Unexpected Visitor. In Brazil, the Russians have developed surprisingly close commercial, cultural and personal ties with the country's tough, anti-Communist military government. Last August, Russian Foreign Trade Minister Nikolai Patolichev visited Rio and signed a four-year $100 million credit agreement, making Brazil the biggest recipient of Russian aid in Latin America after Cuba. In Argentina, Soviet relations are almost as cordial with Strongman Juan Carlos Ongania's military government; total trade between the two has gone from $18 million in 1964 to $110 million last year...
Like Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny in Italy a week earlier, Kosygin got a friendly welcome in Britain-though anti-Communist demonstrators dogged his path. When he could get away from the high and mighty, Kosygin got to shake a few plebeian hands, sometimes in response to cries of: "Give us a shake, mate."

The Russian leadership is conducting a country-wide indoctrination program to make sure that every Soviet serviceman and citizen understands that the enemy lies at his door to the East.

...state to visit Italy arrived in danger of assassi nation, spent the entire time in a secluded castle near Turin and never even got to Rome. That was in 1909, and Czar Nicholas II had plenty to fear from the Italian left. Last week, as So viet President Nikolai Podgorny began a week-long tour of Italy, the climate was different. Italy, after all, has the West's largest Communist Party (1,541,000 members), and one Italian in four votes Communist in national elections. Podgorny's route was punctuated by a few bomb blasts-including one that...
...black African states, which had argued for a week for stronger stuff, were predictably unhappy. "The resolution is defective," said Nigeria's moderate Ambassador Chief S. O. Adebo. Leading the chorus of complaint was Russia's Nikolai Fedorenko. who picked up some political change in Africa by abstaining-along with Bulgaria and Mali-on the ground that the sanctions did not go far enough. France also abstained from voting, but for a different reason: in the opinion of General de Gaulle, Rhodesia is strictly a British problem and outside U.N. jurisdiction...
