Это продолжалось с конца Второй мировой войны до начала 90-х годов. Советский Союз играл центральную роль в формировании политической и военной картины того времени. Во время Холодной войны СССР и США вели гонку ядерных вооружений, а также конкурировали за влияние в различных странах мира. Эта конкуренция часто принимала форму прокси-войн. Например, Корейская война, Вьетнамская война и Советско-афганская война. Оглядываясь назад, можно сказать, что холодная война оказала глубокое влияние на мир, сформировав глобальную политику и международную систему так, как это ощущается и сегодня. Окончание «холодной войны» ознаменовало конец биполярного мира и наступление новой эры международных отношений. Translation: The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the Western powers, led by the United States, and the Eastern powers, led by the Soviet Union. It lasted from the end of World War II to the early 1990s. The Soviet Union played a central role in shaping the political and military landscape of the time. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States engaged in a nuclear arms race, as well as a competition for influence in various countries around the world. This competition often took the form of proxy wars. For example, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War. In retrospect, the Cold War had a profound impact on the world, shaping global politics and shaping the international system in ways that are still felt today. The end of the Cold War marked the end of the bipolar world and the emergence of a new era of international relations. *** Slow Russian Podcast Transcript and audio download for $20 – Join my free email course with A LOT of useful materials for self-learning – My premium step-by-step course for Russian language learners – Get all three levels together and save $102 – UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)–
