Jamāl cAbdannāṣir’s death on 28 September 1970 ushered in a period of uncertainty in Soviet-Egyptian relations. Though he had appointed Anwar as-Sādāt as vice-president, he had not designated an heir. His modus operandi had been to concentrate power in his own hands and operate through his personal secretariat. He left no political tradition and no obvious centre of decision making authority, but only power diffused among the army elite, the Arab Socialist Union, the secret police and the intelligence services. Moscow proceeded warily. The regular visits were ill-suited to penetrating to this enigmatic and changeable network of power. Moscow relied primarily on close ties with the official wielders of power. The new era was marked with a radical shift in the underlying elements of Egypt’s internal and external policies. In order to understand the nature of the goals, means and style of Sadat’s policy, with its consequences for Soviet-Egyptian relations, it is necessary to focus on his perception of international and regional politics, including, for example, the superpowers’ moves towards detente; the military balance between Israel and the Arab countries; and the inter-Arab world competition. Anwar as-Sādāt had its own methods of manipulating the constraints on Egypt and using its capabilities in developing foreign policy at local, regional and global levels.
