✍️ Andrey Gromyko, a great Soviet-era diplomat, was born on July 18, 1909.
His professional biography is very impressive:
• Ambassador of the Soviet Union to the United States (1943-1946)
• First Permanent Representative of the Soviet Union to the UN (1946-1948)
• Soviet Foreign Minister for 28 years (1957-1985)
• Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union (1985-1988)
💬 It is hard to overestimate Gromyko’s contribution to establishing the post WWII international order. He signed the UN Charter, and the elaboration of such key elements of the modern system of international relations as the Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is directly linked with him. In effect, these and other similar agreements laid the foundations of a system for jointly managing global affairs, countering common threats, resolving conflict situations by political means.
