New Russia - Memoirs of Mikhail Gorbachev

Russia the New - Memoirs of Mikhail Gorbachev authored by: Mikhail Gorbachev translated into Arabic by: Fayez Al-Sabagh binding: cover parts: one paper: Shamoah size: 14 × 21 overview: My last book was born with difficulty, and its pages were rewritten several times; I wanted to go beyond describing political events to present to the reader an account of experiences, hopes, and disappointments that people leave behind, including what concerns me and my family and friends, and to convey the atmosphere we lived through during those years. I was certain that my book would be the last. This book revolves around the importance of the past; if you reflect on what happened in Russia at the end of the last century and the beginning of the current century, and what awaits Russia in the future, there is no choice but to go back to the years of perestroika, and since two decades separate us from that phase, it may be premature to give a final evaluation. It is said that Zhou Enlai once responded to President Richard Nixon, who asked him about his assessment of the French Revolution, by saying: "It's still too early to judge it," and he might have been right. However, we can observe many things more clearly. Al-Obeikan_2017
