Quick, Call Guinness

According to historian, Jim Powell, Stalin's Commissar of External Affairs, V.M. Molotov, is probably the only individual in history to have ever shaken hands with Lenin, Stalin, Yezhov (the Dwarf and so he had to crouch), Hitler, Himmler, Goring, Churchill, and Roosevelt....I hate to say it, folks, but that IS kind of impressive.

He survived the various purges
(indeed, fomented several), lived to be 96 and had a cocktail named after him.
