Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From an official letter sent to Leonid Brezhnev by Richard Nixon, June 1973. This letter
preceded Brezhnev’s visit to Washington DC the same month.
I have read with great interest of your visit to the Federal Republic of Germany and your
conversations with Chancellor Brandt. The visit was evidently fruitful and both you and
the Chancellor are to be congratulated.
We are now preparing for your historic visit to the USA. I am sure the outcome will
further strengthen the beneficial relations between our two countries. We have already 5
drafted an agreement on the prevention of nuclear war. I profoundly hope, as I know you
do, Mr General Secretary, that in signing it, we will be taking a significant step, not only
towards reducing the danger of a devastating nuclear war, but also towards creating
conditions in the world where wars of any kind and the use of force will no longer afflict
mankind. 10
The effect of our prospective agreement would undoubtedly be further enhanced by
additional progress towards the limitation of strategic armaments.
We look forward to repaying the splendid hospitality shown to us in the Soviet Union last
year.

From speeches on Afghanistan given to the Central Committee by Leonid Brezhnev and
his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrei Gromyko, 23 June 1980. These speeches were
minuted for the CPSU.
Brezhnev: Washington is trying to revive the spirit of the Cold War. The ruling circles of
the USA stop at nothing, including armed aggression, to try to keep the Afghans from
building a new life, in accordance with the ideals of their revolution of April 1978. When
we helped our neighbour, Afghanistan, at the request of its government, Washington
raised an unprecedented uproar. They accused the Soviet Union of wanting to reach 5
warm waters and make a grab for foreign oil. But in the Soviet assistance to Afghanistan
there was no greed whatsoever.
Gromyko: It is said the Soviet Union has changed its policy and threatens the West and
its interests. No – it is the USA and NATO that have sharply increased their military
budgets and whipped up the arms race. In the post-war years it required considerable 10
effort from the Soviet Union to persuade the USA to accept peaceful coexistence. Now
Washington is again attempting to do whatever it takes to achieve military superiority
over us.
