and russia but what did you see i mean were the russians expecting too much from the west or the west just thought well that you know the cold war is over we won i mean you know they'll find their way on the i.m.f. you know you have a liberal economic system and everything will just be dissed jim dandy but we know it wasn't i mean what were the perceptions and misperceptions during your tenure here. well there were a lot of those perceptions i want to say first that i agree with alex that that yeltsin change in the west changed but i would also say that that russia changed i think the west expected a kind of a breakthrough due to a larger version of maybe what pollard in the czech republic is today and that simply was never in retrospect going to be the case secondly the west i think it's important to recall the rest championed the one nine hundred ninety three constitutional reforms that gave a much stronger presidency to yeltsin then have existed before and as a consequence to some extent we better that what we now criticize as a super thought super presidential regime but i want to

a partner of the west and that we just wasn't simply in braced i think he wanted to be able the west and i think it's very unfortunate what happened there was a lot of misstep but you need this you know moment and sort of move in in russia. and america and some of the europeans just didn't recognize that moment and some were more me they didn't believe it and when they finally believe that russia started to set in the you know the moment and still when you know but i don't think he said anything i mean all of germany we look at the one thousand nine hundred six presidential election i mean it was amazingly fraudulent but everybody in the west wanted to ignore all of the fraud he won he won reelection ok we don't know exactly i mean i haven't gone back on the empirical evidence myself but i mean just supporting him and not what he was trying to do the democratization of this country its economic reforms they just wanted to base everything on yeltsin hoping that he would do the right thing what do you think about that alex not a systemic change but it on a person. you know well first o

and we desperately need that trade with west germany because west germany produces our best technical goods. khrushchev was aghast. he did not know how dependent eastern europe was on west german trade. he recognized that it couldn't be approved. indeed, the warsaw pact nations universally disapproved it. but they did say one thing to him. they said, okay, we understand you have to cut what he called the flight from the fatherland. so, please -- excuse me. the flight from the republic. so you can do that, but you cannot do anything else. khrushchev pointed his finger and said, not one millimeter more. he was to hold his fire on anything beyond the cutting the refugee. in berlin we met all the time. i was working in the eastern section. we were trying to figure out what the gdr was going to do. we met with cia. we met with army intelligence. we tried very hard to figure out. we knew they had to do something. it was obvious they had to do something. the question was whether they would divide berlin or build a circle around berlin and prevent people from coming in to east germany and wes
