		Kennan divided his message into five parts so that "each could pass as a separate telegram, and it would not look so outrageously long".
		Kennan's curious misreading of America's likely domestic response probably stemmed from his background, and the fact that he had spent little of his adult life at home.
		Kennan blamed Roosevelt for ignoring the warnings, saying that, towards the end of his life, the ailing US president had clung to a concept of Stalin's personality that was far below his normal quality of statesmanship.

		Kennan is so automatically associated with Russia that it bears remembering how much of his long professional life involved other countries.
		Kennan's name is often linked with the policy of "containment," although he justifiably argues the policy as practiced was not his.
		Kennan's containment concept was actually rather Russian, similar to Marshal Kutuzov's strategy (at least in Lev Tolstoy's account) for defeating Napoleon's invasion: "patience and time." Although sometimes derided as "soft," Kennan's concept was validated.

		Kennan was born in February 1904 in the upper Midwest of the United States, the son of a lawyer and a distant relative of a noted Russian scholar, his namesake.
		Indicative of Kennan’s complex thinking, however, he came to disavow many of the precepts he had set forth, or at least to deny that Washington was following a course of action that fit properly with those recommendations.
		In particular, Kennan came to downgrade the importance of military might in meeting the Soviet threat, stressing instead the need for accommodation and multilateral cooperation.

		Kennan once described it, ''a policy of firm containment, designed to confront the Russians with unalterable counter-force at every point where they show signs of encroaching upon the interests of a peaceful and stable world."
		Kennan's response ranks with the ''Zimmerman Telegram," which helped persuade Americans the nation needed to confront Germany in World War I, as one of the two most momentous cables in US history.

		George Kennan, right, laid out the general lines of the U.S. containment policy.
		In his 1947 article, Kennan disagreed with the emphasis on military containment embodied in the "Truman doctrine." That policy, announced three months before publication of Kennan's article, committed U.S. aid in support of "free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressure."
		After a difference of opinion on Germany — Kennan favored reunification, his superiors did not — he took a leave of absence in 1950 to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
