II was in 1854 Khrushchev's and Eka-
terina's mutual affection first emerged
from the dark corners Of Soviet secrecy.
How was it hidden so long?
Russians 60 to great pains to keep
their personal lives as anonymous as
possible" a veteran East European
Communist explained to me. People in
the party or Of other parties who came
to Moscow used to see Furtseva and
KhnShchev together frequently. There
was plenty Of gossip, but only in the
inner circles. Like party discipline, it
was understood that you didn't talk
about these things to outsiders
By accompanying Khrushchev and
Nikolai Buleanin to Peipine, Mrs. Furt-
seva attracted international attention
for the first time. Her presence startled
the Red Chinese, still gripped BY pecu-
liar puritanism Of violent revolution.
Chinese Reds DisapproVs
From the outset of the visit, Khru-
shchev, then Minister Of Defense, en-
barrassed his hosts with his crude blunt
ness. He repeatedly jabbed thick thumb
in BuIeanin's direction, guffawed and
remarked that the Soviet Premier was
along as chaperon. The Chinese Com
munists didn't think it was funny. Mrs.
FurtseVa moved out Of the old mandarin
palace set aside for K. & B. to stay with
a lady comrade.
The trip to Red China broke the ice
in public appearances for Mrs. Furtseva
and Khrushchey. They began turning
up@ogether at glittering receptions at
tended in Moscow by foreign dignitarieS.
The first time ! saw them together in
Moscow, Mrs. Furtseva stood out drably
among fashionably dressed foreign
women. She wore loosely cut black
suit and crisp white blouse. She is chunky,
Iarge-bosomed, about two inches taller
than her keg-sized partner. Her hair is
pulled simply back from her typically
Slavic face; her eyes are frosty blue.
The suit and blouse are practically
uniform for Mrs. Furtseva. They make
her look like a spinster secretary Of
about 1915. Only on rare, special occa-
sions does she dress in anything else.
She speaks to strangers briefly and in
perfunctory manner. The headstrong
ebuIIience Of Khrushchev never rubbed
of on her. Only when they chat to-
eether do her eyes sparkle and her
speech become animated.
Khrushchev started helping Mrs. Furt-
seva up the ladder back in the Dos. Dur
ing the war, in a colonel's uniform, she
was escorted to a party conference by
Khrushchev to be decorated by Stain. In
high party circles she began to be called,
condescendingIy. Khrushchev's LADY
MaIenkov." For years MalenkOv was
Stains secretary, subsequently his pOlit-
ical heir. Slowly, but tireIessIy, Mrs.
Furtseva helped Khrushchev build his
own nucleus Of supporters in the state
and party apparatus. She kept dosSiers
on the activities Of real and potential
Khrushchev opponents.
''AS q woman she could not possibly

She Was <hrushchev's Lifeline

''If FurseVa says IT," the story went,
"Khrushchev means it," On May Day.
1855. bOuncy. bald and pudgy Khru-
shchev showed just how he meant il.
Before teeming thousands massed in
Red Square, Khrushchev summoned her
from the crowd. She was waiting, de-
murely but conveniently, just below the
rostrum.
Mrs. Furtseva joined Khrushchev and
the mighty leaders Of the Soviet Union
to take the May Day salute. No woman
had ever before been so pubIicized in the
U.S.S.R. By niehtfall Of that holiday.
tongues loosened during the celebration
wageed roeuishly throughout Moscow.
Inside the Communist world today
nobody dares poke fun any more at the
Furtseva-Khrushchev tWosome. The
men who Sneered ". M. Molotov.
Lazar Kaeanovich and Georgi Malen-
kov are deposed. They weren't ex-
PEELED because Of their attitude towards
the combination. Il was q contributing
factor, however. in the struggle for
power.
Another KhruShchev prOtege, Dmitri
ShepiIov, was finished of more or less
on Mrs. Furtseva's say-so. She charged
the former Foreign Minister with treach-
cry to Khrushchev and claimed to have
proof Of his dOuble-dealine. Khrushchev
believed her. She had never, he thought,
done him wrong on his march towards
absolute power.
Favoritism alone didn't make Mrs.
Furtseva what she is today. Though the
men in the Kremlin have relaxed in
cIandestine, Iiehthearted moments with
favorite girl friends for years, Mrs. Furt-
seva might well have gone far in Com
munism on her own. She is tough. zeal
Gus and has a ruthless talent for getting
things done. Khrushchev would never
have allowed himself the fatal luxury Of
sponsoring woman incapable Of savage
in-iighting.
Moscow Party Boss
Mrs. Furtseva already had plenty Of
experience in key posts under Stain
when she began her joint rise to power
with Khrushchev. When the chips were
down in the latest Kremlin shake-up.
Mrs. Furtseva was party boss Of the
Moscow district. This IS the single larg-
est party and most important oreaniza-
ton in the Soviet Union. II was job
Khrushchev himself once held. Through
command Of the Moscow district, Mrs.
Furtseva ran the party fort built up by
her protector. On his trips abroad with
out her, she supervised meetings, pairing
and purging where necessary.
Whenever possible, on business or
pleasure, Comrade Ekaterina and Com
rade Nikita seem to prefer to be together
although they both have families. Khru-
shcheV is grandfather and IS years her
senior. II doesn't appear to make any
difference in their relationship. Her hus-
band, Nikolai Firyubin, suave and. for
a Russian, well-tailored, has been away
for nearly two years as ambassador to
YugosIaVia. OF far less importance in
