Which should be the world´s largest lesson from the Cold War? 

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the most important lesson the world can learn through the Cold War, was that the ideas that surround governments are key to understand their behaviour. Because just as the US was attached to freedom and justice, the Soviet Union was attached to communist ideas shaped by Marxism-Leninism.
