The USSR's different spheres of influence each present their own
special problems. This is particularly true of areas outside
Eastern Europe and areas non-contiguous with the borders of the
USSR. Sicker defines and clarifies the two major Soviet perceptions
of policy that radically differ from most western perspectives:
patience with long-term policy, and the belief that class struggle
law is of primary importance, superseding even international law.
The first part of the book considers the pattern and process of
expansion that has created the USSR's current configuration in
Eurasia. The chapters demonstrate that in many respects, Soviet
policies are similar in objective to their Czarist forerunners.
Part II addresses current problems in Soviet geostrategic politics
and includes discussions on their evolution and the necessity of
their solution in order to preserve the viability of the USSR's
spheres of influence.
