MOSCOW – Georgy Arbatov, a foreign policy adviser to Soviet presidents who served as the country's top America-watcher during the Cold War, died Friday. He was 87. Russian state TV, which reported Arbatov's death, did not give the cause of death, or say where he was when he passed away. Arbatov, who advised leaders from Leonid Brezhnev to Mikhail Gorbachev and was especially close to Yuri Andropov, was credited in the West and later in Russia for understanding the Soviet system was fundamentally untenable.
