On August 25, 1985, Samantha Smith, a girl who became known to the whole world, died after she wrote a letter to the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Yuri Andropov and asked him if he was planning to start a war against the United States. The Secretary General invited Samantha to the USSR - to personally make sure that the Soviet Union does not wish evil to the rest of the world. Great hopes were pinned on Samantha in the issue of easing international tension. However, the girl's life was tragically cut short in a plane crash. She was only 13 years old.
