June 1983	CND and Dissident Peace Groups in Socialist Countries This paper, authored by George Hutchinson for discussion by the CND Council, raises the question of whether the CND should be dealing only with the "official" peace groups in Warsaw Pact countries (which were controlled by the Communist government), or whether the CND should be engaging more extensively with "unofficial" peace groups run by dissidents. This debate continued within the UK peace movement throughout the 1980s.
July 23, 1982	Letter, O. Kharkhardin, Vice-President of the Soviet Peace Committee, to Joan Ruddock, Chairwoman of the CND This letter was sent as a follow-up to the CND sending a delegation to Moscow to meet with the Soviet Peace Committee, and expresses the hopes that the two organisations can collaborate more closely in the future.
December 6, 1983	Letter, Yuri Zhukov, President of the Soviet Peace Committee, to Bruce Kent In this letter, Zhukov sets out how, from the Soviet perspective, the Soviets have been working towards peace but the deployment of Cruise and Pershing missiles in Western Europe derailed arms control talks in Geneva and has made the international situation markedly worse. He invites the CND to work with the Soviet Union "to further our common struggle for a nuclear-free Europe."
April 1983	Cruise: Your Questions Answered This information leaflet was produced by the Ministry of Defence in April 1983, leading up to the June 1983 general election.

While the pamphlet engaged with arguments advanced by peace organisations, no specific groups are named.
Date unknown	These British Never Learn Do They, Adolf? This Coalition for Peace through Security poster likens the British peace movement of the early 1980s to pacifist groups in the 1930s and to the policy of appeasement. The poster depicts Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet leader until his death in November 1982, addressing Hitler, thereby associating the Soviets with the threat posed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
