Chpater ninth in 1991, chronicle of disaster foretold "
The title of the next two chapters is based on the book by the author Marquez (Chronicle of a Death Foretold). The parallel is clear: 1991 is the year of the coup.
The events begin with the growing problems in Vilnius in January, one of the first states that the independence required and expected for a formal resolution. At a solution for the preparation of a new union is developed, and does not workbecome clear that the States will report to the central Soviet Union. Yeltsin became president of the Russian Federation in June after the elections.
solve the two camps in the communist party in the conflict, if not to sign the new union, the Soviet Union completely. After long and difficult, Gorbachev decided to take a short break. It is now clear that Yeltsin will sign the agreement.
Because this holiday is expected, remains unclear. Gorbachevspent several months negotiating and change ...
E 'during his holidays in the Crim-resistant group (as part of the Emergency Committee) to visit his dacha Gorbachev to persuade him to sign ... Vice President of the average time a Soviet problem of "health" of the Russian television announced.
On the morning of August 19, 1991, the Soviet state television suddenly turned threatening and change plays classical music, a program that usually requires a significantpolitical ad. Soviet Vice President Gennady Yanayev issued a statement that President Mikhail Gorbachev had been removed for health reasons and was Vice President, was now Acting President. In fact, Gorbachev was under house arrest in his holiday home in Foros. Yanayev and seven other hard-line Communists, under the heading of the State Committee for the state of emergency, had the power to seize prevent a fundamental restructuring of the Soviet Union. (1)
In addition topublic sources on the Internet, described the coup d'etat (coup) in the book cites the red button interesting ... "After Gorbachev was returned to power, he called Bush to say that the second nuclear superpower under control ..."
The degree of complicity in the coup, Gorbachev remains a source of controversy. (1). When I read the biography, I'm just wondering why she had to leave one? He was always ready, but now the talk of a biographer VACATION. Well, it wasAugust, after all ...
Gorbachev comes after the coup, because the party does not support it.
Since then, everything has changed. It has been found (the world) that Gorbachev was not the role of the leader of the country is adapted. The coup in this sense, the explanation for the independence of individual states.
Gorbachev changed. He was indebted to his great political rival, Boris Yeltsin. All his faults had hurt his authority as leader. Change for Gorbachev as a "Leader ", had to accept that his changes had not been able to plan a gradual change (Pacific) and evolutionary.
Gorbachev insisted that Soviet society had profound changes tired. It 'was an honor, it was revealed at the recent history, "an honor that the game only for tall people." He rejected the classics of Marxism, that only violence can be the midwife (or "midwife", the translation fits better with the "high risk" could be the metaphor of birth) is taught
10. InShadow of his own statue
This is when "the life of the politician after the state is dead!" And Yeltsin, the new head of the new Russian state. This is when the evaluation takes place. Gorbachev travels the country as president, "Lear" and wonders what happened to his devastated country. It assessed the other of his presidency, he suffers from Raisa Grandeur? It 's just for a short time before they attack by sudden and fatal illness: leukemia. "She was surecontaminated by political and radiation from Chernobyl. "It 's only when Gorbachev remembers that his life is over ...
A shame that compassion triggered from all over the world.
11. Epilogue: the possibility of Gorbachev
But what life was over, he asked the journalists and historians. Since the matriochka, Russian dolls, her life was a combination of different roles: head of the regional secretary of the provincial party, the secretary general, president of the Soviet UnionRepublic ...
How do you rate this biography, for that is the wisdom of Ralph Emerson) no, but only biography history (as the book was born? We should be assessed in its intentions or results. And what were they? For some it is the talent, enthusiasm for history and trap "to capture its history. ... And they do not transfer, even if unintended consequences pop. Reiterates" For the first time in the history of this country, "he told a group of reporters: "Ihas sought to humanize civilian means. "
This personal evaluation is demonstrated by the biographer, that the intention of surprising ingenuity Gorbachev change in a country with democratic methods specified, if past examples of Peter the Great and the Bolshevik revolution, where anything other than human (Barbara was just a euphemism ).
... personal point of view of biography ...
At the beginning of the previous chapter and Mikhail personal statement, I think, to change,You need to show some ingenuity ... A realist can never bring about change.
Then, of course - most of the biography of the coup. I found no key secret or hidden, but I think after reading the story that the role of Gorbachev in the coup were not.
What I miss in the biography was a deeper analysis of economic and historical context. During the coup in 1991, the economy was almost bankrupt, of which the book is silent. HistorianContext, the lack of pressure and shows the conflict included the original (the Baltic and the Caucasus) countries during the First World War that a legacy of resistance to the Soviet paradigm represented.
After all, this book written by the Russia Gorbachev and demonstrates the internal setting of the book. This is good, but the downside is that many events are not entirely clear to an outsider.
Therefore, this first reading (and again) is not enough. There are only a smallImpression of the complex reality and change ...
