“…Vienna, the capital, was similarly subdivided but the central district was administered jointly by the Allied Control Council. The occupation lasted much longer than initially intended, since state treaty negotiations were obstructed by the emerging Cold War (Ferring, 1968). The negotiations started in 1947, were in a state of suspension from mid-1950to 1953, were resumed in 1954, and finalized in 1955.…”

“…Talks stalled in 1949 and were fully suspended until 1953 due to heightened tensions following the Berlin Blockade and the Korean War. 27 Both sides were deeply suspicious of the other's intentions vis-à-vis the future of Austria. The United States feared that Moscow might exploit Austria's weakness following the withdrawal of U.S. troops and try to assert control over the whole country.…”

“…28 Moscow, having witnessed the strengthening of NATO with the rearmament of West Germany, questioned Western motives in Austria and sought to prevent further expansion of Western influence. 29 Despite the mutual mistrust and hostilities that marked Soviet-Western relations at the time, the Western allies and the Soviet Union ultimately agreed to withdraw their troops from Austria in 1955 as part of the Austrian State Treaty. According to the treaty's terms, the occupying powers recognized Austrian independence and territorial integrity, and agreed to the withdrawal of their forces; Austria agreed to secure its people's human rights; and the Soviet Union was also granted economic concessions.…”

R ussia and the West agree on very little these days. But they seem to have found one solid point of accord: Their current relations are the worst that they have been since the end of the Cold War. U.S. President Donald Trump says that they are at a dangerous low.1 Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees that relations have gotten worse in the last year.2 German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes Putin is already fighting a new cold war and is trying to reconstitute the Soviet Union.3 The 2017 U.S. National Security Strategy asserts that Russia seeks to reduce U.S. influence in the world globally, create a rift between the United States and its allies and partners, and interfere in the domestic political affairs of countries around the world.4 Both sides also agree that this new cold war is potentially extremely damaging, given each side's nuclear arsenal and well-established capabilities for international action. The original Cold War, which some today look back on with nostalgia, was a time of deep strategic uncertainty, costly proxy wars, and extraordinary peril. The ending of the Cold War without a nuclear exchange did, to a degree, reflect effective * For Armenia and Belarus, the question was phrased "remain in the Collective Security Treaty Organization" as they are already member states. ** Volunteered response.

Much has been written about how the United States and the Soviet Union have managed crises since World War II, avoiding dangerous escalation and war; little on how the two superpowers have avoided confrontations. In part scholarly neglect of the question of crisis avoidance reflects the acute suspicion and hostility of the cold war. When U.S.-Soviet rivalry was perceived as a struggle between incompatible ideologies and ways of life, it was unthinkable that the superpowers might have any common interests, much less that they could collaborate, even tacitly, to control the conflict in their relationship.
