In this respect any domestic failures threatening the foundations of socialist society must be remedied. 32 Whatever its impact on its immediate audience, this part of the speech with its contradictory emphases on military strength, and on the need for domestic achievement; the need to compete economically with the West and yet to trade with it despite the fear of political and ideological infection, 34 The Sea in Soviet Strategy still summarise for the outsider some of the underlying causes of the Soviet Union's economic failures.

Within the last thirty years this great gulf has largely been filled. The Soviet Union has overcome what seemed an insuperable handicap and now possesses a maritime strength which although not equal to that of the United States and its allies, is sufficient to present an effective challenge to that ability to use the seas in peace and war, which they see as essential to survival.
16 The apparently glaring exception to this perceived harmony of interests between Party and armed forces is of course the Stalinist purge in 1937, in which it is calculated that three out of five marshals, 90 per cent of general officers and 80 per cent of colonel's rank, were either executed or imprisoned. The navy lost all of its senior admirals and several of the professors at the Leningrad Naval Academy. It is however fair to argue that this was not a Party policy in any real sense but one of the most outrageous examples of Stalin's megalomania, which, along with his similar purges of the Party, was to be denounced after his death as his greatest offence.
