The Russians assert that U .S .-Soviet relations ar e worse than at almost any time since 1917, but that 1970s-styl e detente can and should be readily rebuilt ; yet neither of thes e contradictory statements seems justified by existin g circumstances .

  • The Intervention in Afghanistan and the Fall of Detente a Chronology *
    •• The Intervention in Afghanistan and the Fall of Detente A Chronology * August 31, 1926- The USSR and Afghanistan sign a Treaty ofNeutrality and Mutual Non-Intervention. Spring 1929 - Soviet military expedition, directed by Vitaly Primakov, the Soviet Military Attache in Kabul, penetrates into Afghanistan and becomes involved in power struggle there. October 1941 - The USSR issues a memorandum calling for Afghanistan's neutrality in the war. November 1941 - Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov sends a letter to the Soviet embassy in Kabul noting that "to fight in Afghanistan with the basmachi [armed Muslim guerrillas who fled from Soviet Central Asia] and the White Guard would mean provoking a war in Central Asia, which would be to the advantage of Germany and Japan. It would undercut our prestige in the East and destabilize the territories behind the Red Army's frontlines. Therefore, neutralization of Afghanistan and cooperation with Iraq and Saudi Arabia, along with strengthening relations with Yemen are the main tasks of our • policy in this region." (Lyakhovsky, p. 15) 1955-56- Soviet military equipment, armaments and specialists begin to appear in Afghanistan. 1963 - Nur Mohammad Taraki, Babrak Karma!, and others organize the United National Front of Afghanistan. 1965 - The People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDP A) is formed. Taraki becomes its general secretary, and Babrak Karma! secretary of the Central Committee. (Lyakhovsky, p. 17) Fall of 1966 - The PDP A is split into two factions, "Khalq" of Taraki and "Parcham" of Karma!. * This chronology was compiled by Malcolm Byrne and Vladislav Zubok with assistance from the staff of The National Security Archive.

    SOVIET DELIBERATIONS DURING THE POLISH CRISIS, 1980-1981 Edited, Translated, Annotated, and Introduced by Mark Kramer Special Working Paper No. 1 Cold War International History Project Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, D.C April 1999 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES CHRISTIAN F. OSTERMANN, Series Editor This paper is the first of a special series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

  • Bottor of ${)Ilas(Dpbp in POLITICAL SCIENCE
    SOVIET POLICY TOWARDS SOUTH ASIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDO-SOVIET RELATIONS, 1965-S2 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ${)ilas(Dpbp IN POLITICAL SCIENCE BY RESHMA DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1989 ABSTRACT The Ph.D. dissertation entitled "Soviet Policy in South Asia With Special Reference to Indo-Soviet Relations, 1965-82" is an attempt to study the pattern of Soviet policy in South Asia and to analyse the various factors and trends of Indo-Soviet relations which have grown very cordial and strong in the post v/ar era. Relations between these two countries have nov/ come to occupy an important place not only in the Subcontinent l)ut also in world politics. Both geographically and in terms of socio-cultural conti­ nuities and economic infrastructure, India occupies a central place among all South Asian countries. The other countries of the region like Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lankn have individually and separately more in common with India than with each otlier. The Soviet presence in this Asian region has proved to be more effective and durable than those of its two rivals, the United States and China. The search for peace, stability, and security in South Asia is a subject of global importance in our independent world. The US arms connection with Pakistan is said to be the prime cause of many of the problems of the subcontinent, reflecting the thesis that the security threats to the subcontinen come from outside powers and from the military build up of local '2" states.

  • Nuclear Proliferation International History Project
    Nuclear Proliferation International History Project Between Aid and Restriction: Changing Soviet Policies toward China’s Nuclear Weapons Program: 1954-1960 By Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia NPIHP Working Paper #2 May 2012 THE NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Leopoldo Nuti and Evan Pikulski, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project. The Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) is a global network of individuals and institutions engaged in the study of international nuclear history through archival documents, oral history interviews and other empirical sources. Recognizing that today’s toughest nuclear challenges have deep roots in the past, NPIHP seeks to transcend the East vs. West paradigm to work towards an integrated international history of nuclear weapon proliferation. The continued proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing security issues of our time, yet the empirically-based study of international nuclear history remains in its infancy. NPIHP’s programs to address this central issue include: the annual Nuclear Boot Camp for M.A. and Ph.D. candidates to foster a new generation of experts on the international history of nuclear weapons; the NPIHP Fellowship Program for advanced Ph.D. students and post-doctoral researchers hosted by NPIHP partner institutions around the world; a coordinated, global research effort which combines archival mining and oral history interviews conducted by NPIHP partners; a massive translation and digitization project aimed at making documentary evidence on international nuclear history broadly accessible online; a series of conferences, workshops and seminars hosted by NPIHP partners around the world.

It makes no claims to be exhaustive, and serves mainly as a foundation to further work in this subject in the near future. Various historical works and documents have been utilized to create, firstly, an acceptable overview of the history of the practice of forced labor in both countries, followed by a short history of so-called ‘camp literature’, or memoirs written by survivors of forced labor, generally speaking.
