The Soviet Union and dtente of the 1970s Vladislav Zubok is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Temple University, Philadelphia. He was born and educated in Russia and received his Ph. D. at the Institute for the US and Canada Studies, Academy of Science, Moscow. His recent book, published last fall by the University of North Carolina Press. Another book, (Harvard University Press) is forthcoming in the Spring of 2009.
Dtente of the 1970s was a vital stage in global history of the 20th century, when the rise of Soviet communism stopped and the collapse of the Soviet bloc began. Soviet behaviour during dtente was not a consistent policy, but rather an extension of Soviet conservative ideological regime under Leonid Brezhnev. Despite some windfall gains, the Soviet Union failed to capitalize on dtente as it expected. Soviet overextension in the Third World and growing dependence of Soviet semi-autarchic economy on global trends prepared the ground for Soviet collapse one decade later.
