Greatest caution and prudence / Savelyev, Alexander

SAVELYEV, Alexander	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Active arms control negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States began in 1969. It was not an easy time in relations between the two countries. Therefore, although both parties agreed that the arms race needed to be limited, they tried to condition the talks on the fulfillment of additional requirements: for example, a withdrawal of Soviet troops from Czechoslovakia or termination of U.S. bombings in Vietnam. This bargaining could continue indefinitely. But, thank God, the then Soviet and U.S. leaders -Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon - realized that there were issues that were crucial for the very survival of their countries. So the disarmament issue sidelined even the issue of the Vietnam War. We should not forget that even in the worst of times we were able to launch the long process of dialogue, which per se helped to improve bilateral relations.

Nuclear weapons out of control / Savelyev, Alexander

SAVELYEV, Alexander	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (New Start Treaty) was signed by Russia and the United States in 2010 and entered into force in February 2011. Since then, issues pertaining to further steps in nuclear disarmament have disappeared from the agenda of Russian-American relations. For almost four years we have been witnessing a decline (or even absence) of Russian and U.S. efforts in the sphere of nuclear arms control, which can be seen at both the official and expert levels.
