Peaceful Coexistence

Peaceful coexistence is a theory developed by the Soviet Union at various points during the Cold War and solidified by Soviet leader Krushchev as a concept in Soviet foreign policy in 1956 at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party in order to decrease tensions between the Soviet Bloc and the Western world in the face of a possible nuclear war.
