...with modern weapons would be "the destruction of world civilization"-and this was news in Russia's censored press. Last week the army newspaper, Red Star, tried to explain what an H-bomb was like: it was like the explosion of the great Tunguska meteorite which struck Siberia in 1908 with a force of a million tons, "and felled the forest over an area of 100 square kilometers...

Merkulov was confirmed as Minister of State Control by Malenkov himself, and he was still officially in office until last week. Goglidze, "the czar of Soviet Siberia," controlled an area almost as big as the U.S. and was responsible, under Beria, for the vast new arms plants that Moscow hopes will one day supply the Red armies in the Orient...
