The primary purpose of this edition of 'Soviet News and Propaganda Analysis' is to provide the reader with an overview of Russian rhetoric, propaganda themes, slogans and topics, directed to the military forces of the U.S.S.R.

In this regard, the Kremlin underscored the following propaganda themes and headlines: To increase world tension, Reagan is conducting a secret global war against the U.S.S.R. The South Korean airline incident (the destruction of KAL 007) was one of many operations in this global secret war against the Soviet Union. Reagan is developing a new (third generation) of super nuclear weapons. In addition, American scientists are working on exotic weapons such as X-Ray lasers. The threat comes from Washington - Reagan's joke about the U.S.S.R. has alarmed the world. The CIA was intensified its psychological warfare against communist countries.
