But at various times in his meteoric career this tough, confident and shrewd man has been described as "the Molotov of Gaullism," "Jacques the Wrecker," "the Big Alley Cat," "a born secret policeman," and "the most dangerous man in France."

To the routine condemnation of the "loathsome" Malenkov and his allies, Kaganovich, Molotov and Bulganin, Leningrad's party secretary demanded that former Presidium Members Mikhail Pervukhin and Maxim Saburov admit that they, too, had sided with "the anti-party group" against Khrushchev...
