DURING A LONG POST-WAR AND POST-STALIN PERIOD IN SOVIET HISTORY, FOREIGN POLICY REMAINED A RATHER CLOSED AND RELATIVELY INDEPENDENT AREA. THE BUILD-UP OF MILITARY POWER REMIANED THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR DESPITE ALL DETENTE RHETORIC. THIS BASIC SCHEME CHANGED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1980S TO ONE OF MUCH MORE COMPLEX RELATIONS BETWEEN FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC (INCLUDING DEFENSE) POLITICS. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW POLITICAL THINKING HAD A DEEP EFFECT NOT ONLY ON THE FOREIGN-POLICY COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO ON PUBLIC OPINION, UNDERMINING THE IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF SOCIETY IN GENERAL. NOW THE ELEMENT OF INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DECISION-MAKING ON CENTRAL AND EVEN REPUBLICAN LEVELS APPEARED; IT CONTINUED TO GROW UNTIL BROKEN BY THE DEEP POLITICAL CRISIS IN THE WINTER OF 1990/1991.
