“If Russia were to revert to authoritarianism, a strong Ukraine would be a vital deterrent to aggression. A prescription for disaster in Europe would be a weak, vulnerable Ukraine joining forces with a newly imperialist Russia,” Richard Nixon (p. 66) Beyond Peace was completed in early 1994, only weeks before the death of President Richard Nixon on April 22, 1994. It was published posthumously, but the insights he provided into US / Russian relations remain relevant today.
