...prove as momentous as the 20th Congress three years ago. at which Khrushchev tearfully and historically denounced Stalin. For weeks past, ominous hints have been gathering that Khrushchev might use the occasion to deal a final blow to his disgraced foes -the "antiparty group" composed of Malenkov, Bulganin. Molotov, Shepilov and Kaganovich. In the usual Communist technique, a crime has to be found to match the punishment, and Khrushchev may well blame the U.S.S.R.'s prime economic problem -low agricultural productivity -on the antiparty men, thus satisfying two desires at once. But the rest of the world was likely...
Moscow's minutes, which sold out within hours, showed that after Bulganin admitted "joining" the "antiparty activities of Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich and Shepilov," speaker after speaker rose-obviously in a coordinated assault-to assail his confession as "feeble" and "unconvincing." Said Agriculture Minister Vladimir Matskevich, a longtime Khrushchev henchman from the Ukraine: "Bulganin now pretends that he only joined the group at the last minute. This is not true.

If therefore I once behaved correctly, I subsequently shared with them all the antiparty...
...living ghosts of his old comrades in Stalinism apparently still haunt Nikita Khrushchev-although Malenkov presumably runs a power station, Shepilov teaches school, Molotov tends diplomacy in the outer wastes of Mongolia, and Zhukov has reportedly retired from active military duty. Three weeks ago, in terms Communists recognized as portentous, Pravda published two front-page editorials warning that the party "cannot forget" the opposition of "Malenkov, Kaganovich, Molotov and Shepilov." At a Lenin birthday celebration, in Khrushchev's presence, Party Secretary Petr Pospelov attacked the fallen "antiparty group" by name for their "fierce resistance." Finally, Khrushchev himself joined vigorously...
...library (and so firmly in Hitler's bad book that Gunther was marked for postwar liquidation by the Nazis). Inside Asia was on Harry Truman's desk when he broadcast his V-J day speech. Inside Africa was studied dutifully by Russia's Dmitry Shepilov, who cited it in a United Nations tirade against British colonialism, and by Richard Nixon, whose party was weighted with copies of the book on his 1957 visit to Africa...
