Molotov Bevin clash over Balkan frontiers and repatriation
Tense exchanges between British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Soviet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov surfaced as the Big Five discussed postwar boundaries repatriation and food. Moscow resisted Western plans to feed Austria from the Balkan granary and opposed adding arms reduction clauses to treaties with Hungary Romania Bulgaria and Finland. Molotov accused Bevin of backing undemocratic regimes in Greece, while Bevin fired back about being unfairly blamed. A secret-session informant noted the friction. The Russians sought assurances that Poles and residents of Russian-absorbed Baltic states would be returned, while the Anglo American stance held Moscow cannot claim these peoples without their wishes.
