The Leninist peace policy

Documentary about the constant attempts made by Soviet governments to keep peace between countries, even of different social and political systems. Includes footage of international conferences, including those held at Genoa in 1922 and Helsinki in 1975, focusing on the manner in which Soviet attempts to create peace were undermined. Images of peace initiatives and the UN are juxtaposed with scenes of the World Wars, Vietnam War, Middle East conflicts, and the arms build-up during the Cold War (presented as a result of capitalist aggression and communist protection). There is also footage of diplomatic visits, including Brezhnev's visits to France, the United States, and Finland.
