- W2486490598 abstract "The rapid and peaceful dissolution of the structures of the Cold War, soon followedby the collapse of the Soviet Union itself, left scholars and other observers withintriguing questions. Indeed, the term ‘enigma’ was quickly adopted by journalistsin order to describe this surprising succession of events. It has since also passedinto the scholarly literature. ‘Enigma’ is quite possibly the most suitable renderingfor the unique, even strangely peaceful way the bipolar global confrontation ended,strangely peaceful in the context of the dismal, bloody events characteristic of therest of the twentieth century. In straining to effectively explain the Cold War’sdenouement, this author once borrowed an image from the military lexicon: it wasas if the Soviet high command became engaged, by their own choice, in a seriousoffensive; at a certain point, that offensive developed into a defensive action;finally, the military forces surrendered without offering any serious opposition.For the fact is, the leader of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, preferred to preside overthe dissolution of the empire and the state rather than mobilize force in an attemptto preserve it. The key power elites then failed to oppose his choice.1" @default.
