In a problematization of the external reactions of the USSR and the ”party and state apparatus” during the period of Mikhail S. Gorbachev, we believe that the actions to contituite the new strategic thinking that ordered the political movement in the international environment must be included, with analytical priority for Soviet power. After the disappearance of two leaders from the Stalinist era, as a formative political vision, Andropov and Cernenko, the time had come to change the referential strategic concept for the Soviet Union on the lineage of détente. Thus, Gorbachev approached the relations with the USA through the prism of an improved political communication on the themes of disarmament, without excluding the competition for power through the arms race, the issues generated by the problem of German reunification, the discussion of the status of the Eastern European countries traditionally integrated into the communist bloc, the approach economic and ideological assistance for the Third World.
