Letter from India's Moscow Embassy to the Ministry of External Affairs (August 1960)

31 Aug 1960
Description: This letter, originating in the Indian Embassy in Moscow, reports on recent developments in Soviet domestic politics. It speculates on the reasons for the transfer of Vyacheslav Molotov from his position as ambassador in Ulan Bator to that of the Soviet representative to the IAEA in Vienna. The rapporteur surmises that this move does not amount to a degradation for Molotov despite his previous role in the attempt to unseat Khrushchev. He explains the change instead as a result of Sino-Soviet ideological differences and their competition for influence in Mongolia.
