1989-1992

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/607765

This series consists of issues of the journal "Problems of Communism", a bimonthly publication of the United States Information Agency (USIA) that analyzed communist affairs, totalitarian or communist governments, political movements, and the Cold War. The series begins with the July/August 1989 issue and ends with a special spring 1992 edition. Of particular note are the combined January through April 1992 bimonthly issues and the special spring 1992 issue. The January through April 1992 issue, "Toward a Postcommunist World: 40th Anniversary Conference Proceedings", is devoted to a report on a conference sponsored by the "Problems of Communism" staff. The conference was held in Washington, DC on October 22 and 23, 1991. The focus of the conference, and thus the proceedings, was the state of affairs in the communist world at the end of 1991; the problems, failures and successes of political transition from totalitarian and authoritarian political systems; and the possible political forces affecting governments in a post-communist setting. The special 1992 edition, "Back from the Brink", is a joint publication of the United States and the Russian Federation. Published in Russian and English languages, the issue contains a reprinting of the complete confidential correspondence exchanged between President John F. Kennedy and Chairman Nikita S. Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Also included in the special edition are commentaries by U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrey Kozyrev, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Fedor Burlatskiy, William Taubman, Vladislav M. Zubok, and Philip Brenner. Each issue is liberally illustrated with photographs obtained from commercial photography agencies and foreign government sources. The Photo Library annotated the pictures with the agency-assigned photograph item number and the terms of use arrangements obtained by USIA for any rights-protected photographs.
