Maxim Litvinov was a Jew, Soviet revolutionary, and a distinguished diplomat. The third chief in the history of the Soviet Union, nicknamed the old man and the earl, made great efforts to reconcile the United States and the Soviet Union, promote collective security, and contain Hitler.
After Stalin decided to cooperate with Germany, he was replaced. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, he served as ambassador to the United States, making the Lend-Lease Act applicable to the Soviet Union. <
After the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin appointed Litvinov as the representative of the Soviet Union in Britain. But the British did not recognize him, and in 1918 he was arrested by the British because the British wanted to use him as a hostage in exchange for Robert Lockhart from the Soviet Union, who was also a diplomat, but at this time he was imprisoned in the Soviet Union. After returning to the Soviet Union, Litvinov became the lobbying ambassador of the Soviet Union.
Thanks to his efforts, Britain finally agreed to end the economic blockade of the Soviet Union.
Thanks to Litvinov's efforts, a number of European countries signed agreements with the Soviet Union. People's Commissar Chicherin's health deteriorated day by day, he repeatedly spent long hours abroad for medical treatment, so Litvinov actually became People's Commissar. In 1930, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin appointed Litvinov the post of chief of the Soviet Union.
And he has been in this position for 9 years. <
In 1933, he succeeded in convincing the United States to officially recognize the Soviet Union as legitimate. This was the moment of his success. As a token of gratitude, Stalin gave him his dacha in Filsanovka.
Franklin D. Roosevelt sent the comedian Harpo Marx to the Soviet Union as a goodwill ambassador, and Litvinov became friends with Harpo Marx, and the two even performed together.
Litvinov was removed from his post in early May 1939 and replaced by Molotov in August, because Litvinov's Jewish ancestry was not conducive to the signing of the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, and in July 1941, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union began, and Joseph Stalin reappointed Litvinov as his representative for foreign affairs. He also served as ambassador to the United States from 1941 to 1943 and signed the Lend-Lease Treaty with the United States in 1942. <
In 1943, Litvinov was again removed from office by Stalin for criticizing the American authorities. On December 31, 1951, the Soviet diplomat died in his dacha.
