Abstract
It was in the early 1970s that the transfer of Western technology to the Soviet Union first became a public issue in the form in which it has since been debated. Such ‘transfers’, by both commercial and non-commercial means, had in fact been occurring since the Russian Revolution of 1917; and a three-volume study by Sutton, describing these earlier transfers, was already in course of publication. Nevertheless, a sequence of conspicuous events drew the attention of politicians, officials and academics to the subject around 1970.
