Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Markii uu Yuri Andropov uu Leonid Brezhnev ku beddelay hoggaamiyaha Midowgii Soofiyeeti bishii Nofeembar 1982, wargeysyada iyo majaladdaha waaweyn ee reer galbeedka waxay daabaceen sawirro iyo maqaallo badan oo ku saabsan boggiisa koowaad. Warbixinta badankeedu waxay ahayd mid diidmo leh waxayna u muuqatay inay tahay khatar cusub oo ku wajahan xasilloonida reer galbeedka. Andropov wuxuu safiirkii Soviet-ka u ahaa Hungary intii lagu jiray kacaankii Hungarian-ka ee 1956 iyo gudoomiyihii KGB intii u dhaxeysay 1967 ilaa 1982; intii uu xilka hayey, wuxuu reer galbeedku u yaqaanay
Jabintii Gu'gii Prague iyo xasuuqii argagaxisada sida Andrei Sakharov iyo Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Wuxuu bilaabay xilka hogaamiyaha Midowga Soofiyeeti isagoo xoojinaya awooda KGB, iyo xakameynta mucaaradka. Sida laga soo xigtay Vasili Mitrokhin, Andropov wuxuu u arkay halganka xuquuqda aadanaha inuu qayb ka yahay shirqool ballaaran oo gumaysi oo lagu wiiqayo aasaaska dowladda Soofiyeeti. Xiisado badan oo caalami ah ayaa hareeyay dadaalada labadaba Soviet iyo American si loo horumariyo hubka awood u leh in laga bilaabo dayax gacmeedyada ku wareegsan meeraha. Labada dowladoodba waxay lahaayeen barnaamijyo cilmi baaris iyo horumarineed oo ballaaran si loo horumariyo tiknoolajiyada noocan ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, labada wadanba waxay la imaanayeen cadaadis sii kordhaya si loo kala diro mashruuca. Mareykanka dhexdiisa, madaxweyne Ronald Reagan waxa uu cadaadis kala kulmay koox saynisyahano Mareykan ah iyo khubaro isugu jira dhanka hubka, halka Midowgi Soofiyeeti ay soo saareen bayaan ay ku sheegeen, "si looga hortago in cirku noqdo meel dagaal, waa mid ka mid ah howlaha ugu muhiimsan ee horyaala bini'aadamka".
