...fashion of making martyrs out of men who are traitors in their own country, Soviet Russia last month issued a postage stamp honoring Greek Communist Leader Emmanuel Glezos, 37, recently convicted in Greece for spying against his own country (TIME, Aug. 3). To the U.S.S.R.'s Ambassador Mikhail Sergeev, Greece angrily protested the issuance of the stamp.

It was a great coup for Russian Ambassador Mikhail Sergeev: for 2½ years he has been backslapping through the Grecian hinterlands, working to efface the bitter anti-Communism of civil-war days...
...Greece's No. 1 newspaper, Kathimerini, was impressed by the beauties of Moscow but depressed by the "civilian army of robots that walk the streets, colorless, drab and ugly. Where are the people that would give this city life, joy, happiness, a smile in this regimented society?" Ambassador Sergeev might well have thought twice about trying to fool the Greeks on the meaning of democracy, since they invented the word...
