Soviet forces must remain in Austria, Molotov hastily insisted, until a German peace treaty was signed. But a few months ago Russia abruptly changed its tune, suggested that Raab come to Moscow to talk things over. Shining Sun. It was snowing on the Moscow airport. Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov remarked to a Western diplomat that he had hoped for better weather to greet the Austrians. Said the diplomat: "In these cases, Mr. Minister, the weather that...
