Why Is Vladimir Kemenov Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Vladimir Semyonovich Kemenov was a Soviet art historian and statesman who headed the VOKS for the USSR in the 1940s. Life and career He was born in Yekaterinoslav . In 1940, he succeeded Viktor Smirnov as chairman of VOKS , a propaganda organization created in 1925 and restructured in 1958. VOKS also often served as a convenient 'roof' for operations of both branches of Soviet intelligence, whose residents and operatives used opportunities provided by VOKS to establish and maintain contacts in intellectual, scientific and government circles. These contacts were, for the most part, unaware that they were dealing not with 'cultural representatives' and diplomats, but with intelligence officers. In 1944, Mihail Sadoveanu hosted official Soviet envoys Kemenov and Andrey Vyshinsky in Romania shortly before he became president of the ARLUS "Literary and Philosophical Section."
