On the other hand, Kosygin's capacity for survival may well have derived from the fact that he never aspired to the very summit of power.
His commitment to duty was vividly illustrated when his wife was fatally ill; Kosygin went ahead with his day's chores, even continuing to stand on Lenin's Tomb to review a Red Square parade after the message of her death reached him.
Kosygin was not to be consoled by such transparent attempts to shift responsibility.

Smaniosi di evitare i fallimenti di Khrushchev, Brezhnev e Kosygin, che rappresentavano una nuova generazione di tecnocrati professionisti post-rivoluzionari, condussero gli affari di stato e del Partito in maniera cauta e discreta.
Notevolmente, le riforme orientate al mercato del 1965, basate sulle idee dell'economista sovietico Evsei Liberman, e appoggiate dal Primo Ministro sovietico Aleksei Kosygin, furono un tentativo di rinnovare il sistema economico e affrontare i problemi sempre più evidenti a livello delle imprese.
Kosygin, intanto, mancò della forza e del supporto per contrastare la loro influenza.

During the Cold War, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson met with Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin from June 23 to June 25, 1967 in Glassboro for a three-day summit conference.
Kosygin, having agreed to address the United Nations in New York City, wanted to meet in New York City.
Johnson, wary of encountering protests against the Vietnam War, preferred to meet in Washington, D.C. They agreed on Glassboro because it was equidistant between the two cities.

It is possible that the Kosygin mission, at the invitation of the North Vietnamese Government, is the culmination of an exchange of views since Khrushchev's downfall, particularly during Premier Pham Van Dong's visit to Moscow last November.
Kosygin probably will argue that the Viet Cong campaign is progressing satisfactorily and that North Vietnam should avoid actions which might provoke US reprisals.
Moscow's desire to reassure the US that the Kosygin mission to Hanoi does not signal an abrupt shift in Soviet policy was apparent in an authoritative Pravda "observer" article of 31 January on President Johnson's State of the Union message.

The Geneva Summit of 1955 among Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States, and the Camp David Summit of 1959 between Eisenhower and Khrushchev raised hopes of a more cooperative spirit between East and West.
In 1963 the United States and the Soviet Union signed some confidence-building agreements, and in 1967 President Lyndon Johnson met with Soviet Prime Minister Aleksei Kosygin in Glassboro, New Jersey.
Interspersed with such moves toward cooperation, however, were hostile acts that threatened broader conflict, such as the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 and the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968.

On January 14 President Johnson sent a letter to "the Soviet Government" (on Ambassador Dobrynin's advice it was not addressed either to Prime Minister Aleksei Kosygin or to First Secretary Leonid Brezhnev personally), proposing a summit meeting in the United States.
After the U.S. bombing of Hanoi on February 7-8, while Prime Minister Kosygin was visiting there, the question of the summit meeting was raised in a conversation between Thompson and Dobrynin on that same day (although no account of that meeting has been published).
On February 9, Dobrynin delivered an official message for the president in which, in effect, the Soviet Government withdrew its invitation and consideration of a summit meeting so long as the United States was continuing to bomb North Vietnam.
