Look, folks. The real deal is this. Behind the scenes there was too much hanky-panky politics anyway. How does one explain the yet unfathomed friendship between buddies Henry Kissinger and Anatoly Dobrynin? It was not just a game of diplomacy that Kissinger as head of state sought to work at a working relationship with the Soviets through Dobrynin. Thankfully, the latter was probably the most outstanding Soviet ambassador anywhere-anytime during the Cold War; so much so that the US State department NEVER questioned or doubted the magnificent fruits of international brotherhood that was made possible, along with a third player, Armand Hammer. Both the US and the USSR must be crying crocodile tears that that relationship broke down due to "Republican frustrations" expressed through nationalistic "spikes" that pushed Gorbachev to make the decisions he did. Not only would papa Stalin be turning in his grave, but let's be awfully honest here-it's not the outcome that was welcomed by either Kissinger of Dobrynin. However, it's not too late to form a new union of former soviet states, particularly as the energy crisis gathers momentum and Russia looks like providing some very real solutions to the global energy program. Let's hope that with a Democratic win in the new year, that more rigorous ties will be forged between the US and Russia.

This is a very good comment! I fully agree with the hypothesis concerning Kissinger and Dobrynin. It seems to me that others posting here are too young to recall all the details and problems of the cold war, as there is no clear rebuttal from any of them. Kissinger was a powerful ally both for the US, and from all available sources today, the USSR never had a bad word to say about his diplomatic skills. I would have thought that in itself is a very serious reason to cast a shadow of doubt over Kissinger's raison d' etre, though most people simply prefer to overlook the issue, or else discard outright any premis that he was capable of being a double agent.

Is there anyone out there that doubts Maxim's insanity?

Maxim. You have come to a sub-elementary level when it comes to analysis and you obstinately refuse to integrate the praxiological and, when all is vomited, you look like the freak that you are.

It is interesting to learn, that Soviet Union attacked Finland in 1940 also, in addition of the Winter War of 1939.

Congratulations and thank you Mr. Ederma for an informative, well-written article. You must be pained by the sight of our manic know-it-all, Maxim, doing his "brain-dump" where the contents of that chaotic space are attached to your contrastingly rational composition.

Maxim dismisses without even a second of thought the more noteworthy and prestigious amabassador Alexandr Yalovlev who served for 17 years in Ottawa and who a few years before he died in Moscow wrote a devestating appraisal of Putin's Russia that is suffering once more the cruelties of totalitarian rule. Yes, Yakovlev, much mofre internationally recognized as a major player. Yes, a loyal Moscovite during the cold war, but miles above Dorynin intellectiaually.

Brett, for one thing, no one even remembers Yakovlev making a dint of any kind during cold war politics remotely equal to that of Dobrynin. The latter was the main player most US politicians sucked up to in a big way. Yakovlev came onto the scene in the second half of the 1980's, and as you say, never really left held great sway in politics per se. It wasn't until the Petersburg mob, including the likes of Sobchak, made a breakthrough in new thinking (which is NEP policy in new dress) that anyone bothered to take notice of Yakovlev. Sorry to put you straight, but you are considerably off the mark with your theory.

Made spelling errors above - Yakovlev.
