The question raised in world capitals is whether Nixon's success in easing some of the tensions between Washington and Peking will make it more difficult for him to arrive at agreements with Russia, which is locked in a bitter ideological and territorial dispute with the Chinese. The Soviet Union, suspicious from the beginning of Nixon's China trip, have charged him with engaging in some sort of anti - Russian with plotting the Asia influence should Kremlin to forego the opportunity to arrive at agreements on European and Middle Eastern affairs and nuclear arms limitation matters, which are as much to their interest as they are to that of the United States. However, it is possible to understand why Russian leaders, with their conspiratorial view of history and diplomacy, were uneasy about Nixon's talks with Mao and Chou.
