Abstract :The Cold War experience of the Soviet Union has brought about significant implications in terms contributing to the strategic thought. The Soviet strategic experience marked its place in history of strategic thought with its stress of disharmony between ideology and strategy. It indicated how a strategy under the yoke of an ideology may well impel a hegemonic power falling into strategic traps. The underlying cause of this fact was that the pre-eminence of ideological goals on the part of the Soviet regime involved much more sophisticated strategic adaptation capability which was extremely hard to achieve. Yet, her inner philosophic logic remained incoherent and weak in terms of finding correct the strategic responses faced with the dynamics of the Cold War.
