That Mikoyan would immediately accept the German proposal could hardly be expected considering the mentality of the Soviet Government, which at present is riding a high horse, and its known methods of negotiation.
It is a remarkable nuance that Mikoyan in his answer uses the same formula as the communiqu‚ published on June 16 on the first conversation of Molotov with the British and French Ambassadors and Strang.
Mikoyan replied that he had expected concrete statements as to which points of his last proposal we would and which we would not accept.

The 1.42 is one of the few Mikoyan projects which survived the multiple waves of defence budget cuts from the Kremlin, up until late spring of 1997 when it was announced that the funding for the unspecified fighter program is officially terminated.

 Carlos Franqui on Mikoyan's first visit to Cuba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
As 1960 began to pass, we realized just how important Mikoyan's visit was, how it marked the moment in which Fidel Castro changed his strategy, which was not to seek the support of the Soviet Union in order to counter the United States.
The invitation to bring the Soviet exposition from Mexico to Cuba and Mikoyan's visit were timed perfectly by Alexander Alexayev (Russia's representative in Cuba), Fidel, and Raul's henchmen in Havana, Mexico, and Moscow.
Later we saw the far-reaching results of Mikoyan's trip; the Soviet Union and the "socialist group" became the buyers of our sugar and our oil supplies.

 [1.0] The Mikoyan MiG-15
The experimental design bureau (OKB) run by Artyom I. Mikoyan and his deputy Mikhail I. Gurevich, designated "OKB-155" or just the "MiG OKB", developed the "Istrebitel (Fighter) 250" or "I-250" mixed-power fighter, which was built in small numbers.
It was bizarre by modern standards, a piston-powered fighter in which the piston engine drove a conventional propeller in the nose and a compressor in the rear fuselage, with the compressor feeding a combustion chamber to provide boost thrust.
Artyom Mikoyan wasn't there to watch, but he phoned the pilot to congratulate him on the successful flight.

The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where it outclassed all enemy fighters except the F-86 Sabre.
However, claims that the successful Soviet piston-engined fighter designers Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich (the lead designers of the "MiG" bureau) were heavily influenced by the Focke-Wulf Ta-183 have been discredited.
In the interim, on April 15 1947, the Council of Ministers issued decree #493-192, which ordered the Mikoyan OKB to build two prototypes for a new jet fighter.

In a two-hour, U.S.-style press conference within the ancient Kremlin* walls, Mikoyan reported to the Soviet press on his trip.
Mikoyan paid tribute to American women -"they were very nice to us; they cannot hide their feelings as well as a man" -and recalled with evident relish his luncheon with those archvillains of Communist mythology, the bankers of Wall Street.
From the Soviet point of view, it was a disturbing fact that Mikoyan's trip had made no visible dent in the unity of the Western allies.
