| Description | Cartoon shows Soviet leaders Khrushchev and Bulganin outside a door labeled "London," unrolling two carpets, one labeled "'End' of Cominform" and the other "Middle East 'Peace' Gestures." In April 1956, the two leaders made a state visit to London. In an apparent effort to make this visit a success, the Soviet Union announced that it would be willing to endorse a United Nations effort to settle the Arab-Israeli conflict and that the Cominform (the international organization of Communist parties) had been dissolved. Despite these moves, the Communist leaders received a cool reception in London. |
