Volume 2. From Potsdam to Malta

The world politics of the second half of the twentieth century was determined by the global ideological, geopolitical and economic confrontation between the Soviet Union and its allies, on the one hand, and the United States and its allies, on the other. One of the main components of the Cold War was ideology. A nuclear and conventional arms race has unfolded. But the process of accumulation, the use of nuclear potential has become meaningless in essence and the confrontation between the two systems has moved into the economic sphere. The end of the Cold war was marked by the cessation of ideological confrontation and the collapse of the socialist bloc. But the underlying reasons remained. As before, the global nuclear missile war threatens humanity.

The authors of the monograph "The Confrontation of two Superpowers" analyzed the essence of the Cold War, tried to find out the sources and causes of its occurrence, investigated the historical significance and consequences. The book examines the most valuable factual material necessary for the analysis of historical lessons of great importance for the modern development of Russia and the whole world.

The materials collected in the second volume of the dilogy entitled "From Potsdam to Malta" will allow us to assess the phenomenon of the Cold War from the standpoint of today and from this point of view to consider the current problems of ensuring the military security of the Russian state.
