peaceful coexistence

 
     
  A Soviet foreign policy slogan during the Cold War which usually meant conducting the struggle of Communism against the capitalist world with sufficient restraint to avoid the risk of general war, i.e. mutual nuclear annihilation. It did not mean (as some in the West believed) ‘live and let live’. It had its origins in the ideological convolutions of the Bolshevik leadership in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917. See also appeasement; Cuban Missile Crisis; Panch Schila.
