Semyon Pavlovich Kozyrev worked as secretary for [Molotov] (later he was ambassador to many countries and a member of the board of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). As Kozyrev himself told me, the French ambassador called him and asked for an urgent meeting with Molotov. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich [Molotov] was not in the office, and Kozyrev himself appointed the ambassador a reception time. But I forgot to report on this to Molotov. He remembered this only when Molotov left with Stalin at the Bolshoi Theater. Calls there. He asks to call Molotov to the phone. And the guard replies: “Are you crazy? The action has begun. Comrade Stalin lifts our heads from us all. ” He is for his own: call me, a matter of national importance. Molotov came up. Kozyrev says: "Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, at least execute, but in twenty minutes the French ambassador will come here." Molotov cursed, but came to meet with the ambassador. But Kozyrev got a good thrashing. But he was an intelligent worker, so he remained in his place.
