The word peace was a key element in the official rhetoric of the Soviet Union, reflecting a sincere feeling among its citizens who had experienced the horrors of war.
In the Soviet Union, the concept of peace was present in both private and public life, with citizens toasting to peace at home and chanting slogans for peace in public gatherings.
The official use of the word peace in the USSR had nuances and was sometimes opportunistic, justifying participation in the arms race with the US as a means to achieve peace.
While efforts towards disarmament in the 1980s by leaders like Gorbachev and Reagan were seen as steps towards peace, the global degradation has since devalued the significance of the word.
