President Reagan's foreign policy has become the object of a strident Soviet propaganda offensive. Clearly Moscow has been stung by the criticism over Afghanistan and Poland. However, there are deeper, underlying questions at issue: military parity or superiority; the framework of East-West relations; the nature of developments in the third world; and the position to be accorded by right to the Soviet Union as a superpower claiming interests - and a voice - in world affairs.
