"Miss Camilla Gray has written a big book on modern Russian art both before and after the Revolution. ... it seems to me a contribution to the endeavour to make co-existence between East and West possible. ... For my part, I have no doubt whatever that it is in the interests of the USSR, and more particularly of the world policies of which you are the protagonist, to grant Miss Gray the necessary visa and permit her to live in Russia as the wife of Mr. Prokofiev."
