bush and mikhail gorbachev and then goes all the way to the end of december. the 21st of december for teaching. on the 21st of december, a timeline they decided there is no soviet union anymore. and when i came to the university of alberta if they asked me to teach this summer crisis. at that time i was working on the 17th century history. i said i can't do that. the answer was the students want that. coming from the soviet union i thought the professor would be what they want, not with studio wants it. i certainly changed my view on that. so i decided okay, i will teach under the crisis, but i knew nothing about economics. let's teach about democracy in moscow. so i'm coming from ukraine. but i know my perspective is very different. this is about national identity. now who is interested in nations? this is not important. i said well that's the only course i can teach. so i prevailed by the time the soviet union disintegrated. not exactly because of democracy. mostly because of national mobilization in the republics, including russia. so when i revisited liter

mikhail gorbachev and ronald reagan who were the most interesting characters of the 20th century. and beside the story line and setting, the ups and downs and emotions and ins and outs and beside the two characters who are fabulous is the consequence. 48 hours that ended the cold war. >> let's get to reykjavik in a second and i would love to allow people to hear the stories you have from that weekend. but this is a memoir and journalistic summary of this and the end of the cold war. when you worked in the reagan whitehouse and were at the reykjavik summit in a primary role, did you believe or anticipate you would want to write a book? keep a diary? consult any notes from that time? >> guest: no, and it was stupid. it was the most important part of my life and i chased down wonderful documents in reykjavik, at the reagan library and washington, d.c. and everywhere else. i found after the book went to press that i had in my files because we were moving, a letter that ronald reagan wrote me about reykjavik and saying the nice job i had done on that. and that is not in the book. so th

mikhail beketov. >> [speaking russian]. >> he was a towering figure before the attack. and he had been long at odds with the local administration. he would not relent. and he paid the most severe price. >> the government will not follow-up and investigate these terrible crimes against journalists and so for years these crimes go uninvestigated and unpunished. >> [speaking russian]. >> vladimir putin is an ex-kgb officer, so there's a whole kind of shadowy world of these operatives, some of whom-- many of whom are now linked into business, some of whom have links with organized crime. uhm. so if you want to do a business deal, or you want to take someone out, you have access to people who can do it for you. >> moscow police are investigating a brutal attack on a correspondent with russia's kommersant newspaper. oleg kashin was fiercely beaten near his home and is now in.. >> [speaking russian]. >> mr. kashin currently in a very critical condition in- in an induced coma. >> one video from a cctv camera which actually captured the attack itself leaked into the internet on

have felt ronald reagan must have felt this is more like me than at any time in my presidency and mikhail gorbachev must have thought this is more like me than any time than my time as general secretary. michael reagan ronald reagan's son said you get the real inside and to my dad from this book. why? because other of books say he did this on this day and they don't show his mind at work. this shows his mind at work minute by minute and his character in play. >> host: these notes from the summit in addition to the other documents that he consulted with where are they and what do you find the archival materials? is it available to the general public if they want to look at the stuff? >> guest: some of it is that the reagan library. some of it has been put on line. some is it reykjavik and it's been scattered around. the more i looked out at the more wonderful story what made this such a wonderful story is first of all the story. this is a weekend, a stormy weekend in october. there was rand lashing at the windowsill in a creaky old house in the middle of nowhere in a desolate spot in the d

countries took place mainly under republican presidents i mean we get a flu shot friend dwight eisenhower mikhail gorbachev and ronald reagan even putin and bush how do you explain that initial hawkish ness of the republicans and the of their ability to work with the russians once they come into office well it is a consistent pattern and i would say it reflects the more realist power based view of the world that the republicans have that they prefer to see the world in terms of competing power blocs especially military power and so they're comfortable dealing with a strong russia were as the democrats tend to allow more ideology into the picture they tend to see foreign policy more as a projection of their own domestic political values so they want they want to cooperate with countries that are. going to be friendly towards the united states and share their humanitarian values as as they see it so i think there's always that. tension. which seems to work as you say time after time to kind of weaken or undermine the relationships even between clinton and yeltsin which was a strong relationship but

ukraine boils down to a february one thousand nine hundred ninety promise bade by james baker to mikhail gorbachev the no that nato would not expand one inch eastward if gorbachev assisted in the peaceful unification of ukraine the west broke that promise specifically bill clinton broke their promise every time nato expanded russia russia and went ballistic so to speak and but they were ignored so long as they were weak will finally in two thousand and eight ok i'm sorry or just using the pretext of shelling walter finish your point come on a low fare guys finish your point walter oh you use use using the pretext of shelling in georgia the russia invaded and lopped off pieces of georgia and essentially it was a smack across the face of the united states and nato saying you're not going to expand nato any further and the same thing as happened in ukraine when when the when the coup changed the government from a somewhat pro russian leader unit code which to the to the coup regime. this russia did exist made sure it secured its black sea fleet by. making allowing a referendum to take place

. >> he understood the pressures on mikhail gorbachev, both culturally, from members of his party andbers of the communist party, and that he had to work as president of the united states to allow these changes to take place in a way that did not make gorbachev feel like he was losing, and i think that's one of the great talents and arts that george bush displayed as president of the united states. >> both sides committed themselves instead to achieving a strong effective treaty. >> democracy had prevailed. nato had prevailed. the united states values had prevailed. this was a time when any normal average person would have gloated and said we did it, we're number one, we're this, we're that. but president bush did not do that. >> i remember at the time recalling something that churchill wrote. he wrote it becoming prime minister, he felt at the moment he became prime minister that all his life had been a preparation for that moment. i think as the soviet union trembled on the brink of collapsing, george bush's experience, george bush's background, george bush's nature, george bush's i

president reagan 27 years ago today, in fact, made the famous statement that the soviet union's mikhail gorbachev should tear down the berlin wall. it was president reagan's successor, george h.w. bush, who actually saw it done and brought an end to the cold war. he also removed a brutal dictator in panama, and he gathered the whole world, with the united states in the lead, to remove saddam hussein and turn back the invasion in kuwait. and at home at a time of divided government which at the time one party was in control of the congress and one party in control of the executive branch, as we have now to a certain extent divided government, he showed how you can work together, how a president can reach across the aisle to get things done, and he did so. but of all the things he's accomplished, there is probably nothing that he's prouder of than his call to volunteerism. he championed this as president, of course, and established the points of light foundation, which has been enormously successful in getting americans, all walks of life more engaged in helping their fellow citizens. he i
