MID USSR No. 26044 Tenth Department Received 18:35 21.XI.1951 Sent 20:50 21.XI.1951 CIPHERED TELEGRAM To NORTH KOREA To RAZUVAEV TOP PRIORITY SPECIAL On 20 November the following directive from Comrade Filippov [Stalin] was sent to Roshchin: “Explain to Mao Zedong and also to Kim Il Sung through Razuvaev, that there is indeed a difference between Vyshinsky's demand about the immediate withdrawal of USA troops across the 38th parallel and the present position of the Chinese-Korean comrades about the delineation of the demarcation line at the present front line. Vyshinsky could not speak otherwise in order to demonstrate the injustice of the USA position of refusing to withdraw their troops beyond the 38th parallel. Vyshinsky's position is advantageous to the Chinese-Korean comrades, since it demonstrates from one side the greediness of the Americans and from the other side the tractability and peaceableness of the Chinese- Korean comrades, who are making serious concessions for the sake of achieving peace.” In view of the fact that Comrade Roshchin does not have communications with you and therefore cannot fulfill through you the order about transmitting to Kim Il Sung the elucidation given in the directive of Comrade Filippov, MID [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] is sending the directive to you. Confirm receipt. Immediately telegraph the fulfillment. 21.XI.51 GROMYKO 21.XI.51 Copies: Stalin, Copy
