we talked about the landscape that reagan walks into when it comes to the soviet union. the phrase he said allegedly or anecdotally, "they keep dying on me." three soviet premiers in his first term. the key is not just the fact that they are all very old and very sick but they are dyed in the wool, not just neo-stalinists, not just hard-core communists, but they are also tied or dedicated to mutually assured destruction. none of them are really willing, we are talking -- the start talks have begun. but there is no real push from the top to sign a treaty. gorbachev, however, is different. in what ways is he different? james? >> to start off, he is substantially younger. prof. tudda: 25-30 years younger than the other guys in the abous younger than the other guys in the why is that significant? if you know anything about soviet history, 20th century -- >> [indiscernible] prof. tudda: he was a child during world war ii as opposed to who? brezhnev who was in the army. he was a soldier. brezhnev and his cohort, these guys were in the 80's, lived through world war ii as an adul

he condemned the soviet union as an evil empire, working for the elimination of the soviet union and three weeks in advance, he was very much set to identify dialogue. the president expressed readiness to see problems we have with the soviet union as result so that reasonable solutions can be arrived at. he made it plain that he was talking about not simply words of good feeling. schulz reports, the reaction seemed that they were clearly impressed with this development. he was surprised that it happened. he said that it has been a historic occasion, whether we are talking about six years, it was quite possible to get things accomplished and we would get a drop off of the entire conversation. aspect is often overlooked, but it is a crucial aspect in 1983. hand, you bold rhetoric on the nation as an evil empire, and on the other hand, a readiness for dialogue and a readiness to intensify dialogue. the reagan white house was reluctant. it was very much a top-down approach. schulz was one of the few people who understood reagan and helped him implement this policy, starting in 1983. cruc

and the eastern zone was controlled by the soviet union. e western zones by the united states, great britain and france. but the capital of germany, berlin, was buried deep inside the soviet zone. and so when tensions between the united states and the soviet union became too great, the soviet union blockaded berlin. and so the question for harry truman was, what do we do? do we relinquish berlin? do we send in military forces, potentially starting world war iii? you know, what is our solution? that was to institute an air lift, providing supplies into berlin from the air. and once this got started, it turned out to be quite successful. and it really expanded. and at one point, on a daily basis, almost 600 -- 594 planes each day flew supplies into berlin to keep the city going. and they would not only air-lift in food and fuel. now, the air lift went on for well over a year, but the soviet union eventually backed down and reopened the access to berlin. this exhibit is about truman's decision to recognize the state of israel in june of 1948. c

as we did with the soviet union for all those years.to have to fight that war in the way to avoid the war as history has proven, is to have a capability that they see that's real and would impose costs on them and we would have the will to use it. and that's really what deterrent is all about. that's what we want. >> and north korea. what is a country to do as we see kim jong-un apparently preparing to bring back into action, at least one of his missile bases. we don't know whether it will be a missile or a rocket. reportedly civilian satellite launch. but right now that is what they are doing. >> yeah. well, i wouldn't make too much of it right now. obviously, it's been reported by private intelligence sources. obviously the united states government has the full story. kim jong-un, had to save some face because i think he blew it at the conference. he went in there with the same deal on the table with previous presidents and expected this president to take it when clearly the signs were that he was dealing with a very different preside

his summer residence was turned into a senatorial for farmers in the soviet union. the revolutionary soviet regime nationalized the palaces in crimea. under the auspices of the first workers and farmers state the russian riviera for a select few was to be turned into a holiday paradise for all. the new soviet man was seen as a collective entity the principle of working and living together extended to vacations as well. rest and relaxation in the interests of increasing production. millions of soviet citizens gratefully accepted the state sponsored holidays. people from every soviet republic came to vacation in crimea the peninsula was part of the soviet union whether it was russian or ukrainian was of no interest it just didn't matter. for many people here the fact that the soviet union ultimately collapsed on the divergence of its constituent parts is an accident of history a painful failure. think ashore in the genesis of a soap. people one that was no longer split up into separate nationalities but had something of a common identity was a concept repeated like a

and the first time i went back to the soviet union was in march one thousand nine hundred one. when there were demonstrations in the streets in the sky and it was rationed by three hundred thousand people people were talking but all the important things there was actually politics happening people were talking about what the relationship between the individual and the state should be people were talking about how the government and society should be constitutes. an era of huge change the soviet union was coming to an end russia was about to embark on a new era with new leadership. for journalists and i think a person there's nothing more exciting than being able to witness that up close. so i you know i was i was i was so drawn to that that i just wanted to stay and keep writing that story and for most of the ninety's i did for most of the ninety's i felt that every story i wrote was a new story no one had written before i mean that's that's an amazing thing for a journalist to experience. then after a tumultuous decade president yeltsin presented x. k.g.b. officer vladimir put

information came out of the old soviet union because you know, the gates fell down and the informationame out. there was a reporter in britain who dug through some of the information and found something incredible. he found evidence, paper. documentary evidence for those of you who like to talk about mr. muller. and that's the equivalent of the dna. for ten ted kennedy, contactine kgb and the kremlin to try to figure out, to defeat ronald reagan his reelection effort. not in "the new york times" ," d and, the documents are a memo, and it's available for anyone to see. they are thinking about running again, and he had contacted back channels the soviet government. they were trying to figure out kennedy and his people, how to defeat ronald reagan who was enormously popular. kennedy gave them some the idea that some could come to the united states. what the press do with that? we have real collusion there. the line of the senate. the man who they really wanted on the left, and in the media to be president of the united states, that are colluding to be communist soviet apparatchiks. there

bill went to the soviet union, former soviet union, soon after the collapse of the soviet union, fall of the wall. in relatively short order he became the largest foreign investor in the soviet union. his fund, hermitage fund, is the most successful foreign investment fund in world history. he had staggering rates of returns. he was managing over $4.5 billion in a huge variety of companies across the russian economy but as many of you might know, come 2005, he started to have problems, some issues, and sadly, one of the big cases they covered was a quarter billion dollar tax fraud case and we'll talk about it more tonight but his lead tax attorney, sergei magnitsky, unlike his other people, did not get out of russia in time. sadly, perhaps, he was imprisoned almost a year in horrible conditions under poor health and essentially sadly beaten and died -- and killed. the russians dispute that, they said it was a heart attack but now they're blaming bill for it, saying bill set up his killing. after all that, bill changed his whole outlook on life. he went from being a huge investment ban
