In a changing world

“I could then think that I would live a life that has covered most of the 20th century, with a significant increase in the twenty -first, that these years will have events that have changed our country and the world that our generation and me personally will be recognized in recognition. Is there an important role to play? Of course not. But so the story ordered and so my fate has developed. Memory constantly returns me by the years of perestroika. What was the main thing in those years? I have no doubt: publicity, freedom, the cessation of the Cold War. What was achieved was the result of the efforts of many people. In this book, I want to tell about these people, give their portraits against the backdrop of historical events of those years. " M.S. Gorbachev

The new book of Mikhail Gorbachev is not just a book of memories, this is a reflection book, an analysis book. The first president of the USSR and the father of perestroika reflects on the key events of the history of our country and the whole world. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev is, first of all, the time of the Cold War, which at any moment could develop into a nuclear disaster. Despite the ambiguous assessment of his policy, Gorbachev became the politician who made incredible efforts to avoid this disaster.
