'''Aleksei Stepanovich Belyakov''' (born 1917) was a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] diplomat and ambassador to [[Finland]] 1970–71 and the leader of the [[Europe]]an section of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]].
 
== Ambassadorship ==
In the summer of 1970, Belyakov was transferred as [[List of ambassadors of Russia to Finland|ambassador to Finland]]. His designation as ambassador was mainly because Moscow was interested in increasing the influence of the [[Finnish Communist Party]] in Finland. Belyakov mainly created relationships with the Finnish Communist Party's [[Taistoist|far left Stalinist wing]] and became its spiritual leader.
 
Belyakov's rival counselor [[Viktor Vladimirov (intelligence officer)|Viktor Vladimirov]] estimated that in Finland there would be some kind of [[revolution]] and he supported it by sympathizing with the [[Strike action|strike]]s and writing articles in [[Pravda]] about what he perceived were Finland's "class exploitation".
 
Another political idea of Belyakov was to encourage the [[Finnish Communist Party]] not to accept any [[Comprehensive Income Policy Agreement]]s. President [[Urho Kekkonen]] invited the counselor Vladimirov to his official residence and reproached him about Belyakov. Vladimirov sent a [[telegram]] to Moscow and criticized Belyakov's actions in Finland. [[Moscow Kremlin|Kremlin]] responded to the telegram by sending the Deputy Foreign Minister [[Vasili Vasilyevich Kuznetsov]] to Finland. At a secret meeting, he convinced Kekkonen that the Soviet policy towards Finland hadn't changed and Finland had a right to solve its internal policy alone. After the visit Belyakov started to create contacts outside the [[Finnish Communist Party]], especially with the centre-right [[National Coalition Party]] and [[industrialist]]s and [[banker]]s.
 
Belyakov's countdown to leaving Finland started at President Kekkonen's dinner party in Kekkonen's official [[Tamminiemi]] residence where he was [[Alcohol intoxication|very drunk]] and behaved badly. Vladimirov sent a telegram to the Kremlin on the following day, and suggested that Belyakov be sent back to Moscow. Belyakov left in February 1971 for Moscow, never to visit Finland again.
