Abstract
The Soviet Union has broken away from their traditional autarkic views and entered the arena of world trade. Initially focusing on and enjoying the political and economic benefits of trade with the West, the Soviets are now gradually enlarging their trade activity and shifting their attention to Third World markets for political and economic gain. It is in the intent of the Soviet leadership to form a more operable and lasting extension of power through a stable triangle of influence, with Marxist/Leninist ideology and political structure on one side, military support and arms supply on the other side, on an ever-expanding, stabilizing economic base. This study
examines the economic motivations and viability of these Soviet intentions.
