Горбачёва в Великобританию в декабре 1984 г. для дальнейшего развития отношений между СССР и Западом. Визит был инициирован премьер-министром М. Тэтчер для знакомства с потенциальным лидером Советского Союза, посредником между которым и президентом США Р. Рейганом она надеялась стать. Активизация отношений с СССР была частью курса британского премьера на возвращение Англии на мировую арену в качестве активного игрока после победы в войне за Фолкленды. Переговоры в Лондоне представляли собой в первую очередь дискуссию о проблемах стратегической стабильности, призванную дать сторонам лучшее понимание позиций друг друга и не предполагавшую заключения политических соглашений в силу характера визита и того, что такие договорённости могли быть заключены только между СССР и США. Двусторонняя составляющая переговоров преимущественно сводилась к расширению экономического сотрудничества между двумя странами, а также таким «раздражителям» отношений, как права человека и поддержка Советским Союзом забастовок британских шахтёров. Тезисы М.С. Горбачёва о необходимости нового политического мышления и Европе как «общем доме», впервые провозглашённые им во время визита в Великобританию, были восприняты в Лондоне как не имеющая реального содержания риторика. Тем не менее у британского премьера сложилось впечатление, что с советским политиком можно будет вести доверительный диалог. Положительное впечатление будущий лидер СССР произвёл также на британское общественное мнение. При этом позднейшие заявления как самой М. Тэтчер, так и критиков М.С. Горбачёва о судьбоносном характере их первой встречи, якобы во многом предопределившей развитие отношений Востока и Запада в период перестройки, представляются преувеличенными. В то время ни в Лондоне, ни в Москве не допускали возможности смены строя и распада СССР в обозримой перспективе.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article explores the significance of Mikhail Gorbachev's first journey to the UK in December 1984 for the East-West relations. The visit was initiated by Margaret Thatcher who wanted to get acquainted with the potential Soviet leader as she hoped to become a trusted intermediary between Moscow and Washington. The revitalization of contacts with the USSR was a part of Britain's resurgence as a major world player after the Falklands victory. The discussions in London focused on the issue of strategic stability, though they could only serve to give the parties a better understanding of each other's position, as no political agreement could be reached due to the nature of the visit and the fact that any agreement on the subject had to be between the Soviet Union and the United States. The bilateral relations issues being discussed included mostly economic cooperation and such problems as human rights in the USSR and Soviet assistance to the British miners' strike. Gorbachev's speech on "new political thinking" and "a common European home", expressions first used during the visit to Uk, rang hollow to London, however Thatcher had the impression that she could deal with the Soviet politician in future. The British public opinion also saw Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife favourably. Later statements of Lady Thatcher and Gorbachev's critics on the meeting being defining for the foreign policy of the perestroika era should be seen as exaggerated, as the demise of the Communist system and the USSR were not foreseen by anyone in 1984, either in London or in Moscow.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>перестройка</kwd><kwd>визит</kwd><kwd>советско-британские отношения</kwd><kwd>М.С.
