 Comments on Maksim M. Litvinov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Litvinov tried to make foreign policy without noticing the purges, but it was not easy, quite apart from what commentators in the west thought.
Geoffrey Roberts picks up Litvinov's story in 1941 when Litvinov went to Washington as Soviet ambassador but more particularly when he returned to Moscow in 1943 to participate in Soviet post-war planning.As Professor Roberts notes, many observers have concluded that Litvinov ceased to influence Soviet policy after he was sacked in 1939.
Litvinov urged post-war cooperation in order to prevent the re-sumption of hostility between the Soviet Union and the west, and in particular the United States.

 BookRags: Maxim Maximovich Litvinov Biography
The Soviet diplomat Maxim Maximovich Litvinov (1876-1951) was perhaps the best-known Bolshevik diplomat of his time and certainly the most successful in establishing cooperative efforts with the Western powers against the Nazi menace.
Litvinov was perhaps the best-known and, by some criteria, the most successful diplomat in Soviet history.
Proclaiming the mutual interest of all antifascist powers, capitalist or Communist, in containing fascism, Litvinov became world-famous for his policy of "collective security," a policy that reached its heights with the conclusion of a mutual defense pact with France in 1935, followed by a qualified pact with Czechoslovakia.

 Litvinov 1933 Famine Denial
Below is a copy of Gareth Jones actual diary notes of his late March 1933 confidential interview in Moscow with Maxim Litvinov, after just returning from his unescorted trip to Ukraine, where Gareth observed the famine, firsthand..
It is historically significant as Gareth 'subtly' broaches the subject of famine in the villages, whilst in conversation about new freedom of Soviet playwrights to write without censorship...
And as such, from the mouth of Litvinov, is probably the highest level of a famine denial by any Soviet official, as he was arguably second only to Stalin in political power..
