The Soviet Union and Angola.

Abstract

This memorandum considers the success of Soviet foreign policy in Angola. The author concludes that Soviet policy toward Angola must, at least temporarily, be viewed as successful. A political ally has been gained and, as a side effect of the Soviet role in Angola, contacts with states and liberation movements in the southern Africal region have been extended significantly. Soviet-Angolan relations have developed on a firm economic, military, and ideological basis. Thus, a short term dividend for the Soviets may gradually evolve into a long-term asset. (Author)
