...Georgi Arbatov, 59, worked closely with General Secretary Yuri Andropov from 1964 to 1967, when, as a young research scholar, Arbatov joined the Central Committee's department in charge of relations with other Communist parties. Four years later, Arbatov founded the Institute of the U.S.A. and Canada, an influential policy-related think tank that studies all aspects of U.S. life. In an exclusive interview in his Moscow office last week with TIME Moscow Bureau Chief Erik Amfitheatrof and Reporter Felix Rosenthal, Arbatov predictably blamed the U.S. for fueling the arms race. He stressed the Soviet Union's opposition...
...only sour note of the executives' visit came during one luncheon. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Kornienko, in a 90-minute diatribe, lashed out against U.S. imperialism and economic policies. It struck newcomers to U.S.Soviet trade talks as rather inappropriate, but older hands took it all in stride as standard Soviet bluster...
There were also some strangely discordant notes in Moscow. Just one day after Andropov held his cordial get-together with Bush and Shultz, Georgi Korniyenko, first Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, blasted the Reagan Administration at a lunch in honor of 234 U.S. businessmen who had come to Moscow to discuss East-West trade.

Korniyenko lambasted Washington's trade sanctions and its policy toward Eastern Europe, but reserved...
...invasion of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union's human rights record. He defended U.S. trade sanctions, saying that "it is not realistic to isolate our economic relationship from our overall political relationship." Hartman's speech, which was unusually harsh for the ambassador, drew an immediate rebuttal from Georgi Arbatov, a fellow panelist and director of the Soviet Institute of the U.S.A. and Canada Studies. Denouncing Washington's talk about human rights as "hypocritical," Arbatov angrily criticized Washington's treatment of American Indians and its role in El Salvador. Said he: "Don't think...
Supreme power in the U.S.S.R. has changed hands only four times before. Vladimir Lenin died in 1924 and made way for Joseph Stalin, who died 29 years later, to be replaced briefly by Georgi Malenkov, who was outmaneuvered by Nikita Khrushchev, who in turn was ousted by Brezhnev in 1964. The changeovers in Moscow might as well have occurred on another planet. U.S. statesmen of those years had little understanding of what had happened, much less any anticipation of what was going to happen next, and still less any sense of what the U.S. could do about...
