Bulgarian State Security Chairman Angel Solakov’s Report at a Bulgarian Communist Party Plenum

While during the 1950s military face-off was often considered an option, in the late 1960s such possibility has been largely ruled out. Consequently the US and their allies in Western Europe are focusing their efforts on fighting socialism around the world through peaceful means, such as strengthening economic and cultural ties with the Soviet bloc countries.
