June 16, 1953	Transcript of the Conversation between the Soviet Leadership and the Hungarian Workers' Party Delegation in Moscow Discussion of the reorganization of the Hungarian government and various reforms following Stalin's death.
October 29, 1945	Telegram, V. Molotov, L. Beria, G. Malenkov, and A. Mikoyan to Cde. Stalin Molotov, Beria, Malenkov, and Mikoyan ask Stalin to approve an announcement awarding the Order of Lenin to A.A. Andreyev on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
February 4, 1949	Cable, Anastas Mikoyan to Joseph Stalin Cable sent from Mikoyan to Stalin, summarizing a discussion between Mikoyan and Mao. In that conversation, Mikoyan tells Mao that once the USSR opposed foreign mediation between the Guomindang and CCP, England, America and France changed their positions from supporting mediation to refuting mediation. Mikoyan then draws to Stalin's attention that Zhou Enlai noticed permanent representatives of Americans, including "spies, and journalists," among the Chinese Communist Party.
February 3, 1949	Cable, Filippov [Stalin] to Anastas Mikoyan Cable from Stalin to Mikoyan, sent with the intent to be passed on to Mao Zedong. Stalin expresses pleasure with the Chinese control of China's peasantry and students, but expresses disappointment that the CCP does not control the majority of the working class. Stalin advises that China turn its big cities into bases for communism, and then gives more specific advice for gaining a majority among the working class. Stalin then responds to Mao's request for weapons, explaining that the USSR doesn't have anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons of foreign make, but can send Russian-made weapons.
April 25, 1963	Minutes of CC CPSU Presidium Meeting on Restricting Soviet Shortwave Receivers A discussion among the top leadership of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU on the problem of limiting production shortwave radio sets that receive Western broadcasts. The argument is made that, if sets capable of receiving Western radio broadcasts are not produced, Soviet citizens will find ways of adapting non-shortwave radios to receive the broadcasts. The Soviet leaders seem to be under the misconception that the production of shortwave receivers in America was stopped so that Americans couldn’t receive information from the USSR and that the Soviets should do likewise.
September 17, 1956	Telegram from A. Mikoyan to the CPSU Central Committee Mikoyan reports on an unsuccessful meeting with a number of Korean delegates, who had clearly been prepped for the conversation, making them reluctant to go beyond instructions and provide more detailed responses about the August Plenum Incident.
September 19, 1956	Record of a Meeting between the Soviet and Chinese Delegations Mao Zedong reveals that several Korean Workers' Party members have been placed under arrest, including Pak Il-u, who is looked favorably upon by the CCP. Sino-North Korean relations have become strained as a result of Kim Il Sung's handling of the August Plenun Incident. Mao admits to Mikoyan that the Korean Workers' Party leadership may not heed their advice, but they decide to send a joint delegation to Pyongyang the next morning.
September 21, 1956	Telegram from A. Mikoyan to the CPSU Central Committee A meeting with Kim Il Sung reveals the main goals of the Sino-Soviet delegation: to convince the Korean Workers' Party to move away from policies of repression and to repeal the order to expel the group of accused party officials. Kim agrees on repealing the expulsion order, but not for those who fled to China. Mikoyan asks that Sino-Soviet delegation be allowed to sit in on the presidium meeting the next day.
