Abstract

At the height of the Korean War (1950–3), Soviet trade with OEEC nations decreased sharply. The Soviet response was to sponsor the World Economic Conference held in Moscow on 3–10 April 1952. This was Stalin’s attempt to break CoCom by setting capitalist against capitalist to undermine American hegemony in Western trade with the Soviet bloc (Chapter 3, pp. 78–9; New York Times, 9 April 1952 and 19 June 1952). It followed the Zhdanovite principle that one should lure away the secondary antagonist (Britain) from the primary adversary (the USA), a principle that continued to dominate Soviet foreign policy formulation.
