Important foreign political relations characterizing certain periods of time since the victory of the Great October Revolution are dealt with and an analysis is given of the methods and reszuts of Soviet foreign policy. Speaking about the present situation in Europe, the writers conclude by saying that with the signing of the very important „East” agreements in 1971, a process of détente, inprecedented in its intensity and scope has started in the history of Europe.
