On a tense Saturday in November 1960, the United Nations General Assembly witnessed a fiery confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States. Valerian A Zorin, the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, unleashed a scathing attack on the US, accusing it of meddling in the affairs of Congo. Zorin’s speech was a masterclass in diplomatic vitriol, as he denounced the US, Belgium, and NATO powers with a ferocity that left Western diplomats stunned.
