Abstract
The study is a rare attempt to explore the early history of Russian ballistic missile defense on the basis of recently declassified Russian archival documents, from first efforts to research the possibility to create missile defense to large‐scale efforts to build national missile defense prior to signing the Anti‐Ballistic Missile Treaty in 1972. Analyzed are the Soviet successes and failures in creating, testing and implementing some important elements of ballistic defense, as well as their reasons. Also researched is the Soviet decision to sign the ABM Treaty and why it was made. A special section is dedicated to the role of the Soviet leaders in Russia's road to ballistic missile defense.
