Chapter One Hundred and Fiev
"He started speaking about Buckley's imperialism, about ending the mujahidin in Afghanistan. He essentially vowed to 'crush the counter-revolutionary forces by any means available and necessary.' it was almost like an attack on Leonid, but the Politburo loved it."
-Andrei Gromyko (1982)
"Today, Secretary General Demichev has announced a 'reorganization' within the Soviet ranks: Dmitry Ustinov was dismissed as Defense Minister, and was replaced by his fellow Marshal of the Soviet Union, Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Ogarkov. Finance Minister Vasily Garbuzov was replaced by Vasily Starodubtsev. Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was replaced by Valentin Pavlov."
