These circles pointed out that Kuznetsov's mission in China had hardly lasted nine months.
His appointment to the Peking post a few days after the death of Stalin was interpreted at the time as showing the desire of the new Soviet leaders to help the Chinese leaders in problems created by the indus
trialisation of the country.
Kuznetsov, a former Sovici trade union Jender, was con- sidered here is a specialist in planning, whose advice could have been valuable to the Peking leaders. Besides, the British trade unien eireles ind also thought that the Kremlin Intended
