...black African states, which had argued for a week for stronger stuff, were predictably unhappy. "The resolution is defective," said Nigeria's moderate Ambassador Chief S. O. Adebo. Leading the chorus of complaint was Russia's Nikolai Fedorenko. who picked up some political change in Africa by abstaining-along with Bulgaria and Mali-on the ground that the sanctions did not go far enough. France also abstained from voting, but for a different reason: in the opinion of General de Gaulle, Rhodesia is strictly a British problem and outside U.N. jurisdiction...
French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville sat deep in thought, his wavy white head bowed over the text of the speech he was about to deliver to the United Nations General Assembly. Behind him, Russian U.N. Representative Nikolai Fedorenko and his French opposite number, Roger Sey-doux, were engaged in eager conversation. As Couve read on, the two men behind him suddenly smiled and raised their hands-thumb to forefinger-in the universal gesture of happy agreement. Then Couve rose to demand that the U.S. make a "new move" to end the war in Viet...
Would what? The little scene between Seydoux and Fedorenko had nothing to do with Viet Nam (they were agreeing on the wording of a draft communique about U Thant and the Secretary-General post).

Soviet Ambassador Nikolai Fedorenko last week rejected a compromise proposal by eight small nations that would allow the Security Council's five permanent members-the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and Nationalist China-to "opt out" of paying for any peace-keeping missions they opposed rather than block the missions entirely...
...birthday party, it could have passed as a wake. Russia's Nikolai Fedorenko slouched in his chair, appearing, if possible, more morose than usual. Britain's Lord Caradon glumly stroked his chin. In the Secretary-General's chair, U Thant looked about as happy as an undertaker. Outside San Francisco's Opera House, where 1,000,000 persons had massed in the streets to cheer the birth of the United Nations 20 years ago, fewer than 2,000 were now gathered; inside were row upon row of empty seats. Adding to the gloominess...
