Behind the façade of normalcy, grim business proceeded. The Chaika limousines of Moscow's top officials rolled in and out of the Kremlin as the Council of Ministers met. Defense Minister Marshal Rodion Malinovsky put his vast air, sea and land force on a state of alert. None of this could disguise the fact that, stage by stage, Khrushchev was backing away from conflict. His offer of a deal with the West told the astonished Russian public for the first time that Russian missiles were in Cuba. His agreement to withdraw them was of course hailed...

Soviet officials ridiculed the fitful U.S. shelter program as a waste of time and money. Shelters, said Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Y. Malinovsky, are "nothing but previously prepared tombs...
...forgiven. An armed guard barred his way. Voroshilov made a second attempt to join his old comrades through a side door of the Mausoleum and was ejected by a plainclothesman. He then stood pathetically beside a white-smocked woman selling ice cream and watched somberly as Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky stood in the tonneau of an open Zil auto and took the roaring salute of the assembled soldiers. Old Comrad Voroshilov must have reflected how often he had played the very same role, but mounted on a white charger instead of riding...
