A political volume centered on Nikita Khrushchev's articulation of peaceful coexistence as a guiding principle for international relations during the Cold War. The work brings together speeches, statements, and policy arguments in which Khrushchev presents the Soviet position on avoiding direct military conflict between states with different social and political systems. It addresses diplomacy, nuclear danger, ideological rivalry, and the possibility of cooperation across blocs without abandoning socialist objectives. The title reflects a key phrase of mid-twentieth-century Soviet foreign policy, associated with efforts to manage tensions between the USSR, the United States, and other world powers. As a historical political text, it is useful for understanding how Soviet leaders framed foreign policy, international security, and relations with capitalist states in the postwar era.
