...their leaders. Faced with troop withdrawals in Eastern Europe, budget cuts at home and increasing criticism in the press, the 4 million-man armed forces have been plunging rapidly in both public esteem and institutional authority. Meeting with TIME's editors in New York City last week, Vitali Korotich, editor of the weekly magazine Ogonyok and a member of parliament, observed, "After the party bureaucrats, the military is the most unhappy part of our society...

...losing Eastern Europe and digging in hard to keep from losing one of its own republics. The U.S. is not only winning, many senior Soviet commanders feel, but gloating about the Soviet decline.
