Gorbi regrets...
"Would you like to be still in command of Russia?"- a student asked. "No", he answered, "my time is over". His biggest regret was not having been able to stop the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
At the end of Gorbi's time, on March 17, 1991, 78% of all voters voted for the retention of the Soviet Union in a reformed form in a Union-wide referendum. The Baltics, Armenia, Georgia and Moldova boycotted the referendum. The rest is history...first the Baltics, then Hungary, Poland...and the Soviet Union died. However, the "old times were better" mentality still remains in today's Russia (same with a whole generation of Serbs who think melancholically about Yugoslavia). I kind of smell that melancholy on Mr. Gorbachev.
Gorbachov said something paradoxical...thanks to the Soviet Union the European Union is what it is today!!! otherwise the EU would be composed of only 8 to 10 members. Well, thanks Russia for letting Poles, Hungarians et al join us!
Cpacibo Gorbi, it was a pleasure having you at school despite the ridiculous strategies needed to get a ticket for an event in MY school. You called Reagan "dinosaur" the first time you met him...he called you Bolshevik. That is what you are: an octogenarian Bolshevik.
