metadata.value: The article examines the formation of the conceptual basis of the nuclear deterrence/
  containment policy. The author examines the evolution of US nuclear strategy during the
  Cold War period (1946–1989). American experts of nuclear deterrence theory agreed that
  the threat to the enemy must be realistic. The opponent must be restrained not only by the threat itself, but also by the fact that he believes in it. This was the basis of the evolution of US
  nuclear doctrines. The author sets out to prove three main points. First, the concept of nuclear
  deterrence/ containment is a brainchild of the US nuclear strategy. (Other nuclear states have
  borrowed some particular elements of the US nuclear strategy and attempt to adapt them to
  their strategic policies). Second, the basis of the nuclear deterrence/ containment concept was
  developed and tested in the USA in the latter half of the 20th century. Third, the ideas adopted
  during the Cold War period still determine the US nuclear strategy development, which
  enables us to predict its main trends. The author, also, demonstrates that, despite its aggressive
  stance, the US nuclear containment concept was mainly defensive. By the late 1980s, it was
  clear that the nuclear containment concept was undergoing a certain crisis, thus giving rise to
  the development of the concept of nuclear deterrence.
