Maxim Maximovitch Litvinov - Revolutionary and diplomat of the Soviet Union, a fervent supporter of the Briand-Kellog pact and then of a rapprochement with the Western democracies in the face of Nazi Germany.
Robert Coulondre - French diplomat. French ambassador to the Soviet Union from October 1936 to October 1938 and, as a result, one of the few Western witnesses to the great Stalinist trials of 1937-1938. In October 1938, he was appointed French ambassador to Germany. He remained there until September 1939, and it was he who delivered the 'declaration of war' to Joachim von Ribbentrop.
