NPOV
editThe article seems to be rather POV to me, both in terms of wording, and factually. Most statements are not backed by citations either, making matters worse. I've marked the most notable points, but frankly, it looks like the article is best being rewritten from scratch, with only some pieces of the present article reused. I do not have time for this at the moment, but might get to it eventually if noone else will pick up the ball in the meantime. int19h 12:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Seems to be porfessionally written, at least thats what I think.
I agree
editSomeone should add a considerable amount to this article, the relationship between theese two countries did after all shape the 20th century.
2 countries?
edit? The United Nations isn't a country...or is it? Ä===UN is not. Soviet Union was a member of United Nation=== ݜ Ydon205 (talk) 19:51, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Rewrite
editThis, as it is, is simply not a Wikipedia article - one good source I found so far for the rewrite is this: [1]. I probably won't have the time to work on this for quite a while. --... there's more than what can be linked. 18:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Seats for the Soviet Union and USA
editThe article says, "The United States was also offered two additional seats, but due to political problems (regarding which two of the 48 states would be represented), it was never acted upon." Without citing to a page number, this is sourced to Ulam's "Stalin: The Man and His Era." At pages 606-607, the book says that after Stalin gained his extra seats, he offered, "...if the senators still raised difficulties for his American friend, he would be happy for the United States to have three seats, too." Nothing in that part of the book indicates the US actually was offered additional seats, let alone that the deal fell apart because the US could not assign its extra seats. I'll remove the sentence if no one objects. Arnold Rothstein1921 (talk) 01:12, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
UN employees
editFollowing statement is false: It was rather notorious that a large percentage of employees in the U.N. bureaucracy who had Soviet citizenship were NKVD/KGB or GRU agents, who in some cases hardly even bothered to conceal it... AnonMoos (talk) 12:10, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
