Soviet raiding doctrine as a diversion from the decisive theatre

Did Soviet naval doctrine emphasize raiding supplies in a North Atlantic war?

Yes, but principally as a way to distract NATO forces into distant waters and weaken reinforcement of the decisive European theatre.

The answer distinguishes Soviet concepts from German-style attempts to defeat Britain through commerce warfare. A cruiser and submarine operating in the Indian Ocean could compel NATO to detach a carrier group or other valuable forces far from the decisive theatre. Sustaining that deployment would depend on political access to ports such as those Indonesia might provide. The main Soviet naval mission would still be protecting ballistic-missile submarines and supporting the European war, while distant raiding weakened the escorts available for Atlantic reinforcement convoys.
