Summary/Abstract: The worsening relations between the USSR and Romania was the main subject of the talks between Nikita Khruschev and Marshal Tito during their last meeting, which took place in Leningrad in June 1964. It was Khruschev who initiated the meeting and his aim was to ask the Yugoslavian leader to influence the Romanians not to deviate too far from the course of the Soviet bloc and especially to keep distance from China. As far as the Yugoslavians were the main goal of the Chinese attacks as “revisionists”, Tito was not interested in the further Romanian-Chinese rapprochement, so he promised the Soviets to influence the Romanians. According to the documents, it was considered in Belgrade that Bucharest went too far in his Fronde as concerned the Soviet policy.
