Summary Of The Soviet Émigré

213 Words1 Page

The talk of good for Soviet’s during the Cold war did not always had to do with the people who spied for Russia and got information for the greater good of Russia, it also had to do with ex-Soviets who wanted to bring Russia down. Mikkonen’s article focused on the people who were formerly part of the Soviet Union but were displaced during the Russia Civil war and the Cold war. The Soviet émigré was formed to go against the Soviet Union and was made up of all walks of life who had fled from, or in some other way left the Soviet Union (Mikkonen 2012). The US government focused on these people because they thought it would be the best offense against of warfare against the Soviet Union (Mikkonen 2012). The Soviet émigré was not a success at first

    To begin, Kennan describes that current policies towards the Soviet Union is flawed since Washington believes that they can influence the Soviets to agree to long-term peaceful coexistence. However, this could never be the solution because the Soviet government is influenced by the dynamics of a “police regime and antagonistic capitalist encirclement” that seeks to destroy the harmony and freedom of America (Doc 1). Since the Soviet mindset of security derives from the idea of deadly destruction of rival Western powers, Kennan argues that diplomacy and peace negotiations will not work. The Soviets “do not work by fixed plans and are impervious to the logic of reason” (Doc 1). Consequently, Kennan’s solution to overcoming the Soviets is “without recourse to military conflict” through spreading awareness of the benefits of Western Freedom and showing pressure and guidance.

The five year plan was a system that Stalin came up with. This meant that they would follow a plan for five years, then when that five years was up, they would follow a different plan. He believed that this would help the Soviet Union keep up at a pace that the rest of the world was moving.

    Before Reagan’s election in 1980, the United States and the Soviet Union experienced détente, or a period of relaxed tension. However, Reagan was harsh on the Soviet Union, adopting a harsh anti-communism policy. By doing so, Reagan was able to help end the Cold War and cause the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Reagan saw the Soviet Union as being “prepared to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat”, and that they were “the focus of evil in the modern world” (Kennedy, 690).

    Reagan’s statement, “To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion” (American Rhetoric 4), by using “we” and “must”, creates a connection with the people of Berlin and makes the conflict with the Soviet Union appear to be a shared struggle between America with its allies and Berlin and creates an obligation for Berliners, and most of Eastern Europe when he acknowledges them by saying “To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people”(American Rhetoric 1), which is a crucial part of starting a strong resistance to Soviet expansion. By offering the support of America through saying “I pledge to you my country’s efforts to help overcome these burdens”(American Rhetoric 4), he further fosters a strong

    A Gallup Poll, in the USA, divulged the increasing doubt of US citizens towards the USSR between 1945-48 (Doc H). During these three years, events such as the Yalta Conference, the Containment Doctrine, and Czechoslovakia being forced under the control of Russia (Doc F), increased distrust towards the USSR, run by a single man, under supposed communism. This suspicion, shown effectively in David Low’s cartoon, released in The London Evening Standard in 1948, illustrated Stalin’s dictatorial power and Eastern Europe’s lack of freedom (Doc G). Nonetheless, in 1945, 54% of people who took this survey believed Russia could be trusted to cooperate after the war. However, three years later, 69% said the USA was “too soft” towards Russia (Doc H).

    I do not believe you can have a positive view on American history during the Cold War with the Soviets. President Reagan attempted to set America apart from the Soviets by using faith and freedom as the framework of our nation. Acceptance and understanding is a far greater tool as demonstrated by President Obama. The Soviets were not an evil empire and people living in the USSR could just as well have had faith and traditions just as those in the U.S. President Reagan should not have called Soviets an evil empire and inferred that the U.S. was in a good vs. evil battle with the Soviets and played into the hearts of individuals in the nation. This was simply not true.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of The Evil Empire By Ronald Reagan

    1689 Words  | 7 Pages

    By highlighting prominent “sins” earlier in his speech, Reagan subtly transfers the association of these sins to the Soviet Union, thereby further driving his attempt to rally the American people. Having progressed on a communistic base for years, the Soviet Union’s drive is to destroy capitalism and replace it with its own ideology- communism (“Cold War”). The Soviets intend to force these ideals upon democratic nations by the production and possession of nuclear missiles, a terrifying prospect to any country. Ronald Reagan calls the Soviet Union out in this speech; the title alone, “The Evil Empire”, condemns the Soviets as ruthless destroyers of peace and freedom. His words not only influence the American people, but also reach the hearts if the Soviets.

    Whether it was increased trade or an embargo on the Soviets, attempting to steer the Soviets to make deals in favor to the U.S. was not working; linkage was ineffective and only invited the Soviet Union to be more coercive and label the U.S. as weak. Early on Reagan’s inexperience was shown when he was unable to act against Soviet subversion against Solidarity, a legitimate Polish institution which was “moving Poland toward a genuine democracy.” (Ambrose 304). Although his prestige and power in the presidency was there, he was exposed early on to the reality of the Cold War. In the eyes of revisionists, Reagan was nothing more than a president in power at the time of Soviet
