Sokolsky Berlin a since Nikita Khrushchev h a s taken Over the management of the soviet Universal state he has faced the West with a series of crises one following upon the other with breathless haste. He has demonstrated his skill not Only by the Speed with which he manages each crisis in different parts of the world but also by his ability to bring about divorce attitudes among Russia s opponents thus engendering confusion m their ranks actually soviet Russia stays out of Many of these situations using her satellites. This thus far is not appearing in the Berlin crisis. On this subject Khrushchev finds the West United. In fact he is faced by the dramatic Success of do Gaulle in France and the even More dramatic co operation of France and West Germany. Whereas Stalin to a degree found a Means of stimulating a Sharp division Between that United states and great Britain Over the recognition of red China.

Now Khrushchev has Given the United states great Britain and France a six months ultimatum to get out of Berlin.
