روسيا الجديدة : مذكرات ميخائيل جورباتشوف /
ولد كتابي الأخير ولادة عسيرة، وأعيدت كتابة صفحاته عدة مرات ؛ فقد أردت أن أتجاوز وصف الأحداث السياسية لأقدم للقارئ عرضا للتجارب والآمال والخيبات التي يخلفها الناس وراءهم، وبينها ما يخصني ويخص عائلتي وأصدقائي، وأن أنقل الأجواء التي عشناها خلال تلك السنوات، وقد توقعت بيقين أن يكون كتابي ذاك هو الأخير. يدور هذا الكتاب حول أهمية الماضي ؛ فإذا تأملت فيما حدث في روسيا في نهاية القرن الماضي وأوائل القرن الحالي، وما ينتظر روسيا في المستقبل، فلا مناص من أن تعود إلى سنوات البيريسترويكا، وإذ يفصلنا اليوم عقدان من الزمن عن تلك المرحلة، فقد يكون من المبكر إعطاء تقييم نهائي، ويقال : إن شو إن لاي ردَّ ذات يوم على الرئيس ريتشارد نيكسون الذي سأله عن تقييمه للثورة الفرنسية بقوله : \"ما زال الوقت مبكرا جدا لإطلاق حكم عليها\"، وربما كان محقا في ذلك، غير أن بوسعنا أن نشهد أمورا كثيرة بمزيد من الوضوح. العبيكان.

Conversations with Gorbachev
Mikhail Gorbachev and Zdenek Mlynar were friends for half a century, since they first crossed paths as students in 1950. Although one was a Russian and the other a Czech, they were both ardent supporters of communism and socialism. One took part in laying the groundwork for and carrying out the Prague spring; the other opened a new political era in Soviet world politics.
In 1993 they decided that their conversations might be of interest to others and so they began to tape-record them. This book is the product of that \"thinking out loud\" process. It is an absorbing record of two friends trying to explain to one another their views on the problems and events that determined their destinies. From reminiscences of their starry-eyed university days to reflections on the use of force to \"save socialism\" to contemplation of the end of the cold war, here is a far more candid picture of Gorbachev than we have ever seen before.

في هذا الكتاب يتحدث جورباتشوف-كما لم يتحدث من قبل-عن تجربة حياته كاملة، فقد أعطى مساحة لحياته مع زوجته التي أحبها بجنون، ولكن نظرا لأن جورباتشوف شخصية ظهرت للحياة من خلال السياسة وعبر قيادته لإحدى القوتيين العظميين في عالم ما بعد الحرب العالمية الثانية وعصر الحرب الباردة : فقد أعطى المساحة الأكبر لحياته السياسية.

A Democracy of Despots
A Democracy of Despots is a history of Soviet and Russian experiments with democratic institutions from 1988 to 1995. Based on eye-witness accounts and in-depth interviews with most of the political leaders in this drama, it tells the story of the men and women who began an experiment in euphoria only to find themselves at war with one another five years later. Arguing that Gorbachev and Yeltsin used the democratic institutions they created to crush political opponents and increase their own personal power, Murray concludes that the rise of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and the war in Chechnya are not aberrations on Russia's road to democracy but the logical extension and consequence of Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's despotism.

The Last Superpower Summits. Gorbachev, Reagan, and Bush. Conversations that Ended the Cold War
This book publishes for the first time in print every word the American and Soviet leaders – Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George H.W. Bush – said to each other in their superpower summits from 1985 to 1991. Obtained by the authors through the Freedom of Information Act in the U.S., from the Gorbachev Foundation and the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and from the personal donation of Anatoly Chernyaev, these previously Top Secret verbatim transcripts combine with key declassified preparatory and after-action documents from both sides to create a unique interactive documentary record of these historic highest-level talks – the conversations that ended the Cold War.The summits fueled a process of learning on both sides, as the authors argue in contextual essays on each summit and detailed headnotes on each document. Geneva 1985 and Reykjavik 1986 reduced Moscow’s sense of threat and unleashed Reagan’s inner abolitionist. Malta 1989 and Washington 1990 helped dampen any superpower sparks that might have flown in a time of revolutionary change in Eastern Europe, set off by Gorbachev and by Eastern Europeans (Solidarity, dissidents, reform Communists). The high level and scope of the dialogue between these world leaders was unprecedented, and is likely never to be repeated.

Correspondence: NATO Non-expansion and German Reunification
In \"Deal or No Deal,\" Joshua Itzkowitz Shifrinson sheds new light on an important case. At the article's core is a clear historical question: Did U.S. leaders offer to limit NATO expansion in 1990? Shifrinson provides substantial evidence that they did, proposing a quid pro quo that convinced Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to accept German reunification within NATO. The article frames its modern relevance by conflict that historical question with distinct causal and moral questions, however, distorting its contribution and undermining its policy recommendations.
