It argues Kerala’s 1957 vote shows limited red strength, that Nehru’s government did not take Moscow orders, and that U S recognition of the USSR followed a phased path shaped by compensation and debts. It contrasts 1930s to 1933 diplomacy and suggests Red China recognition could echo timelines to 1965.
