Nikita Khruschev and the disarmament issue. Unpublished documents

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a short chronology of the Great Nuclear Powers (U.S.A., U.S.S.R. and Great Britain) actions, to stop experiments with nuclear weapons. These actions were finalized by signing in Moscow at 5th August 1963 of a Treaty concerning forbidding the experiences with nuclear weapons in the three environments: atmosphere, cosmic space and under the water. In this context, we present the letters sent by Nikita Khruschev, the president of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers, to leaders of western organisations which fought for forbidding experiences with nuclear weapons: Canon L. John Collins, the president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Hans Werner Richter, the president of the European Federation against Nuclear Arms. These letters sent at the end of 1950` and the beginning of 1960` were identified in Lambeth Palace Library. Nikita Khruschev agreed with the actions taken by the two organisation leaders and he presented in a personal manner the ideological confrontations of that time, the actions taken by the U.S.S.R. in order to help setting an agreement for forbidding the nuclear experiments and the total and general disarmament.
