The USSR’s Ill Fated Military Intervention in Afghanistan In the Fall of1994 the Bulletin of the The Cold War International History Project mentions in an article, ”Despite the declassification of numerous high-level Soviet documents the precise reasons behind the USSR’s massive, ill fated military intervention in Afghanistan in December 1979 remain murky”. Reading these documents it becomes obvious that intervention was the result of a long and sometimes bitter struggle within the politburo

For my essay I’ve chosen the topic: ‘Ukraine as a ‘bridge’ between Russia and EU’. I found it really interesting, especially in current situation, after the Presidential elections. And, of course, the topic is very important to me, as I’m Ukrainian and studying in the country, which belongs to EU. In this paper it would be considered: reasons of forming of current situation in Ukraine; relationships and perspective of development of them with Russia; relationships and perspective of development of

Khrushchev where America would not invade Cuba as long as the Soviet Union withdrew its missiles. Following this was the Brezhnev Era, Soviet Union circa 1964 through 1982, in the Soviet Union. The Brezhnev Era is the time in the Soviet Union that Leonid Brezhnev was in power of Russia and the Soviet Union from October 1964 through November 1982. During this era, the Soviet Union began with a high economic growth and prosperity but then it ended in a weaker Soviet Union with a social, political and

Sino-Soviet Split Thesis: The reasons for the Sino Soviet split can be placed upon the political, economic and social difference between the nations; especially the ideological differences. Political Long Term * Stalin feared Mao as a rival for the leadership of the communist world * Didn’t want the Cold War to spread to Asia * Stalin underestimated the CCP * Believed the GMD would be stronger, * Wanted the communists to unite * Even when the victory

Leonid Fridman once wrote a piece involving the revolution of “bringing the nerd back”. Fridman was a Harvard University student and founder of the Society of Nerds and Geeks. Leonid Fridman in his opinion piece, America Needs Its Nerds, analyzes the society in America and how they value intelligence compared to other things such as sports for example. Fridman exercises the use of real world comparisons and appeal to equality to persuade the reader that America does in fact need its nerds by developing

Hitler the fascist regime merely changed from Hitler’s “Third Reich” to Stalin’s “Red Army” in 1944-45. The same could be seen in Khruschev who shifted from non-aggressive too aggressive in Hungary October 31st 1958 (Zubok, p.117). Next, Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev invaded Prague, Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1968, which was dubbed the Brezhnev Doctrine, which states “Moscow has the right to intervene in any country where a communist government had been threatened.” (History.state.gov, 2014).

just because a couple feels secure doesn’t mean the couple is necessarily happy. While every healthy relationship shines with rays of trust and happiness, shadows often lurk filled with lies and deceit. A painting, entitled Alley by the Lake, by Leonid Afremov portrays the secure, yet secret, side to relationships. Happiness holds relationships together. Finding someone who makes feelings arise, plastering a smiling on one’s face, draws any person in. It’s the warmth one wants and the intensity

Eastern and Western Europe still remained. Also, the disparities in prosperity remained as well. One of the countries that seen major political developments was the Soviet Union. The years of change seemed rather unlikely between 1964 and 1982 as Leonid Brezhnev became the man in charge. As his slogan was “no experimentation” he became the head of the state and the communist party in 1964. Even though he was optimistic and calm, the Brezhnev Doctrine, which stated that the Soviet Union had the right

In the passage ‘’America needs it’s Nerds’’ by Leonid Friedman, the author builds the argument that in America unlike other countries those who make academics a priority are frowned upon and labled as outcast while those who don’t make academics a priority are put on a social petestol and that this action needs to stop . The question being asked is how does the author build this argument. The way the passage was written was first it gave the main idea and then it gave it’s supporting facts and details

During the early parts of the Cold War, American psychologist Charles Osgood noticed that the hegemons of the bipolar world faced many obstacles to cooperation, mainly due to the psychological perception and hostile images that the United States and the Soviet Union had of each other. Because of contrasting ideologies, beliefs, and propaganda, it was near impossible for the competing powers to trust each other. This made even innocent gestures and concessions viewed with doubt and not taken at face
