The Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party in Moscow was, the most important party congress since premier Vladimir Llyich Lenin. The fact is that the sessions represented a turning point comparable only to the Fifteenth Congress of 1927. The isolationist concept was the product of a series of international defeats culminated by the debacle in China, and of premier Joseph Stalin's conviction that the Soviet Union could--or had to--go it alone. In precisely the same way, the policies expounded at the last congress represented, a new course, dictated by a new set of circumstances. What emerged was a brand-new foreign policy hand-tailored for this day and hour.
