Back in April 1982 US media revealed President Reagan’s intention to have lunch with a group of Soviet dissidents who had emigrated to the West.

Back in 1983 USA-based press published a report claiming that the American Big Brother managed to eavesdrop on what Leonid Brezhnev would say using the supposedly eavesdropping-prone phone in his limousine.

The tension in our military-political confrontation with the West, unprecedented since the mid-1980s, gives many a reason to recall the Cuban Missile Crisis.
