The Ukrainian issue has intensified the tension that existed between the West and Russia: now, another Cold War is possibly lurking on the horizon. Are we to witness another stand-off - or will it be averted? The relations between Russia and the West seem to be stuck at dead-end, so is there hope common ground will emerge between the two? We ask these questions to the man who prides himself on ending the Cold War, the last leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev, on Sophie&Co; today.

The end of the Cold War, the reunification of Germany, liberalism and Perestroyka. The USSR's first and last president, Mikhail Gorbachev celebrates his 80th birthday today, and his legacy includes being hailed as the father of Russia's democracy. Mikhail Gorbachev was born in a small village in the south of the country, and became leader of the USSR in 1985. With his economic and political reforms, he paved the way for democracy in Russia. His best known reform is dubbed "Perestroyka", which aimed to revamp the country without destroying the basis of socialism. His initiatives also led to the abolishment of state censorship and the creation of free speech in the country. Gorbachev received the Nobel peace prize in 1990. A year later, however, he was removed from power in a coup which saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and Boris Yeltsin become president. But Mikhail Gorbachev still says his reforms were timely and necessary. "We realized from experience that it was dangerous to wait much longer, that we had to take a risk," he told RT in an interview. "But we couldn't postpone it, we needed changes." Gorbachev does not agree when people say that Perestroyka failed: "It didn't fail. It was disrupted, derailed, stopped. But still, Perestroyka achieved a lot. Inside Russia, we had democracy, free elections, freedom of consciousness, private property, freedom to travel abroad --everything. Also, glasnost. There was so much openness -- the entire country was affected. People realized they had finally got some freedom, an opportunity to act." The first USSR president points out that the end of the Cold War was among key goals of his administration: "In foreign affairs, we put an end to the Cold War. We normalized our relationship with the US, we reunited Germany -- we didn't send our tanks or troops there. All our units in Eastern Europe stayed where they were. It wasn't always easy." However, many things did not work as planned, Gorbachev confessed. "At the beginning, when we made our first mistakes, we didn't really explain to people what was going on and didn't get them involved in all those processes -- we were self-confident," he said. "But in public politics, I don't think we ever lost a major battle," Mikhail Gorbachev concluded.

VOICED BY KATHERINE BONNER
A bereft Mikhail Gorbachev buried his wife Raisa on Thursday at a fittingly
stylish but simple funeral attended by many foreign and Russian dignitaries.
The Gorbachevs had been together for more than 40 years - their relationship and Raisa's elegance becoming enduring symbols of the reforms the Kremlin chief introduced in the late 1980s.
VOICE OVER:
00 02 A photo of Raisa Gorbachev and a wreath from President Boris Yeltsin led the solemn procession into Russia's most historic cemetery.
00 10 Hundreds of ordinary Russians gathered outside the cemetery for a glimpse of the funeral cortege.
00 16 Mikhail Gorbachev, his daughter and two granddaughters walked behind the open coffin as it was carried to through the cemetery.
00 24 Grieving friends and relatives offered their condolences to the former president.
00 28 He was clearly worn down by the ordeal of sitting with his wife for two months in a German clinic as she lost her battle against the blood disease.
00 38 His final farewell to her was a poignant moment...
Their marriage was legendary and they were inseparable throughout their forty six years together.
00 51 Their only daughter Irinia was deeply moved by her mother's death.
A sentiment shared by many.
00 58 But that wasn't always the case.
Raisa Gorbachev was sharply criticised by ordinary Russians for her flamboyant dress sense and high public profile.
01 06 FX
01 09 But their view of her changed when she was admitted to hospital in July after contracting a rare form of leukemia.
The Gorbachevs were then inundated with letters offering support, advice and money.
01 21 When she died, world leaders joined Russian mourners in offering their condolences to the Gorbachevs.
They included U-S President Bill Clinton, French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (Russian: Михаи́л Серге́евич Горбачёв, tr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov; IPA: [mʲɪxɐˈil sʲɪrˈɡʲejəvʲɪtɕ ɡərbɐˈtɕof] (
listen); born 2 March 1931) is a former Soviet statesman, having served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991, and as the last head of state of the Soviet Union, having served from 1988 until its dissolution in 1991. He was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union to have been born during the Communist rule.
Gorbachev was born in Stavropol Krai into a peasant Ukrainian–Russian family, and in his teens operated combine harvesters on collective farms. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1955 with a degree in law. While he was at the university, he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and soon became very active within it. In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Kraikom, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a member of the Politburo in 1979. Within three years of the deaths of Soviet Leaders Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, and Konstantin Chernenko, Gorbachev was elected General Secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level.

Ronald Wilson Reagan (
/ˈrɒnəld ˈwɪlsən ˈreɪɡən/; February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States, serving from 1981 to 1989. Prior to that, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975 and a radio, film and television actor.
Born in Tampico, Illinois and raised in Dixon, Reagan was educated at Eureka College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and sociology. After his graduation, Reagan moved first to Iowa to work as a radio broadcaster and then in to Los Angeles in 1937 where he began a career as an actor, first in films and later television. Some of his most notable films include Knute Rockne, All American, Kings Row, and Bedtime for Bonzo. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later as a spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, his positions began shifting rightward in the late 1950s, and he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and general election in 1980, defeating incumbent Jimmy Carter.

Bush on Thursday paid his respects to Ronald Reagan at the US Capitol Rotunda where the former president is lying in state. Bush had returned from the G-8 summit in Sea Island, Georgia. Bush was accompanied by the US first lady, Laura Bush. Earlier in the day, Mr. Reagan's toughest opponent, Mikhail Gorbachev, entered to Rotunda to pause before his former political opponent, and friend. At the US Capitol Rotunda, where the remains of the 40th US President lie in state, up to 5,000 people are passing by the casket each hour. In the early afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist entered the Rotunda with the new interim Iraqi President, Ghazi al-Yawer. al-Yawer, fresh from the summit with world leaders in Sea Island, placed a hand to his chest in front of the casket before moving on. A few minutes later, former Japanese prime minister Yasuhiro Nakasone entered the Rotunda to publicly bid a farewell to his friend. The Capitol sergeant at arms office, which oversees security in the Capitol, estimated 30,000 people had viewed the casket in the first 10 hours of lying in state in the Rotunda. World leaders from the 1980s are arriving in Washington to attend Friday's funeral. At the official White House guest residence, Blair House, where the Reagan family is staying, official guests arrived to give condolences to Nancy Reagan. At mid afternoon on Thursday, the Reagan children, Ron and his wife, and sister Patti Davis left while Nancy Reagan remained inside. One of the first to arrive was former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She was followed by former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Following his meeting with Nancy, Mulroney talked with reporters about how the former First Lady is holding up during these hours. A few minutes after Mulroney left, the former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone arrived to call on Mrs. Reagan. And then, following his visit to the Rotunda, George W Bush arrived with Laura Bush.

Plot: In 1985, Sergei Gregoriev, a Soviet colonel, wants to force his nation to reform, so he leaks secret information to the West. He picks an unlikely contact, a Pierre Froment, French nebbish in the diplomatic corps. Gregoriev keeps a lot of balls in the air - a marriage, a teen son he's trying to bond with, a mistress who's a colleague at work; his tradecraft is equally reckless. Meanwhile, Froment keeps his spy work secret from his German wife, and Mitterrand uses Gregoriev's information to make France indispensable to Reagan and his government. When Gregoriev leaks a list of key Soviet moles and spies, Gorbachev is left without secret intelligence. Will Gregoriev get what he wants?

You, you, you gotta put it in here and rinse it off and start all over again and, and sometimes, sometimes life sticks to the floor so bad you know a mop, a mop, it's not good enough, it's not good enough.

But if that doesn't work, that doesn't work, you can't give up. You gotta, you gotta stand right up. You, you gotta run to a window and say, "Hey! These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more!"

Just BASH it right in!::Bob: George, you know I can't do that. You still owe me five bucks.
Joe Earley: [afterlosing his thumb in a table saw] Can you believe this? Would you look at that? Just call me "Mr. Butterfingers." I think it's on the floor somewhere. Is my face red.

Quotes:
Frank: It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.Jane: I've heard police work is dangerous.::Frank: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.::Jane: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?::Frank: I used to have that problem.::Jane: What did you do about it?::Frank: I just think about baseball.
Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.::Jane: Goodyear?::Frank: No, the worst.
Frank: Just think; next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.
Frank: It's fourth and fifteen and you're looking at a full-court press.
Mayor: Drebin, I don't want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That's my policy.::Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's *my* policy.::Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.
Frank: I'm telling ya, the answer's up there in Ludwig's office. Call it what you will. A hunch, woman's intuition. That guy Ludwig knows a lot more than he's telling us.::Ed: A hunch won't stand up in court, Frank. Where are your hard facts?::Frank: Look. He's the only one outside of ourselves who knew that Nordberg was still alive. Next thing we know, some thug tries to knock Nordberg off in the hospital.::Ed: That may be, but breaking into Ludwig's office, you're takin' a big chance.::Frank: I know. You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in a fan.
Frank: Jane, since I've met you, I've noticed things that I never knew were there before... birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.
Frank: Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat.
Frank: Interesting... almost as interesting as the photographs I saw today.::Jane: I was young! I needed the work!

The end of the Cold War, the reunification of Germany, liberalism and Perestroyka. The USSR's first and last president, Mikhail Gorbachev celebrates his 80th birthday today, and his legacy includes being hailed as the father of Russia's democracy.

The Contemporary Russian Revolution: Gorbachev, Glasnost, Perestroika, Communist Economy (1990)
Glasnost (Russian: гла́сность) was a policy that called for increased openness and transparency in government institutions and activities in the Soviet Union. Introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the second half of the 1980s, Glasnost is often paired with Perestroika (literally: Restructuring), another reform instituted by Gorbachev at the same time. The word "glasnost" has been used in Russian at least since the end of the 18th century. The word was frequently used by Gorbachev to specify the policies he believed might help reduce the corruption at the top of the Communist Party and the Soviet government and moderate the abuse of administrative power in the Central Committee. Russian human rights activist and dissident Lyudmila Alexeyeva explained "glasnost" as a word that "had been in the... -

The end of the Cold War, the reunification of Germany, liberalism and Perestroyka. The USSR's first and last president, Mikhail Gorbachev celebrates his 80th birthday today, and his legacy includes being hailed as the father of Russia's democracy. Mikhail Gorbachev was born in a small village in the south of the country, and became leader of the USSR in 1985. With his economic and political reforms, he paved the way for democracy in Russia. His best known reform is dubbed "Perestroyka", which aimed to revamp the country without destroying the basis of socialism. His initiatives also led to the abolishment of state censorship and the creation of free speech in the country. Gorbachev received the Nobel peace prize in 1990. A year later, however, he was removed from power in a coup which saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and Boris Yeltsin become president. But Mikhail Gorbachev still says his reforms were timely and necessary. "We realized from experience that it was dangerous to wait much longer, that we had to take a risk," he told RT in an interview. "But we couldn't postpone it, we needed changes." Gorbachev does not agree when people say that Perestroyka failed: "It didn't fail. It was disrupted, derailed, stopped. But still, Perestroyka achieved a lot. Inside Russia, we had democracy, free elections, freedom of consciousness, private property, freedom to travel abroad --everything. Also, glasnost. There was so much openness -- the entire country was affected. People realized they had finally got some freedom, an opportunity to act." The first USSR president points out that the end of the Cold War was among key goals of his administration: "In foreign affairs, we put an end to the Cold War. We normalized our relationship with the US, we reunited Germany -- we didn't send our tanks or troops there. All our units in Eastern Europe stayed where they were. It wasn't always easy." However, many things did not work as planned, Gorbachev confessed. "At the beginning, when we made our first mistakes, we didn't really explain to people what was going on and didn't get them involved in all those processes -- we were self-confident," he said. "But in public politics, I don't think we ever lost a major battle," Mikhail Gorbachev concluded.

A bereft Mikhail Gorbachev buried his wife Raisa on Thursday at a fittingly

The Gorbachevs had been together for more than 40 years - their relationship and Raisa's elegance becoming enduring symbols of the reforms the Kremlin chief introduced in the late 1980s.

00 16 Mikhail Gorbachev, his daughter and two granddaughters walked behind the open coffin as it was carried to through the cemetery.
00 24 Grieving friends and relatives offered their condolences to the former president.
00 28 He was clearly worn down by the ordeal of sitting with his wife for two months in a German clinic as she lost her battle against the blood disease.
00 38 His final farewell to her was a poignant moment...
Their marriage was legendary and they were inseparable throughout their forty six years together.
00 51 Their only daughter Irinia was deeply moved by her mother's death.

Gorbachev's Speech at University of Wyoming, October 2011
Mikhail Gorbachev, who led the Soviet Union during the historic final years of the Cold War spoke on "Global Unrest and International Leadership in the 21st Century" at the University of Wyoming on Friday, Oct. 14, at 3:30 p.m. in UW's Arena-Auditorium. The event was open to the public and occured during UW's Homecoming weekend.
Gorbachev served as head of state to the Soviet Union, including during its dissolution in 1991. Gorbachev is widely known for his reform measures as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan. Gorbachev is credited for his reorientation of Soviet strategic positions which coincided with the end of the Cold War.
Gorbachev dedicated himself to building a relationship of mutual trust between the Soviet Union and the United States, signing two broad disarmament pacts that dramatically reduced the danger of worldwide nuclear destruction. For his efforts, he was awarded the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize.
Now retired from politics, Gorbachev continues to strive toward achieving his global vision of peace. Gorbachev's efforts include starting the Gorbachev Foundation in 1992, headquartered in San Francisco, and founding Green Cross International in 1993.
"Mikhail Gorbachev is unquestionably one of the most influential world leaders of the 20th century. He will rank among the most significant personalities who have ever spoken on the University of Wyoming campus," said UW President Tom Buchanan. "This will be an incredible opportunity for our students, faculty, alumni and the Wyoming community to listen and interact with a world-changing political figure."
"This will be an incredible opportunity for our students, faculty, alumni and the Wyoming community to listen and interact with a world-changing political figure," Buchanan said when announcing that Gorbachev had accepted an invitation to speak at UW.
UW students had an opportunity to dine with one of the most influential world leaders of the 20th century by submitting questions to be asked of former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev, following his talk. Gorbachev wanted to answer students' questions. Students questions were selected by a committee and and posed by retired U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson. For those students whose questions were selected, they were invited to a reception to meet Gorbachev following his talk.

Glasnost (Russian: гла́сность) was a policy that called for increased openness and transparency in government institutions and activities in the Soviet Union. Introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the second half of the 1980s, Glasnost is often paired with Perestroika (literally: Restructuring), another reform instituted by Gorbachev at the same time. The word "glasnost" has been used in Russian at least since the end of the 18th century.
The word was frequently used by Gorbachev to specify the policies he believed might help reduce the corruption at the top of the Communist Party and the Soviet government and moderate the abuse of administrative power in the Central Committee. Russian human rights activist and dissident Lyudmila Alexeyeva explained "glasnost" as a word that "had been in the Russian language for centuries. It was in the dictionaries and lawbooks as long as there had been dictionaries and lawbooks. It was an ordinary, hardworking, nondescript word that was used to refer to a process, any process of justice of governance, being conducted in the open."
Glasnost can also refer to the specific period in the history of the USSR during the 1980s when there was less censorship and greater freedom of information.
Political openness continued to produce unintended consequences. In elections to the regional assemblies of the Soviet Union's constituent republics, nationalists swept the board. As Gorbachev had weakened the system of internal political repression, the ability of the USSR's central Moscow government to impose its will on the USSR's constituent republics had been largely undermined. During the 1980s, calls for greater independence from Moscow's rule grew louder. This was especially marked in the Baltic Republics of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, which had been annexed into the Soviet Union by Joseph Stalin in 1940. Nationalist feeling also took hold in other Soviet republics such as Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Starting in the mid-1980s, the Baltic states used the reforms provided by glasnost to assert their rights to protect their environment (for example during the Phosphorite War) and their historic monuments and, later, their claims to sovereignty and independence. When the Balts withstood outside threats, they exposed an irresolute Kremlin. Bolstering separatism in other Soviet republics, the Balts triggered multiple challenges to the Soviet Union. Supported by Russian leader Boris Yeltsin, the Baltic republics asserted their sovereignty.
The rise of nationalism under glasnost also reawakened simmering ethnic tensions throughout the union. For example, in February 1988, Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly ethnic Armenian region in the Azerbaijan SSR, passed a resolution calling for unification with the Armenian SSR, which sparked the Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The freedoms generated under glasnost enabled increased contact between Soviet citizens and the Western world, particularly with the United States. Restrictions on travel were loosened, allowing increased business and cultural contact. For example, one key meeting location was in the U.S. at the Dakin Building, then owned by American philanthropist Henry Dakin, who had extensive Russian contacts:
During the late 1980s, as glasnost and perestroika led to the liquidation of the Soviet empire, the Dakin building was the location for a series of groups facilitating United States-Russian contacts. They included the Center for U.S.-U.S.S.R. Initiatives, which helped more than 1000 Americans visit the Soviet Union and more than 100 then-Soviet citizens visit the U.S.[8]
While thousands of political prisoners and many dissidents were released in the spirit of glasnost, Gorbachev's original goal of using glasnost and perestroika to reform the Soviet Union was not achieved. In 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved following a failed coup by conservative elements who were opposed to Gorbachev's reforms.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasnost
Perestroika (Russian: перестро́йка) was a political movement for reformation within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union during the 1980s (1986), widely associated with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his glasnost (meaning "openness") policy reform. The literal meaning of perestroika is "restructuring", referring to the restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system.
Perestroika is often argued to be the cause of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe, and the end of the Cold War.

How the Cold War Ended: Mikhail Gorbachev Interview on Communism, the U.S. & Reagan (1996)

Mikhail Gorbachev Reflects on Reykjavik & Status of Nuclear Weapons Today
Mikhail Gorbachev was Soviet Union's last head of State until its dissolution in 1991. Both his internal reforms (Glasnost and Perestroika) and his new approach to international détente, in particular his pursuit of far-reaching nuclear disarmament measures, played an important role in ending the Cold War. The summit of Reykjavik, Iceland, from 11 to 12 October 1986, was the second meeting between Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan. As we now know from declassified documents, the two leaders came close to an agreement to abolish all nuclear weapons. --- On the eve of the summit's 26th anniversary, Gorbachev reflects on the paradigm shift that Reykjavik brought about and on the status of nuclear weapons today. The dramatic moments of this summit were recently re-enacted in the stage... -

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (Russian: Михаи́л Серге́евич Горбачёв, tr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov; born 2 March 1931) is a former Soviet statesman, having served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991, and as the country's head of state from 1988 until its dissolution in 1991. He was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union to have been born after the October Revolution. Alongside East Germany's Egon Krenz and Poland's Wojciech Jaruzelski, Gorbachev is one of the last surviving leaders of an Eastern Bloc state as of 2014.
Gorbachev was born in Stavropol Krai into a peasant Ukrainian--Russian family, and in his teens operated combine harvesters on collective farms. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1955 with a degree in law. While he was at the university, he joined the Communist Party, and soon became very active within it. In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Kraikom, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a member of the Politburo in 1979. Within three years of the deaths of Soviet Leaders Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, and Konstantin Chernenko, Gorbachev was elected General Secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level.
Gorbachev's policies of openness and restructuring as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to the end of the Cold War, removed the constitutional role of the Communist Party in governing the state, and inadvertently led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in 1989, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 and the Harvey Prize in 1992 as well as Honorary Doctorates from various universities as discussed below.
In September 2008, Gorbachev and business oligarch Alexander Lebedev announced they would form the Independent Democratic Party of Russia,[1] and in May 2009 Gorbachev announced that the launch was imminent.[2] This was Gorbachev's third attempt to establish a political party, having started the Social Democratic Party of Russia in 2001 and the Union of Social Democrats in 2007.
Although he has credited Vladimir Putin for stabilizing Russia in the aftermath of the initial and turbulent years of the post-Soviet era, Gorbachev has become critical of both Putin and his successor (and predecessor) Dmitry Medvedev since at least March 2011.[52] His main grievances about the "tandem" are backsliding on democracy, corruption, and the dominance of security officers. Gorbachev is also dissatisfied by the fact that he has not been allowed to register his social democratic party.[53]
When being interviewed by the BBC to reflect on the 20th anniversary of the August Coup, Gorbachev again announced his dissatisfaction with the policies and rule of Putin. Speaking of the status of democracy in the Russian Federation, he proclaimed: "The electoral system we had was nothing remarkable but they have literally castrated it". Gorbachev also stated that he believed that Putin should not have sought a third term as the Russian president in 2012.[54]
In response to the 2011 Russian protests as a result of United Russia's controversial victory in the Russian legislative election, 2011, he called on the authorities to hold a new election, citing electoral irregularities and ballot box stuffing.[55]
In a political lecture delivered to the RIA-Novosti news agency in April 2013, Gorbachev decried Putin's retreat from democracy, noting that in Russia "politics is increasingly turning into imitation democracy" with "all power in the hands of the executive branch". Gorbachev addressed Putin directly, stating that "to go further on the path of tightening the screws, having laws that limit the rights and freedoms of people, attacking the news media and organizations of civil society, is a destructive path with no future".

wn.com/How The Cold War Ended Mikhail Gorbachev Interview On Communism, The U.S. Reagan (1996)
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (Russian: Михаи́л Серге́евич Горбачёв, tr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov; born 2 March 1931) is a former Soviet statesman, having served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991, and as the country's head of state from 1988 until its dissolution in 1991. He was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union to have been born after the October Revolution. Alongside East Germany's Egon Krenz and Poland's Wojciech Jaruzelski, Gorbachev is one of the last surviving leaders of an Eastern Bloc state as of 2014.
Gorbachev was born in Stavropol Krai into a peasant Ukrainian--Russian family, and in his teens operated combine harvesters on collective farms. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1955 with a degree in law. While he was at the university, he joined the Communist Party, and soon became very active within it. In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Kraikom, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a member of the Politburo in 1979. Within three years of the deaths of Soviet Leaders Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, and Konstantin Chernenko, Gorbachev was elected General Secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level.
Gorbachev's policies of openness and restructuring as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to the end of the Cold War, removed the constitutional role of the Communist Party in governing the state, and inadvertently led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in 1989, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 and the Harvey Prize in 1992 as well as Honorary Doctorates from various universities as discussed below.
In September 2008, Gorbachev and business oligarch Alexander Lebedev announced they would form the Independent Democratic Party of Russia,[1] and in May 2009 Gorbachev announced that the launch was imminent.[2] This was Gorbachev's third attempt to establish a political party, having started the Social Democratic Party of Russia in 2001 and the Union of Social Democrats in 2007.

Mikhail Gorbachev to RT: America wanted to rule the world but lost its way
The Ukrainian issue has intensified the tension that existed between the West and Russia: now, another Cold War is possibly lurking on the horizon. Are we to witness another stand-off - or will it be averted? The relations between Russia and the West seem to be stuck at dead-end, so is there hope common ground will emerge between the two?

Mikhail Gorbachev was Soviet Union's last head of State until its dissolution in 1991. Both his internal reforms (Glasnost and Perestroika) and his new approach to international détente, in particular his pursuit of far-reaching nuclear disarmament measures, played an important role in ending the Cold War. The summit of Reykjavik, Iceland, from 11 to 12 October 1986, was the second meeting between Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan. As we now know from declassified documents, the two leaders came close to an agreement to abolish all nuclear weapons.
---
On the eve of the summit's 26th anniversary, Gorbachev reflects on the paradigm shift that Reykjavik brought about and on the status of nuclear weapons today. The dramatic moments of this summit were recently re-enacted in the staged reading of the play 'Reykjavik' by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes in New York on 27 September 2012: http://www.ctbto.org/specials/reykjavik-in-the-spotlight/

http://www.euronews.com/ You might think 20 years after the demise of the Soviet Union the then-leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, would surely be relegated to the cast of political "has beens". But even without an active political role, he remains a firm fixture of Russian social life. Increasingly critical of Putin's ruling style he has often advised him to step down.
euronews' Moscow correspondent Alexandre Shashkov met him to talk about the latest elections, and recent and yet-to-come social changes.
Alexandre Shashkov:
"The presidential elections are behind us, and now it's clear that in 2 months Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin will switch places. What do you think of the electoral campaign and the results of these elections?"
Mikhail Gorbachev:
"What's different in these elections from the previous ones, is that during the electoral campaign it became clear that society is emerging from a kind of vegetative state. People are starting to influence the agndas of the Prime Minister, future President, and Duma as well. The questions of serious change of the system, its democratization, and general reforms to make the electoral system better, remain high on the agenda. Because before, and this often angered me, the system got reformed in a way that only made it worse. It rejected the person, and pushed them out of the electoral process. Now it has to be vice versa, the system must be inclusive, and President Medvedev, in his last days in office, proposed a Constitutional Assembly, to correct the current system taking into account recent protests and the demands of the electorate who asked for a better system. I hope this doesn't just stay a proposition and is followed by results."
Alexandre Shashkov:
"Do you think Medvedev will succeed, that he will have enough time for these changes?"
Mikhail Gorbachev:
"I think not, because we lack any experience in these sorts of changes. We know the Constitution as it is - but how to change it, in what way?.. Well, in what way already becomes clear.
For example we have to bring back the elected regional governors, scrapped by Putin. If the governors are not appointed by the Kremlin, but elected by the people, they won't leave the authorities be. They will be pushing their point of view. Yes, it will be harder to deal with them, they will become more sure of themselves, will acquire political independence - but, frankly, that's what we need. People trust us, elect us, but we don't trust people back to have a say in how to run a country. If people ask for more say, then it's mature enough to act. And that's positive change."
Alexandre Shashkov:
"Do you think Putin as the new president will continue Medvedev's drive for democratization, to reform the country's political system?"
Mikhail Gorbachev:
"The president-elect - I think we can already call him that - has himself said many times that the issues of electoral process, electoral legislation and, generally, political processes will occupy a large part of his agenda. Well, this is what he states, even if from time to time he says, "Let's before that do this or that in the economy...". No, nothing should come before. And the scale of changes that were announced by the president - if this is not just for show, if we are to take him seriously - is such that it will require an enormous effort from the executive and legislative power, from the whole of society.
And, frankly, even if Putin didn't want to tackle these issues, and wanted to go back to the old ways, he can't anymore. Moreover, I think soon enough the question of early parliamentary elections will arise because we know in what condition the current one was elected. For us to have an active and effective parliament, we've got to have a new parliament."
Alexandre Shashkov:
"Let's look back a bit. Medvedev is at the end of his mandate. What can you say about his 4 years in power?"
Mikhail Gorbachev:
"Well, generally speaking, I consider Medvedev as a man with perspective and a future role, but he lacked experience and the time to accumulate it. Once he said to me, "Well, I have years ahead of me". Well, it means he wants to continue with his drive. If this is the case, good for him. But he could have been more useful, and should have acted more decisively, which would have put him in a more prominent position than the one he is in now. He's nobody to blame for that but himslef, and I hope he learns from that."
Alexandre Shashkov:
"Amongst the presidential candidates, who do you prefer?"

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev says that for EU, US or Russia to attempt to gain advantage over the Ukraine "for their own benefit would be wrong"
Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych set off a wave of protests by shelving an agreement with the EU in November and turning instead for a bailout loan from Russia.
Within weeks, the protests expanded to include outrage over corruption and human rights abuses, leading to calls for President Yanukovych's resignation.
This morning acting government of Ukraine issued an arrest warrant for President Yanukovych, last reportedly seen in the pro-Russian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, accusing him of mass crimes against protesters who stood up for months against his rule.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev speaking during an interview in the UAE city of Sharjah said that it was important that Ukraine is held together amid the crisis.
He said that the months of protests that drove President Viktor Yanukovych from office stemmed from his government's failure to act democratically.
The former Soviet leader added that any attempt by the European Union, the United States or Russia to "gain an advantage for themselves for their own benefit would be wrong."
Ukraine is deeply divided between largely pro-Russian eastern regions and western areas that long for closer ties with the EU.

RUSSIA: MIKHAIL GORBACHEV'S RESPONSE TO BORIS YELTSIN'S ILLNESS

Russian/Nat
Boris Yeltsin is incapable of fulfilling his duties and should step down immediately, according to Mikhail Gorbachev.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with APTV, the former Soviet president had
few friendly words for his old political sparring partner.
Boris Yeltsin's opponents are renewing their call for his resignation.
That's after the Kremlin confirmed today that the Russian president has pneumonia.
The 65-year-old president was hospitalised yesterday, two weeks after he returned
to work.
Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev is one of Yeltsin's critics - he says the Russian leader is a sick man and should quit.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Our president is physically unable to work. Politically, he has outlived himself, too. We've had the elections, but, as a matter of fact, still have no president. We just don't have a president!"
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet president
Gorbachev said Yeltsin today reminded him of his days in the politburo under the ailing Leonid Brezhnev and other geriatric Soviet leaders.
Yeltsin's speech, gait and inability to address the problems facing Russia bear striking similarities, Gorbachev said, to the old Soviet Kremlin bosses.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"There are many similarities between Brezhnev and Yeltsin: the way they walk the same way , the same difficulty in speaking, the same pretence of working two or three hours a day when actually no real work is done... I took part in just this kind of sham when I was a politburo member under Brezhnev. Such were the rules of the game."
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet president
While calling on Yeltsin to resign his office for the good of the country, Gorbachev admitted that he held out little hope that the Russian president would heed his plea.
Gorbachev believes the ailing Russian leader will do everything possible to stay in power.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Knowing Boris Nikolayevich the way I do, I doubt very much he will make this wise and responsible step of resigning. I've followed his political career since the fall of the Soviet Union, and my conclusion is Yeltsin is not the kind of person to resign. He doesn't have it in him . He will do everything possible to keep the country in political turmoil, will continue to divide and rule and do his utmost to remain in power."
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet president
But doctors who've treated the 65-year-old president say otherwise.
The president's heart surgeon says Yeltsin's condition is good and that his current
illness is unrelated to recent heart surgery.
And he isn't alone in his illness.
Moscow health officials estimate that 64-thousand people in the Russian capital have
contracted the flu -- or something like it -- since New Year's Day.

More revealing quotes below:
"The State of the World Forum will focus on the fundamental challenges and opportunities as we enter the next phase of human development. It is being held in the belief that at this momentous juncture in history, we are giving birth to the first global civilization."
Mission Statement from "The State of the World Forum" sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation, located at the Presidio in San Francisco attended by among others George W H Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, Ted Turner and Bill Gates. (1995)
"The environmental crisis is the cornerstone of the new world order."
Mikhail Gorbachev, speaking at a World Government planning session held at the State of the World Forum at the Presidio, in San Francisco hinting that that Globalists would use the so-called environmental crisis as a platform to argue in favour of a world government, which they claim is essential to solve the crisis. Environmentalism and its associated false science of "greenhouse effect," "global warming" "climate change" etc are used to confuse and delude people into believing a catastrophic event lies in the near future because of rampaging humanity and uncontrolled use of natural resources. This is great lie. Environmentalism is part of the socialist move for World Empire and is thus a mechanism of control and regulation .... It is all about control ... control of everyone everywhere from the cradle to the grave (1995)
"..The precondition for eventual and genuine globalization is progressive regionalization because by that we move towards larger, more stable, more cooperative units."
Zigbniew Brzezinski, speaking at the Gorbachev Conference, (1995)
"We need a new paradigm of development, in which the environment will be priority ... World civilization as we know it will soon end... We have very little time and we must act ... the need for sustainable development ... and the need for global environmental security [which is only possible if we] change our mindset - the way humankind views the world .... If we can address the environment problem, we have hope ... but it will have to be done within a new system, a new paradigm ...[but it is imperative for us to] change our current values [and to] join forces [with others around the world] since environmental problems are of a global nature .... By the year 2002 we will be presenting, the final draft of the Earth Charter! ... The main work is still ahead of us [moreover] the United States can play an important role in helping to establish the New International Order."
Mikhail Gorbachev, former dictator of Russia and "radical environmentalist," speaking at the Clowes Hall in Indianapolis, Indiana. (1996)
"Cosmos is my God; Nature is my God,"
Mikhail Gorbachev: Former Soviet dictator is the archetypal "watermelon Marxist" -- green on the outside, Red, very, very Red on the inside. His declaration to Charlie Rose in a PBS television interview (1996)
"My hope is that this charter will be a kind of Ten Commandments, a 'Sermon on the Mount,' that provides a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century and beyond."
Mikhail Gorbachev: former dictator of the Soviet Empire and KGB bigwig in an interview with the LA Times regarding the Earth Charter, the New Age inspired document that will be used to bring about a Global Empire founded on tyranny (1997)

"Горбачев", авторский фильм-эссе Алексея Лушникова, хр: 87 мин, 2001 г.
Фильм «Горбачев» — это рассказ об истории Государства Российского. В основу ленты легли интервью Алексея Лушникова с Михаилом Горбачевым с 1996 года, архивные киноматериалы и документы-первоисточники, рассказывающие о разных этапах истории страны. «Это фильм о судьбе великого человека, познавшего созидательный ужас знаний, освобождающий ужас правды и сладкий ужас власти, — сказал автор проекта Алексей Лушников. — Я не претендую на однозначность суждений. Это фильм-эссе, фильм-размышление, призывающий к анализу исторических событий».

Former leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev presented a new book about his life two days ahead of his 85th birthday in Moscow, Monday.
The book, titled 'Gorbachev in Life' is made up of memories, letters and interviews. Gorbachev said that he got "addicted" to the book while reading it.
SOT, Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the Soviet Union (Russian): "I found out about this when half of the work had already been done, when hundreds of pages had already been written."
SOT, Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the Soviet Union (Russian): "But I began to read it to from my own opinion and make a conclusion as the president of the [Gorbachev] Foundation. I started reading and I got addicted to reading."
SOT, Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet Union President (Russian): "The current situation worries me. It is necessary to provide people with the possibility to vote honestly and openly as we did in 1989 for the first time in the history of our country."
SOT, Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet Union President (Russian): "Those who came to the country's leadership to make a profit and cheat, if elections were honest, they wouldn't be there any more."
SOT, Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet Union President (Russian): "We [Gorbachev and his daughter Irina] decided that the celebration should take place in the circle of friends and without publicity."

W. Bush and President Michail Gorbachev also had to say. You do hear all of them a bit, but this old video recording focuses on Margaret Thatchers very amusing "iron lady" moments. -

FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON. One more episode of ''Duel'' talk show with Vladimir Zhirinovsky participating. This time he is going against Iosif Raihelgauz, some movie and theater director I've never heard before. The subject of this show is: Michail Gorbachev, and the role he played, mainly in the collapse of the Soviet Union, but also about good and bad things he had done. For Zhirinovsky, this subject is almost as painful as October Revolution of 1917. So, he is like usual using his style. I gotta say, that he have been on this show for so many times, his experience really counts. One of Raihelgauz's supporters made him angry, talking about things Zhirinovsky tired of hearing of, and when Zhirinovsky responds to him, you can see that his hands were actually shaking!

Well, since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to Berlin. And today I, myself, make my second visit to your city. We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination.

Mikhail Gorbachev: Biography, Education, Facts, History, Ideas, Importance, Legacy (1991)
In contrast to his controversial domestic reforms, Gorbachev was largely hailed in the West for his 'new thinking' in foreign affairs. During his tenure, he sought to improve relations and trade with the West by reducing Cold War tensions. He established close relationships with several Western leaders, such as West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher—who famously remarked: "I like Mr. Gorbachev; we can do business together".[25] Gorbachev understood the link between achieving international détente and domestic reform and thus began extending "New Thinking" abroad immediately. On 8 April 1985, he announced the suspension of the deployment of SS-20s in Europe as a move towards resolving intermediate-range nuclear weapons... -

One of Raihelgauz's supporters made him angry, talking about things Zhirinovsky tired of hearing of, and when Zhirinovsky responds to him, you can see that his hands were actually shaking! Raihelgauz, on the other hand, seeing that he's losing, at one moment I think he was ready to start crying. But of course he is no match. I think Zhirinovsky even realized it and backed down a little.
The arbitrator was some historian that repeated everything twice for some reason. He reminded me Johny ''Two Times'' from ''Goodfellas'' - ''I'm gonna get the paper get the paper'' lol.
Well... And Soloviev as always in his style.
Oh, and keep your hand on ''Pause'' button. They often talk at the same time, so you might need a moment to read everything.

Ronald Reagan "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" Bradenburg Gate Speech
Transcript:
Thank you very much. Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall. Well, since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to Berlin. And today I, myself, make my second visit to your city.
We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the composer, Paul Lincke, understood something about American Presidents. You see, like so many Presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: "Ich hab noch einen koffer in Berlin."
Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America. I understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the East. To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people. To those listening in East Berlin, a special word: Although I cannot be with you, I address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. For I join you, as I join your fellow countrymen in the West, in this firm, this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur ein Berlin.
Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guardtowers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same--still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.

Ronald Reagan "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" Bradenburg Gate Speech
Transcript:
Thank you very much. Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall. Well, since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to Berlin. And today I, myself, make my second visit to your city.
We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the composer, Paul Lincke, understood something about American Presidents. You see, like so many Presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: "Ich hab noch einen koffer in Berlin."
Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America. I understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the East. To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people. To those listening in East Berlin, a special word: Although I cannot be with you, I address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. For I join you, as I join your fellow countrymen in the West, in this firm, this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur ein Berlin.
Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guardtowers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same--still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world.

In contrast to his controversial domestic reforms, Gorbachev was largely hailed in the West for his 'new thinking' in foreign affairs. During his tenure, he sought to improve relations and trade with the West by reducing Cold War tensions. He established close relationships with several Western leaders, such as West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher—who famously remarked: "I like Mr. Gorbachev; we can do business together".[25]
Gorbachev understood the link between achieving international détente and domestic reform and thus began extending "New Thinking" abroad immediately. On 8 April 1985, he announced the suspension of the deployment of SS-20s in Europe as a move towards resolving intermediate-range nuclear weapons (INF) issues. Later that year, in September, Gorbachev proposed that the Soviets and Americans both cut their nuclear arsenals in half. He went to France on his first trip abroad as Soviet leader in October. November saw the Geneva Summit between Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan. Though no concrete agreement was made, Gorbachev and Reagan struck a personal relationship and decided to hold further meetings.
January 1986 would see Gorbachev make his boldest international move so far, when he announced his proposal for the elimination of intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe and his strategy for eliminating all nuclear weapons by the year 2000 (often referred to as the 'January Proposal'). He also began the process of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Mongolia on 28 July.[11] Nonetheless, many observers, such as Jack F. Matlock, Jr. (despite generally praising Gorbachev as well as Reagan), have criticized Gorbachev for taking too long to achieve withdrawal from the Afghanistan War, citing it as an example of lingering elements of "old thinking" in Gorbachev.[26]
On 11 October 1986, Gorbachev and Reagan met at Höfði house in Reykjavík, Iceland, to discuss reducing intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe. To the immense surprise of both men's advisers, the two agreed in principle to removing INF systems from Europe and to equal global limits of 100 INF missile warheads. They also essentially agreed in principle to eliminate all nuclear weapons in 10 years (by 1996), instead of by the year 2000 as in Gorbachev's original outline.[26] Continuing trust issues, particularly over reciprocity and Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), meant that the summit is often regarded as a failure for not producing a concrete agreement immediately, or for leading to a staged elimination of nuclear weapons. In the long term, nevertheless, this would culminate in the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987, after Gorbachev had proposed this elimination on 22 July 1987 (and it was subsequently agreed on in Geneva on 24 November).[11]
In February 1988, Gorbachev announced the full withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan. The withdrawal was completed the following year, although the civil war continued as the Mujahedin pushed to overthrow the pro-Soviet Najibullah government. An estimated 28,000 Soviets were killed between 1979 and 1989 as a result of the Afghanistan War.
Also during 1988, Gorbachev announced that the Soviet Union would abandon the Brezhnev Doctrine, and allow the Eastern bloc nations to freely determine their own internal affairs. Jokingly dubbed the "Sinatra Doctrine" by Gorbachev's Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov, this policy of non-intervention in the affairs of the other Warsaw Pact states proved to be the most momentous of Gorbachev's foreign policy reforms. In his 6 July 1989 speech arguing for a "common European home" before the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France, Gorbachev declared: "The social and political order in some countries changed in the past, and it can change in the future too, but this is entirely a matter for each people to decide. Any interference in the internal affairs, or any attempt to limit the sovereignty of another state, friend, ally, or another, would be inadmissible." A month earlier, on 4 June 1989, elections had taken place in Poland and the communist government had already been deposed.
Moscow's abandonment of the Brezhnev Doctrine allowed the rise of popular upheavals in Eastern Europe throughout 1989, in which Communism was overthrown. By the end of 1989, revolts had spread from one Eastern European capital to another, ousting the regimes built in Eastern Europe after World War II. Except in Romania, the popular upheavals against the pro-Soviet regimes were all peaceful (see Revolutions of 1989). The loosening of Soviet hegemony over Eastern Europe effectively ended the Cold War, and for this, Gorbachev was awarded the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in Gold in 1989 and the Nobel Peace Prize on 15 October 1990.
