从文化视角解读乔治·凯南的长电和 X 文章

The long telegram and X article construed from a cultural angle

乔治.凯南是美国著名的"苏联通",也是美国"遏制政策"的提出者。1946 年他向美国发回长电,1947 年又发表 X 论文,分析苏联的思维方式和行为根源,在美国政坛和民众中引起震动。时隔半个多世纪,我们再分析凯南的这两篇文章,仍被他惊人的洞察力和预言所折服。他对苏联的民族性格、苏联外交的行为方式有着深刻理解,他的这一认识正是建立在对俄罗斯( 苏联) 历史文化的深刻认识的基础之上。

George Kennan was a Soviet hand and the initiator of the US containment policy.In 1946 he sent a long telegram to the USA,and in 1947 he published an X article.His analysis of the Soviet mode of thinking and origin of action was so shocking to the US political arena and the millions that after an interval of half a century,we are still subdued by his astounding insight and predictions when re-analyzing his two articles.He had a deep understanding of the Russian national temperament and Soviet diplomatic behavior model while his understanding was precisely based on his deep understanding of Russian(Soviet) historical culture.
