Abstract:

The Soviet Union is currently meddling in the 1984 U.S. presidential election. The Kremlin rulers have seized every opportunity to worsen U.S.-Soviet relations and increase international tension. Moscow hopes that the American voters will associate Ronald Reagan with this "new cold war." As the November election approaches Americans should not be surprised by additional Soviet actions against Reagan.
