Georgy Arkadyevich Arbatov does not need any special introduction. Famous journalist, writer, director of the Institute of the USA and Canada, member of the CPSU Central Committee, personal adviser to Yu.V. Andropov, for many years he was at the forefront of the defense of the USSR during the Cold War. G.A. Arbatov knew many of its “generals” well, both Soviet and Western: N.S. Khrushcheva, L.I. Brezhnev, Yu.V. Andropova, K.U. Chernenko, M.S. Gorbachev, R. Nixon, R. Reagan, D. Bush, G. Kohl and others. In his book, he writes about them, about the policies of the USSR and the USA in that era, and also evaluates the current state of international relations that developed after the end of the Cold War war."
