Riassunto

From the response to the 1917 Revolution, through military intervention in the Civil War, alliance in World War II and forty years of nuclear confrontation to the final collapse of the Soviet empire, British Governments struggled to find a satisfactory basis for relations with the Soviet state. A former British Ambassador to Moscow analyses the course of that unique relationship, sets it against the background of relations with Imperial Russia and examines the prospects for the years ahead.
