This paper examines Soviet assessments of the Federal Republic of Germany's (FRG) security policy during the Gorbachev period. In this context, the main issues discussed in the Soviet open-source literature are: nuclear weapons; West German defense cooperation with France; the FRG's role in NATO; Soviet-West German relations; the German question and revanchism; and arms control. Soviet assessments of the FRG have clearly become more positive in the past two years. In short, the Gorbachev leadership recognizes the fundamentally important role the FRG plays in the West and between East and West.
