that the ninth 5 Year Plan did not include any significant increase 
in naval allocations, but nor was it cut back. Gorshkov needed a 
substantial amount just to stay where he was, and he may have had 
to fight quite hard not to have existing building rates reduced. 
The fact that Gorshkov was able to continue arguing the navy’s 
case, gives some indication of the depth and widespread nature of 
the cleavage of opinion which existed within the Soviet hierarchy. 
Some kind of compromise appears to have been reached in the spring 
of 1973. Brezhnev’s policy of détente remained in place, but otherwise 
we have few indications of what was agreed or what the implications 
were for naval policy. The Gorshkov series was a substantial contribu- 
tion to this important debate, which addressed fundamental questions 
concerning long-range objectives and the nature of the Soviet system. 
His articles provide valuable new insights to the decisionmaking 
process and where the Soviet navy stands within the national policy. 
But the series is primarily a polemic, and we must therefore bear 
in mind that the degree of Gorshkov’s commitment to the various 
arguments he advances is likely to vary greatly.
