a square in front of a soviet embassy in washington source so many demonstrations and was named sachar of plaza kevin kerr washington. new york i decided to follow the footsteps of washington and renamed part of history next the russian. united nations mission where mission is a very middle part of a war that was renamed sucker of warner corner. as well in communist party has chosen nico gorbachev as his general secretary. in nineteen eighty five gorbachev started his policy of perestroika to bring down the iron curtain soon after supper of receive that famous call from gorbachev he told his seven year exile was over the stile yesterday when the abnormality of the situation became clear everyone
