the claim was the cold war was jewish theatre when it was extremely important and still is. > but after his first stroke in 1975 brezhnev was a mere figurehead frankly, i don't know of anything andropov did that was anywhere near as damaging as later happend under gorbachev and the link between andropov and the destruction of the ussr is tenuous at best considering andropov or his immediate succesor chernenko could have just done what gorbachev himself did. frankly, i consider the entire ussr leadership of the 1980s to have been unbeliveably naive, but it must have been true considering the total non-reaction to the death of the ussr from the military and officials with no relation to andropov.
