1890. Vyacheslav Molotov was born

125 years ago, March 9, 1890, Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov (Skryabin) was born, in 1930-1941 he was the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and occupied the second place in the Soviet hierarchy.

Molotov was a champion among the members of the Politburo by the number of envied shot lists, sending 43,908 innocent people with one stroke of the pen, almost 3 thousand more than Stalin. But Molotov never played the independent political role.

The son of President Franklin Roosevelt, Elliot, conveyed his impressions of the Soviet leaders during the Tehran Conference: “Listening to Stalin’s calm speech, observing his quick dazzling smile, I felt a determination that is in his very name: Steel. Next to him, his Foreign Minister Molotov was gray and colorless, like a pale typewritten copy of my uncle Theodore Roosevelt, as I remembered him. "
