...tente-on their terms. But their conciliatory tone also has a propaganda motive: if relations worsen once Reagan enters office, the Kremlin wants to be in the best possible position to blame the U.S. Amplifying the signal Moscow has been sending Reagan, Brezhnev's chief spokesman, Leonid Zamyatin, last week released exclusively to TIME an official statement reviewing the relationship between the superpowers as seen from Red Square...
...result of White House policy, "anti-Soviet hysteria is virtually raging in the U.S.," said Leonid Zamyatin, chief of the International Information Department of the Central Committee. Speaking on Soviet television last week, Zamyatin declared that America's "economic and political blackmail" of the U.S.S.R. stemmed from Carter's desperate bid for reelection.

Because in the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Democrats had the overwhelming majority. This created a situation in which...
...Zamyatin: Yes, a certain background. But to this was also added the propagandistic background. I was recently in the U.S. with a Soviet parliamentary delegation, and we had the opportunity to observe all the emotional heat that was being created round the President and round this entire affair through the U.S. mass information media. A very definite brainwashing of U.S. public opinion was taking place both on radio and television, and certainly not in favor of the U.S. President, for internal political motives. Throughout this whole campaign, the chief motive was an internal political one. Here I would cite...
