Abstract
As the June (1983) Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee noted, mankind is going through a period without precedent in all postwar history in terms of the intensity and bitterness of the confrontation between the two diametrically opposed world views, the two political systems: socialism and imperialism. Comrade K. U. Chernenko stated at the June (1984) Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee: Imperialism, particularly American imperialism, which suffered a number of major setbacks in the world arena in the sixties and seventies, is launching ever more massive attacks, on an unprecedented scale, on our social system, on Marxist-Leninist ideology. It is trying to poison the minds of the Soviet people, to distort the goals of our foreign policy, and to block the growing influence of real socialism—the main bulwark of the cause of peace and peoples' freedom. An intense, truly global struggle between the two ideologies is in progress.1
