Malenkov speaking in Russian. He finishes speaking and the interpreter starts to speak: "There may be some persons who do not like the growing contacts between our two countries and peoples. However, we realise that it is a small flock that has no black sheep and we trust that the voice of the black sheep does not reflect the true feelings of the people." SV. Member of the press asking question about the relationship between Malenkov and Nikita Kruschev is he related by marriage to Mr Kruschev. SV. Malenkov speaking in Russian. He finishes speaking, and the interpreter starts to speak immediately: "Well I can satisfy his curiosity by saying I am no relation by marriage to my great friend Mr Kruschev." SV.

Well naturally we would like to win this competition and I believe this will happen within a hundred years from now."

      He wasn't that weak. He and Lazar Kaganovich were the last of Stalin's inner circle to die, 1988 and 1991 respectively. Kaganovich lived to see the birth of the Soviet Union as well as see it go well into its death throes. The union itself died six months after he did. Malenkov also was around at the beginning and lived through most of Soviet history to the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union. Two of the last of the O.G. Bolsheviks gone just like that back then.

      One reason why he did not survive was because he tried to stamp out corruption/extra cash payments. This angered the bureaucracy and gave Nikita K. more grounds to take power. He was not weak, he was effectively Stalin’s right hand man until the end of Stalin’s life. Beria and Molotov were next to be shot had Stalin lived longer.

      If you look a little closer, every Soviet or now Russian leader or military officer has a big belly. Only maybe Putin jumps out of that matrix, but everyone else doesn't miss a single meal and every meal is plentiful.

      Funny because after dragging their agricultural production out of the medieval era and slaughtering the nazis the Soviet people ate better than the Yankees did and if we're gonna be honest still do compared to modern America, land of with the freedom to starve to death and home of the bootlickers that worship their butchers

      @Martin Parvanov 🇧🇬 He was a smart fella but he just didn't have the strength within the Politburo to keep himself on top. If he had somehow stayed, I envision he would've transformed the union into something more akin to modern china as he was far more pragmatic with his economics and realised how fabulously wealthy and powerful the country could be if only it took steps towards integrating itself economiaclly with the rest of the world.
