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.
