By the time this 1946 profile of Andrei Gromyko (1909 – 1989) appeared on the newsstands, he was already a mainstay in the State Department Rolodex.

The attached article outlines Gromyko's career highlights up to the Summer of 1946 when he was posted as the first Soviet Ambassador to the newly established United Nations.
