Co-hosted by the Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project and Kennan Institute, and George Washington University's National Security Archive and Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies.
Featuring Vladislav Zubok, Professor of History at Temple University, CWIHP Senior Scholar, former Research Scholar at the Kennan Institute, and author of "A Failed Empire: The Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev". With comments by Ambassador Raymond Garthoff and Timothy Naftali.
Western interpretations of the Cold War -both realist and neoconservative- have erred by exaggerating either the Kremlin's pragmatism or its aggressiveness, argues Vladislav Zubok. Explaining the interests, aspirations, illusions, fears, and misperceptions of the Kremlin leaders and Soviet elites, Zubok offers a Soviet perspective on the greatest standoff of the twentieth century.
Ambassador Raymond Garthoff served as a Senior Advisor to the US delegations to the SALT I and ABM Treaty negotiations (1969-1973) and as US Ambassador to Bulgaria from 1977-79. His many publications include his memoir A Journey Through the Cold War, (2005) and The Havana Conference on the Cuban Missile Crisis which was included in the first edition of CWIHP's Bulletin in 1992. He is currently a Guest Scholar of Foreign Policy Studies at The Brookings Institution.
Tim Naftali is a distinguished Cold War historian, and former Director of the Presidential Recordings Program at the University of Virginia. His publications include One Hell of a Gamble: Khrushchev, Castro, and Kennedy, 1958-1964, (1998) and Blind Spot: The Secret History of American Counterintelligence, (2005). He is currently serving as the first Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
