May 1971 CE

Sadat signs the first Soviet-Egyptian Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation on May 27, 1971.

He will later explain that he had done this to allay Soviet fears provoked by his ouster of Ali Sabri and the others and to speed up deliveries of Soviet military supplies.

Even as he is preparing to break the stalemate with Israel, however, he is already thinking of expelling the Soviet advisers.
