in one critical moment of 191990 mikhail gorbachev says to barrack, well, maybe we'd like to join nato. think about that. three months before we're in the height of the cold war. we want to join nato, too, and baker has an interesting response. he doesn't really give but but he also doesn't say in because the idea of a -- maybe the russians too, doesn't seem unreasonable left open. let's not foreclose the option but keep did going. george bush had a fundamental vision of what he wanted the world to look like in a post-cold war world, i argue, maced to keep those chaotic moments from slipping into actual have i lens hand did not have the power to fire upon civilians across the seas but he knew he power to make sure he didn't order it which he exer size and he also wanted to make sure that the united states maintained its primary position in the world at the end of the cold war. in fact, you could argue that the entire strategic vision for europe and the entire strategic vision for the entire post-cold war world was bush's, those say a place that we see laid out in subsequent chapters, n

when that glorious day happens and mikhail gorbachev said, yes, us, too.exactly the mission that we want. now here is where george bush comes back in. because the situation i just described to you which we look back on now and know how it turned out, we know it turned out peacefully, that gorbachev led to the demise of the soviet union and everybody since has said ronald reagan is responsible. we understand all these stories. the situation i described to you is remarkably perhaps unprecedentedly dangerous because the collapse of the soviet union and of european communism is fundamentally and at its heart nothing less than the collapse of an empire. the soviets had a political, ideological system which ruled and imposed their will upon them. it had global influence and global reach. throughout history i challenge you to find another case of a major international empire declining and collapsing without an ensuing great power war. in fact, i challenge you -- i know this one is true. you can't find another case with 20,000 nuclear weapons running around. as we

and so once mikhail gorbachev thatcher famously tells ronald reagan this is someone we can do business with. sort of the social reformer. mikhail gorbachev, the man who comes into power when the soviet union has dismal economic numbers, mass cultural and social decline, a war in afghanistan raging, right, which the americans are making extraordinarily difficult on the soviets. he has to do something about the condition of the soviet union. and so his goal is to write, implement these policies to try and emphasize more consumer goods over military spending. but in order to do that he's got to have an easing of tensions with the united states. he's got to have an easing of tensions with the united states. another thing pushing gorbachev in this direction, of course, is the decline of oil prices. the soviet union had sort of rode the oil high but oil prices had declined dramatically forcing the soviet union because of their loss of revenues to come to the table. and so reagan and gorbachev decide to meet at geneva in 1985. and like i tell my students not a great deal was accomplished at g

russia's health minister, mikhail marashko, is also on the list for allegedly covering up navalny's poisoning suspected nerve agent last year and then hindering efforts to evacuate the opposition leader to germany for treatment. the russian health ministry has not yet responded to our requests for comment. last week tens of thousands of russians protested after alexei navalny was detained on his arrival back in russia having recovered in berlin from that poisoning. a big security operation is now under way for what could be another wave of demonstrations across russia. matthew chance, cnn, moscow. >> jill doherty is adjunct professional at george washington university and a wilson center fellow. she's also cnn's former moscow bureau chief. jill, always good to see you. so more demonstrations getting started. what impact do you think they are having in terms of pressure on vladimir putin? >> you know, i think basically they're -- navalny is trying to consolidate his base, which is still a minority. so i think it is motivating people to come out. it will be very, very difficult with the center

the first is the most dominant, and that is mikhail gorbachev. his he deserves most of the credit with his ideas of glass knows. and he undermined the communist party, and the soviet system. and in doing so he destroyed the fabric that held the soviet union and it satellites together so basically control of that fog and it's probably the largest school of thought. so within this school of thought reagan is very given very little credit for the end of the cold war. and there is another school of thought that says that ronald reagan actually prolong the cold war. and he prolonged it because his sort of fiery rhetoric, was made it more difficult for someone like gorbachev, to enact his reforms in the soviet union. and the third school, this is mainly made up of conservative historians who claimed that ronald reagan, one of the cold war by forcing the soviet union into bankruptcy. because their military buildup, the united states put pressure on the soviets, and they could keep up and as a result it ended up in reforms, and those reforms and in the s

indeed, even under mikhail gorbachev. i try to present these not so much as an interregnum, but as a fairly consistent application of a pretty key tenet in the soviet approach to policy, which is to reduce tensions, reduce cold war tensions in order to create breathing space for moscow, in order to actually compete more effectively against the united states. let me say again, thank you to everyone in the audience for coming. thank you to everyone for organizing this. i'm really looking forward to talking about this book. >> great. thanks, simon. as mentioned, we have two distinguished, wonderful commentators with us today to start the conversation, elizabeth c. charles and mary sarotte. dr. charles is a historian in the office of the historian at the u.s. state department, researching and compiling the formulations of the united states series. she completed the reagan administration formulations volumes on the soviet union, 1983 to 85 and 1985 to 86, and the intermediate nuclear range forces treaty. she is now working on
