After the visit to Moscow (and Minsk) in 2007, I was fascinated by this country, its people, history, how could it be different if their stay in beautiful historic hotel Sovietsky? But a lot of understanding modern Russia? No, this biography can help those who want to learn more. It 'also by nature a look at change ...
After a brief introduction to the index and the main structure of the book is subsequently formed. It begins with a logical question of where he was born?
Before Countryand destiny.
The land title of this chapter is the symbol of change in many ways as is clear in reading the biography.
The biography begins with some rhetorical questions: "Why choose the fate of Stavropol David defeat Goliath of totalitarianism, because this man, who fitted so well into the Soviet system the most dangerous internal enemy of the regime, more dangerous than any other external enemies converted was that his intention to change and improveor even destroying save over?
These questions are not answered in this first chapter. Some answers appear only in the epilogue, the end of the book.
In the country and the destiny that we read about the background of modest Gorbachev, and especially its (the family) the collective experience of the agricultural sector, the state farms. Mikhail was perhaps the average, the common man, hard worker who knew the system like no other.
He went to study law in Moscow, where he met his futureThe woman, one of the most beautiful girls of the faculty.
Largely because of it, he develops a sense of the world outside the provincial world. City against country, and this dimension remains a matter of understanding the biography.
E 'during the time of Brezhnev (Khrushchev recently and proceedings before the nascent Andropov, who is still head of the KGB), and a man named Kulakov a young member of the Political Bureau for Agriculture, Mikhail, who discovered his "pupils . The lack ofLinks to this is the meaning of the Stavropol region, which is preferred by many. Much about his personality is not at this stage by others, many are impressed with the appearance of Gorbachev was nice.
The second last lap
"Patience and faith" is what Gorbachev learned from Andropov. This is another key to understanding the biography and what happened in the Soviet Union. Patience in change. "No events to come, Mikhail," is a section of this chapter. It 's justMikhail is the first Secretary General. After the death of Chernenko and after the sudden death of previous Kulakov. Gorbachev was chosen by the Politburo for his loyalty expressed ... and the end ... because "there were no other candidates," he had the consent of the people. (Interesting that there is a totalitarian state that this approval is important). In his speech, he vents about "dynamic" focus, has kept to the rites of the show time, but he has an invitation toVariation of words as the acceleration of economic progress.
A simple third welder?
"We want change." But what and how? It 'was the time of Reagan, who was seen as the great communicator, so it was clear that Gorbachev has found a real competitor in this area.
Gorbachev spoke of some initial expectations to change, but it was clear (both from the biography that, in fact) that there is no real plan. Other than the "so-called plan of 500 days show that we must dosomething, but the question was. What?
There is little attention to the economy in the biography, but the main problem was the inefficiency of the agricultural sector and their main organization of state and collective farms. "Energy prices and food provisioning was compromised.
It 's also the dry time of the law, a mistake in setting priorities and managing Gorbachev.
Meanwhile, Gorbachev and the opening image of Russia to the outside world.
Fourth Reconstruction ... ofWhat?
"We are in a hurry." was born in the XXVII Congress of the CPSU change on the program and word perestroika was to improve the search for an answer to the framework of socialism, not them. " The basic concept of perestroika was: more socialism and democracy.
Andrei Grachov could then writes: "Only with the right to catch the eye first so dissonancy ideology and dissidence." Socialism Gensec Discount in the Soviet Union developed "on"Developing countries", which could improve efficiency and make it even true (Even today, a modern concept).
Gorbachev, Lenin was a hero and a role model for change. But the way the question increasingly within the Politburo. Which type of socialism, socialism plural, social law, the socialist market economy, etc. .. Gorbachev was a means to power, but did not realize how associated with control.
Reform or Revolution? According to the wisdom of Solzhenitsyn, is a reform on fmand is a revolution from below "."
At that time, Francois Mitterrand, was struck by the ideas, but asked rhetorically whether such a reform could be carried out practically. But Gorbachev had no fear of wisdom Lenin "chaos assisted." Gorbachev was doing its "October Revolution" changed the direction of his predecessors, who focused on the improvement of Bolshevism. But he always had more resistance to Yeltsin (who called Gorbachev a wet firecracker) and the same, thefurther supports the dogma and ideology that would stall any change.
