Report of the Indian Embassy, Moscow, on the USSR in 1960

5 Jan 1961
Description: This report by the Indian Embassy in Moscow gives a comprehensive view on events in the USSR during the year 1960. It recounts the renewed tensions in international politics following the U-2 affair and the escalating confrontations along the periphery. Written by the Indian Ambassador K.P.S. Menon, it portrays Soviet foreign and domestic achievements in a favorable light. One section deals with changes in official Communist ideology and the increasing Sino-Soviet disagreements in this sphere. According to Menon, the USSR defends its close relationship with neutral countries like India against Chinese criticism. With respect to Indo-Soviet relations the report points to the very good state of these, exemplified by a number of mutual visits and agreements on financial assistance, economic cooperation, trade and cultural exchanges.
