...which the U.S. came to share with the Russians a desire to stabilize the present division of power and influence, and now the reversal of alliances cannot be effected overnight. Thus the mass media had to show tact in taking for truth the pronouncements of men like Mikhail Suslov, once branded as liars. Unable to bring themselves to a specific espousal of the Khrushchev cause, the media have achieved their goal by simply presenting the Khrushchev version of what the dispute is all about: war vs. coexistence, racism vs. socialism, Stalinist rigidity vs. an attempt at democracy...
...ironic that this country, having spent 15 years warning revolutionaries that alliance with Russia could lead to subordination to Russian intent, has all but cut itself off from communication with the one nation that has come, by historical experience, to agree. Now the U.S. press uncritically reproduces Mikhail Suslov's rejoinder: "The Chinese leaders do all they can to smear the economic assistance which the USSR and other Socialist countries render to the less-developed countries, and try to induce them to question the purpose of the assistance." No effort is being made to show the extent of Soviet intellectual...
...from the government structure oppose top Communist Party officials, or would the division be between the politicians and the now powerful "technocrats" who are more interested in production than in party patronage? Probably the most serious cleavage in the leadership would be between the old revolutionary Communists, like Mikhail Suslov, and younger men like Dmitry Polyansky.

...doubt, sneered Suslov, Mao's tantrum had not been triggered by ideological differences at all but simply by resentment at the Soviet refusal to help China build an Abomb. Suslov even gave Mao bad Marx for putting violent worldwide revolution ahead of feeding and clothing his own people. "Neither Marx nor Lenin," he declared with biting sarcasm, "anywhere even remotely hinted that the rock-bottom task of so cialist construction may be realized by the methods of leaps and cavalry charges [or by] ignoring the tasks of improving the living standards of the people...
Wind from the East. Suslov, a cadaverous, humorless court theoretician who served Stalin long before Khrushchev came to the fore, drove home his attack by disclosing that Old Stalinists Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov and Lazar Kaganovich, Sinophiles all, had been ousted secretly from the Communist Party in 1961. Suslov declared that the "antiparty" trio subscribed to the selfsame heresies as Mao. He singled out Molotov-who had variously been Soviet Premier (in 1930) and first editor of Pravda (1912)-for particular vituperation. Harking back to the murderous Soviet purges of the 1930s, Suslov accused Molotov of attempting to surpass Stalin...
