| Note | "The year 1938 put collective security to a severe test: Anschluss in March, Munich in September. As Munich loomed, the most likely route of Soviet support for Czechoslovakia lay across Romania. Alas, the Soviet purges intervened, reaching into the Soviet legation in Bucharest. The chief of mission was recalled in January on suspicion of Trotskyism. His replacement, Fedor Butenko, had no sooner assumed the office than he, too, was visited by NKVD agents, who invited him to go for a drive in the woods. He panicked, procured a false passport, and found protection in the office of the Italian Foreign Minister Ciano in Rome, while the Romanians were accused of having a hand in the affair by the Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov." |
