The Soviet View of Local Wars and Wars of National Liberation: Strategy and Concepts of Employment.

Abstract

The Soviet view of local wars and wars of national liberation is examined. The author describes the Soviet theoretical premises for causes of these wars and their role in the foreign policy of the Soviet Union. Using Soviet sources, the author describes the historical course of local wars and wars of national liberation and the strategy and concepts of employment that the Soviet Union intends to use to insure victory in a timely manner. He concludes that the local war, or the national liberation war, from the Soviet point of view, is and will continue to be a viable foreign policy option for the Soviet Union.
