- Summary:
- Perhaps in the hope that the West would help prolong its rapidly waning life, the former Soviet apparatchik Georgi Arbatov once said that the West needed Soviet communism in much the same way as Roman Catholicism required the Devil. In his speech to the Congress of Prague Vaclav Klaus, the Czech prime minister, expressed a diametrically opposite view when he spoke of 'ideas, not enemies': that now, as in the past, the West owes its identity and its strength to common values, not to a common foe.
