Abstract

This paper highlights how for almost half a century the inevitability of wars gave a particular stamp to Soviet assessments of international politics. But, after the XX Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the warlike confrontations stopped being something inescapable. In the opinion of Soviet ideologues, the power achieved by the socialist system served as a brake on "innate aggressive tendencies" to capitalism. The two antagonistic social systems would have to coexist peacefully, opening a process of economic competition between them. The role of war as the engine of history came to be played by "the undeniable advantages" that socialism would show over capitalism.
