The essays in this book examine the arguments and rhetoric used by
the United States and the USSR following two catastrophes that
impacted both countries, as blame is cast and consequences are
debated. In this environment, it was perhaps inevitable that
conspiracy theories would arise, especially about the downing of
Korean Air Lines Flight 007 over the Sea of Japan. Those theories
are examined, resulting in at least one method for addressing
conspiracy arguments. In the case of Chernobyl, the disaster
ruptured the "social compact" between the Soviet government and the
people; efforts to overcome the resulting disillusionment quickly
became the focus of state efforts.
