Reasons for Trip. On his one previous visit to the U.S., in 1936, Trader Mikoyan studied U.S. consumer industries, took back with him instructions for manufacturing such U.S. novelties as breakfast cereals and ice cream. This time he is interested in more momentous matters. Officially, he will be visiting the U.S. as the guest of Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A.

During the next 18 years, until his death in 1891, he left only traces of wanderings that took him to Stuttgart as a teacher, to Java with the Dutch army, to Abyssinia as a trader, gunrunner and, probably, slaver.
