From Wikipedia:
" Anatoly Fyodorovich Dobrynin (Russian: Анато́лий Фёдорович Добры́нин, 16 November 1919 – 6 April 2010) was a Soviet statesman, diplomat, and politician. He was the Soviet ambassador to the United States for more than two decades, from 1962 to 1986.
He attracted notoriety among the American public during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis at the beginning of his ambassadorship, when he denied the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. However, he did not know until days later that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had already sent the missiles and that the Americans already had photographs of them. Between 1968 and 1974, he was known as the Soviet end of the Kissinger–Dobrynin direct communication and negotiation link between the Nixon administration and the Soviet Politburo. "
Dobrynin served as the Soviet Ambassador throughout the height of the Cold War during the terms of six American Presidents, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan. He served under Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko, and Mikhail Gorbachev. He was an instrumental figure in the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States during all of that time but never more so than during the Nixon years. He was a direct line to the Kremlin and that line helped get us out of Vietnam.
In this episode we look back at the relationship between Anatoly Dobrynin and Henry Kissinger during the Presidency of Richard Nixon. We see diplomacy practiced with extraordinary expertise, and candor, as both sides work to ease the tensions of the Cold War, and find an exit for America from Vietnam. Much of what these two episodes present come from the writings of Dr. Luke Nichter, America's leading expert on the Richard Nixon Administration, as he leads us through this treasure of phone calls and meetings at particularly important moments of the era.
