三年来苏联对欧洲政策的调整

THE SITUATION OF THE AFGHAN WAR AND THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE EFFORTS FOR POLITICAL SETTLEMENT

1985年戈尔巴乔夫入主克里姆林宫至今,已历时三年。《三年来,以戈尔巴乔夫为首的苏共新领导以内外政策的“新思维”为指导,经过苏共27大,确定国内加速经济社会发展的基本方针,并按此设计和推行外交政策,即仍以两极格局为出发点,充分利用世界多极化的趋向,改善同美国的关系,调整同欧亚两侧国家的关系,以创造有利的国际环境,保证加速战略实施。

The Afghan war has become a heavy burden for the Soviet Union. In order to push forward their reforms so as to expand the general national strength of the Soviet Union, the Soviet leaders intend to withdraw the Soviet troops from Afghanistan, but mean- while they are not willing to give up their vested interests. In the past year, the Afghan resistance movement has closed its ranks and strengthened its unity, raised the level of its military equipment, improved its strategy and tactics, and scored a series of victories in the war. All this has compelled the Soviet Union to seriously consider the political settlement. In the last few months, the Soviet Union made gestures on many occasions to show its flexibility, but it is still trying hard to get at the lowest possible cost an outcome as favourable to itself as possible.
