...young Russian named Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Apparently the two kept in touch, and Gorbachev was intrigued with what his former roommate was doing to reform communism in Prague. Gorbachev later said that Dubcek's reforms served as the main ideological pillars for his perestroika. When Gorbachev's spokesman Gennady Gerasimov was asked at a press conference in 1989 what the difference between the Prague Spring and perestroika were, his reply was "20 years...
...purge touched off an unseemly political tug-of-war between the Kremlin and Moscow's city hall. Sergei Gerasimov, the prosecutor appointed to take Ponomaryov's place, quickly resigned. In Parliament Yeltsin's opponents pushed through a lopsided vote of no confidence in Interior Minister Victor Yerin, who is in effect the national chief of police. Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, once a strong Yeltsin ally, fumed that only "criminals and bandits" would be in favor of firing senior police officials. Then he threatened to resign...
...nation that brought democracy to Japan and still guarantees its defense, those are not only ungracious sentiments but fighting words. They seem to confirm the implications of occasional opinion surveys that reflect a new degree of threat both countries sense in each other.

Newspapers in Eastern Europe lamented Thatcher because of her unwavering stand against communism and her insistence on human rights. From Britain's partners in the 12-nation European Community, tributes...
...fear of being refused permission to return home. He was probably correct: four years later he was exiled from the Soviet Union. Soviet-born poet Joseph Brodsky was already in exile in New York City when he won the prize for literature in 1987. Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov thought it was "a good thing" that world attention would be focused on Russian poetry, but he was sour about Brodsky, who had been sentenced to a work camp in 1963 for the crime of "parasitism." "The tastes of the Nobel Committee are strange sometimes," said Gerasimov...
