The Soviet View of Disarmament

This book examines the proposals on disarmament officially tabled by the USSR from 1917 onwards, and analyzes them in the light of Marxist-Leninist doctrine and of the international situation at the time. It concludes that the Soviet Union, like every every other country, formulates most of its disarmament proposals in the light of its domestic, defense and foreign policy requirements; though of course it assesses those requirements rather differently from the way in which the West is inclined to assess them.
