    The old Marshal Semion Budenny, former commander of the Soviet First Cavalry Army during the Civil War, in 1967, during an interview with The New York Times correspondent in Moscow, the old retired marshal, who was over 80 and still rode horses every day, was asked: " What role do you think cavalry will play during the next war?
    "Decisive!" answered Budenny without hesitation.
