DESCRIPTION:The Soviet Union disappeared from the world’s political map 
 on Christmas Day 1991 leaving behind 30\,000 nuclear weapons. Its principa
 l successor\, the Russian Federation\, bankrupt and about to face food rat
 ioning\, faced political turmoil and lawlessness.\n\nThe day was saved by 
 the former enemy which has organised and funded the dismantlement of these
  weapons and other nuclear paraphernalia\; and for the making safe of\, an
 d provision of security for\, facilities which remain\, to the tune of a b
 illion dollars a year.  The other nations of the G8 have pledged a further
  billion dollars a year for each year from 2002 to 2012.\nThe magnitude co
 mpass and unlooked-for consequences of these programmes are such that a ca
 se can be put for their being one of the signal events of 20th century int
 ernational relations -  and yet little is known of them.
