Litvinoff Ouster Seen as Blow to Allied Cooperation

Reports describe intensified Stalinist control, with naval attaches withdrawn from Archangel and Vladivostok and restrictions on American diplomats and consulates across Russia. The development aligns with broader purges and nationalist tightening of power in the USSR.
