It's ridiculous to think that Russia ignored Star Wars. They have as professional a military as any in the world and they absolutely were spending to circumvent anything we did with Star Wars. They had a huge investment in missiles and the prospect that a large segment of their military preparedness could be eliminated (or at least diminished) by star wars could not possibly be ignored.
