Russian statesman and prime minister (1930--41). After World War II, he emerged as the uncompromising champion of world Sovietism; his nyet ('no') at meetings of the UN became a byword, and fostered the Cold War. He resigned in 1956, and was demoted by Krushchev. In the 1960s he retired to his home near Moscow. His name is preserved in the Molotov cocktail - a bottle of inflammable liquid used as a weapon - which he put into production during World War II. DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, 1933. Document, in Russian, pertaining to the closing of concessions of the Druzag company. Molotov has written across the top, in blue pencil, 'To C[omrade] Tryfonov. Nothing can be understood out of this. Commission must urgently carry out it's own propositions for approval of the central Committee and council of People's Commissars,' and signed it 'Molotov.' In fine condition, with a couple other notations other than Molotovs, torn punch holes to left edge and light overall toning. RRAuction COA.
