Abstract

The major Soviet security issues of the Gorbachev era are contained in a circle circumscribed by the strength of the economy, the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a state, and the quality and stability of its government. By stability I mean the popular consensus to which the party can lay claim, either by the efforts of the present, or by the oppression of the past.
