...Soviet Union now concluded its test series? This brought forth the whimsical Khrushchev: "We stop in the evening and start in the morning." He was asked what would happen to Vyacheslav Molotov, who last week grimly left Vienna for home-and seemed on the verge of being expelled from the Communist Party, together with other "antiparty" heretics. This summoned up the confident Khrushchev. Said he airily: "Molotov belongs to the past...
Blackest of All. Old Stonebottom Vyacheslav Molotov, senior member of the anti-Khrushchev clique ousted from power four years ago, was denounced as the blackest villain of all. After his exile as Ambassador to Outer Mongolia from 1957 to 1960, the ex-Foreign Minister had been given a respectable sinecure as Soviet delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. During the past year, Molotov had become a familiar Viennese sight as he strolled through the Belvedere Gardens or sipped coffee at cafes.

The other anti-party villains-Molotov (relatively safe in Vienna), Kaganovich, Malenkov, Pervukhin, Saburov and Shepilov -seemed like candidates for dismissal from the party, prison or worse...
...returned to the U.S. in 1946, laden with honors. But his public life was far from over: that same year, Harry Truman appointed Smith U.S. Ambassador to Russia. In that cold war outpost, Smith was a frustrated forward observer. Emerging from the Kremlin one day, he snapped to reporters: "Molotov, three hours. No Stalin. No comment." But his analysis of the Russians was shrewd. The Communists, said Beedle Smith, "have read Von Clausewitz and they believe that war is merely politics transferred to another sphere...
