Khruschev made a similar move last June, when he summoned the full party Central Committee to confirm the purge of Georgi Malenkov, Lazar Kaganovich and V. M. Molotov from their party and government posts...
...some time last summer a Moscow subway station stood nameless after painters hastily daubed over the signs proclaiming it Kaganovich Station. Other painters, printers and planners got busy all over the Soviet Union erasing the names of Lazar Kaganovich's comrades-in-disgrace-Georgy Malenkov and Vyacheslav Molotov-from factories, village squares and streets. Towns like Voroshilovgrad and Mikoyanabad, whose namesakes are still untoppled, continued to bear their old names-but there will be no additions to the roster. Last week, in the interest of efficiency, economy, and the vagaries of internal Russian power politics, the Presidium...
When Gertrude Stein went on a mystery-reading kick, the American Library in Paris fed her doses of 18 whodunits a week; Poet Stephen Vincent Benét researched John Brown's Body within its walls, and Molotov once checked out an almanac.

In their family circle Mikoyan relaxed and played parlor games. But in that winter Mikoyan...
...their return to Moscow the junketers faced a full-dress attack by Old Stone-bottom Molotov. Playing up to a Western-minded opportunist like Tito, declared Molotov. was a betrayal of Leninist-Stalinist policies that he, as the last active co-worker of Lenin, could only condemn. It was Old Bolshevik Mikoyan who rose in the secret Central Committee session to answer that the Yugoslavs could and must be drawn back into the Soviet orbit, and to go on to indict past Russian policy-including his own trade deals-for failing to recognize and adjust to nationalist tendencies...
