrushchev tried to take from Stalin even his chief glory as victor in war, and in doing so, told an anecdote which showed that Malenkov was close to Stalin's side during his most panicky...
...this point Malenkov may have made common cause with those old Stalinists, Molotov and Kaganovich, neither of whom Malenkov normally would have chosen as allies. They did not like Khrushchev's plan either, and together the three were able momentarily to check Khrushchev's headlong pursuit of power-partly because Khrushchev was also embarrassed by the Hungarian revolt then raging. At the Central Committee meeting last December, Khrushchev's industrial plans were considerably amended.
