Development of the Leninist Principles of the Peaceful Coexistence of Two Systems as Expressed in the Decisions of the XX and XXI Party Congresses.
Abstract
Following is a translation of an article by I. A. Kirilin in the Russian-language periodical Voprosy istorii KPSS (Problems of the History of the CPSU). The cornerstone of the foreign policy of the CPSU and the Soviet Government is the Leninist principle of the peaceful coexistence and economic competition of the two systems-- socialism and capitalism. It is this principle which determines the essence of the peace-loving foreign policy of the Soviet Union. The policy of peaceful coexistence signifies the radiation of war as a means for resolving issues between governments, the obligation of all states not to attack or to violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty of one another in any form or under any pretext. It presupposes also the repudiation of any interference in the internal affairs of other nations for the purpose of changing their governmental structure or way of life, or for any other motives. The principle of peaceful coexistence signifies also that the political and economic mutual relations between nations should be built on the basis of full equality of both sides and mutual benefit.
