Moscow's press has left little doubt that the successor to Joseph Stalin has been chosen and that he is the glowering sourpuss of the politburo, Georgi Maxmilianovitch Malenkov.
Extravagant praise was heaped on him on his 50th birthday. It is comparable only to the praise accorded Stalin himself. The greeting to him from the Communist party and the Council of Ministers hails him as "co-adviser of Stalin" - the highest possible praise in the USSR. It also credits him with having "forged victory for our homeland in the great war of the fatherland against the enemies of humanity."
This is a development of extreme importance for the Western World, with broad implications for the future of international relations.
If there has been a struggle for power in the politburo - and many in the West believe such struggle has been taking place - Vyacheslav M. Molotov seemingly has lost to the brilliant full ness.
