Notes

1. I wish I could properly acknowledge Nikolai K. for these valuable comments but I don’t know his location and cannot ask permission to quote him. This interview was in Toronto, September 1992.

2. Nikolai K. discussion.

3. Although Karaganov does not refer specifically to any book, a likely one of that period would be Transnational Relations and World Politics, edited by Robert O. Keohane and Joseph S. Nye, Jr. (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1972).

4. Sergei Karaganov, in discussion with the author, May 1992, Institute of Europe, Moscow.

5. Egon Bahr, in telephone discussion with the author, April 1994.

6. Andrei Melville, in discussion with the author, spring 1991, Moscow.

7. Peter Gladkov, in discussion with the author, October 1991, Moscow.

8. Dietrich Fischer, “The Black Hole,” Peace Magazine 8, no. 6 (November—December 1992): 18.

9. Sergei Blagovolin, in discussion with the author, 1993, Moscow.

10. Vitaly Zhurkin, Sergei Karaganov and Andrei Kortunov, Reasonable Sufficiency and New Political Thinking (Moscow: Nauka, 1989). See also Georgi Arbatov, “How Much Defense is Enough?” International Affairs no. 4 (Autumn 1989), and P. Baev, Sergei Karaganov, et al., Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Europe (Moscow: APN, 1990).

11. Vitaly Zhurkin, Sergei Karaganov, Andrei Kortunov, “Old and New Challenges to Security,” Kommunist no. 1 (January 1988): 42–50.

12. Kommunist was later published under the title, Svobodnaia mysl’ (Moscow: 1991).

13. Informants from the USA/Canada Institute believe that this must be the KGB general with whom, as described earlier, Van Eeghen prayed, and who helped engineer the release of the Ukrainian Baptist pastor. As he was dead, I could not interview him.

14. Interview with Andrei Kortunov, Moscow, March 1994.

15. Dietrich Fischer, Preventing War in the Nuclear Age (Totowa, NJ: Rowman and Allanheld, 1984).

17. Mikhail Gorbachev, Perestroika trans. Georges Peronansky and Tatjana Varsavsky (London: Collins, 1987). However, the New York Times had quoted almost the same argument, so Gorbachev may have read it there instead.

18. Johansen and Spencer, 16–20.

19. Jørgen Dragsdahl interview, Moscow, August 1991. Also see Jørgen Dragsdahl, “How Peace Research Has Reshaped the European Arms Dialogue,” in Peace Research in Europe, Annual Review of Peace Activism, 1989, ed. John Tirman (Washington, DC: Winston Foundation for World Peace, 1989), 39–45.

21. Boserup died before the book was complete and Neild published it himself.

22. One such influence came from Bulgaria. Dietrich Fischer reports that Professor Nansen Behar, Secretary of the Union of Scientific Workers, organized a conference on “European Security and Non-Offensive Defense” in Varna, Bulgaria, in October 1987. This was the first event of its kind in Eastern Europe. There were twenty participants from the East and twenty from the West, including retired British Brigadier General Michael Harbottle. Behar later spent a year in New York at the Institute for East-West Security Studies.

23. Zhurkin, Karaganov, and Kortunov.

24. The text of their letter was published in the journal of the Federation of American Scientists, FAS Public Interest Report 41, no.
