Soviet expansionism is a topic curiously neglected by our scholarly journals of recent issue. It is a matter of quite evident importance vide the gathering gloom in the Middle East and therefore one which meets the test of relevance so dear to some among us. It is a matter quite easily quantifiable and therefore one which meets the test of amenability to rigorous treatment so fashionable so (forgive me) de rigueur-among others. It is a matter on which consensus among the experts has yet to be achieved. Yet, if my researches have been adequate, it has received little attention in the past few years and no systematic analysis. This article is a modest attempt to fill the void. It first summarizes and criticizes extant views. It then takes the conceptual distinctions and procedures shown to be needed and applies them to the Soviet record. Finally, it makes instructive comparisons, draws what seem to be the appropriate conclusions, and points to work still to be done
