Northern (N): Soviet Union (NS). Political Relations between Soviet Union and UK

1957

A file containing documents relating to Anglo-Soviet relations. Subjects discussed in the file include the Soviet reaction to Harold Macmillan replacing Anthony Eden as British prime minister; Soviet attempts to drive "wedges" between Britain and America following the Suez crisis; and whether the initiative for improving Anglo-Soviet relations lay with London or Moscow. Documents in the file include a briefing on relations with the Soviet Union prepared in advance of an Anglo-American summit; a telegram from Sir Patrick Reilly, the new British ambassador in Moscow, noting that Soviet disappointment was inevitable if their diplomatic forays were not reciprocated, and suggesting that some attempt to improve relations be made in areas such as cultural exchanges; and despatches from Reilly reporting his initial meetings with Soviet personalities and discussions with them about Hungary and the Middle East. The file also contains a record of conversations at the Bermuda Summit about East-West relations.
