The Soviet l:mon is prone to seize any opportynity when- ever a maior nation of the We t becomes persona non grata and where there 1s a chance to enhance its future po~ition. No greater international op- portunl-t for extending in- fluence exists m the 1, oriel t<:>- day than Russia. Whenever there are impatient tirrings among the citizenry of an un- de1·eloped country and wher- ever there is disenchantment with a fom1er colonial nation or with any major power. Rus- sia can be counted upon to step in. A: ca e in point is :-;igeria , which is attempting lo recover from its years of warfare with the Biafrans. While the conflict II as still in progress, Gen. Yakubu Gowon made the statement that he was going to avoid the danger of economic domination by any one coun- try or group of countries, and to seek a balance o foreign interests. That ga1 e the Soviet Union ju t the cut. This condition was made possible for Russian opportun- , ism by the fact thJjt the Brit- ish pres co erage favored Biafra and the British refused to give i la the bombers or big guns the. requested France also bas been d s- tinctly at a disaovantage be- cau ·e of the widespr LI ill feeling toward it d 1e to its support of Bialra. Under these circumstances and a)i could be expecJed, the Soviet l"nion came forth \\ilh ;\11Gs and 11- yushins as well a a couple dozen 122mm guns. This mate- rial 11as accompanied by a flood of Russian propaganda. , It was par!Jcularly pubh- cized for the U.S.S.R when Gen. Gowon called in the So- viet ambassador, Alexander Josif~vich Romanov, just alter
