Molotov Move Is Promotion in Soviet Leadership
The British foreign office received an urgent Moscow report describing V. M. Molotov’s removal as foreign minister as a promotion rather than a demotion. Andrei Vishinsky succeeds him, with analysts noting Mos cow policy may not change but tactics could shift. Molotov remains a Politburo member and potential Stalin successor, while Mikoyan’s replacement signals Western worry though not a policy reversal.
