Obviously Nikita Khrushchev had not overnight abandoned his belief that "Social Democrats are the worst enemies of the working class." nor were the Socialists of Western Europe eager to revive their prewar Popular Front with the Communists: too many of their comrades have died in Arctic prison camps.
