Speaker. increasingly. voices are being raised across our land arguing that the interests of the Soviet Union and those of the United States are converging. that our goals are the same and only the means of achieving them differ. and that the Soviet Union is only interested in helping solve the worlds problems. In a penetrating essay on the future of Soviet leadership. Soviet emigrants Vladimir Solovyov and Elena Klepikova cast a dark shadow over such unrealistic assumptions. The authors point out how the power of the present Soviet gerontocracy has dramatically declined visavis the ideological apparatus. the KGB. and the topranking officers of the atmed forces. And. most ominously. waiting in the wings to replace the present pragmatic leadership of Brezhnev is someone in the mold of one of the most feared dictators and tryants of this centuryJosef Stalin.
