The Lacy-Zarubin Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union, signed in Washington, D.C. on January 27, 1958, and negotiated by William S. B. Lacy, the United States President's special assistant on East-West exchanges, and Georgy Zarubin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States. It established a framework for reciprocal exchanges in film, dance, music, tourism, technology, science, medicine and scholarly research between the two countries. The agreement marked a significant opening of direct cultural and governmental contact between the two Cold War superpowers during the period of relaxed tension that followed the death of Stalin in 1953.
