Дорогие соотечественники! Нас здесь так много, что я уверен -- кроме меня есть другие заинтересованные в темах, которые поднял С.Е. в "Сути времени". Отмечайтесь здесь, будем знакомы. Я в Лондоне.

Sir,
Has anybody else wondered why Mr Gorbachev who now lives in Germany has decided to celebrate his 80th birthday at the
Royal Albert Hall with what seems a cynical charitable fund raising attachment to his event. This would be equivalent of
Margaret Thatcher celebrating her birthday in Moscow's Bolshoy Theatre.
After splitting up the Soviet Union with his "perestroika" he plunged the countries into chaos and decline. Strife,
hardship,
corruption, unemployment, civil conflicts wide spread and prolonged global instability. This is the legacy most people in
former Soviet Union remember him for.
Some politicians credit him with bringing in democracy and freedom to these countries and a peaceful ending of the Cold
War, but I think all these assets could be gained without the break up of the Soviet Union.

The Telegraph 07/05/2008
" Mikhail Gorbachev still fighting time and remains one of the few world leaders who could make the world spin faster on its
axis" - Faster but not safer (we all need our seat belts on) I would add.
