Soviet record on keeping agreements under postwar leaders
Drew Pearson reflects from the Aegean on wars past and current arms fears. He cites treaties with Russia since 1955, noting compliance on troop withdrawals from Austria and Antarctic research cooperation. He cites Berlin access points and Cuban crisis observations as evidence that post Stalin leaders largely kept promises while criticizing earlier failures.

Mikoyan stayed in Havana debating Castro as the death of his wife occurred. The State Department trusted Russia’s good faith while U S U-2 flights showed no missiles in Cuba. Russia kept its pledges in other treaties and tough bargaining but honorable.
