the soviet union was under gorbachev. and it resembles to some extent what life was like under the breaking the breaking up period. the only difference is that russians can still with difficulty leave russia. he really has a dismantle most of that. and primarily is how bent on subjugating ukraine on, reabsorbed in ukraine into rush or into some kind of a slavic federation. so he is deliberately progressing, in essence, the collapse of the soviet union. he said that the collapse of the soviet union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe. and he's determined to reverse that, whether he can do it, i don't know, but it's certainly the direct opposite of everything that gorbachev set in motion. and mr. tell me, do you see? then the invasion of ukraine is this vladimir putin's remedy to the disaster that occurred during gorbachev swatch. well, putin, obviously think, so i don't think so myself because it's hard to characterize a bloodbath with all kinds of horrendous consequences as a, as a remedy of. but he said this is put

he wanted to reform the soviet union. but in the end, of course, that led to the soviet union's collapse. but this is something where bab abbas was very clear. this is something that cannot be forgotten and it is something all germans understand without michelle garbage of german reunification wouldn't have been possible. it's this is just a fact and the fact that it became a peaceful process is also attributed to him. this was not a collapse where some violent force went in and essentially said this is it. the wall came down peacefully. it was brought down by the people. and this was because of that special atmosphere where you had a leader in the soviet union called mikhail gorbachev. that created that atmosphere and that gave the people the confidence that it could be done. i think for some of our younger viewers, it must be difficult to imagine what the time was like the time of glass norsen perestroika. these terms that shaped our, our discourse back at the end of the eighty's when they were leading up to the berlin

he allowed, or the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. it did not use massive force for keep eastern europe ah, in the empire. and with that, he deserves credit. but it is not that this was sung came in, trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform. gorbachev used perestroika all restructuring to reform, a stagnant economy that had seen people shorter food and consumer goose. and he use glass knolls, openness and freedom of speech that led to parts of the eastern block wising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after the other broke away anglo merkel, former german chancellor spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany with expectation the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary, wasn't long before the pearlin hall came down yet now 30 years old with rushes. invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further east west conflict, sullen a horse lunt, unstable to president putin. russia, and it's president of digging new trenches in europe, and has started a horrible war in ukraine. it

he allowed for the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. he did not use massive force to keep eastern europe in the empire, and for that, he deserves credit. but it is not that this was someone who came in trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform it. reporter: gorbachev used perestroika, or restructuring, to reform a stagnant economy that had seen people short of food and consumer goods and he used glasnost, openness and freedom of speech, that led to parts of the eastern bloc rising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after the other broke away. angela merkel, former german chancellor, spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany, of expectation that the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary, wasn't long before the berlin wall came down. yet now, 30 years on with the russians invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further , east-west conflict. >> russia and its president are digging new trenches in europe , and have started a horrible war in ukraine. it's now we think of mik

soviet union. and i wonder now, looking back, whether you feel that was a good thing or whether, like vladimir putin, you feel, well, as he says, that it was a catastrophic event, the most catastrophic event of the 20th century. yes. see, what followed you... what followed you were years of economic chaos and political chaos. vladimir putin's message to the russian people today is that the chaos that came after the soviet union was deeply damaging to the interests of the russian public and that he, vladimir putin, is going to restore a sense of pride, status and power to greater russia, and, to many people outside of russia, it sounds and feels like a return to the mentality of the soviet union. people in russia still say that today. there are politicians in russia today who want to put you on trial for treachery. they call you a traitor and they do believe that vladimir putin is going to restore russia's pride by, in essence, rebuilding a latter—day soviet empire. but to be clear... but to be cl

and the soviet union to do our and shows the way to has to agree. unfortunately, they did. 5 0, with ah a dead di working inside crumbling walls. you heard the sounds of men full of history which was going at that tongue settle with the world and changing a world bakersfield, the personality of garbage for me. gorbachev was a man no veil. let me say he is not religious, but internally is driven by christian morality. and whenever a jewel sink about the decisions are very hard decisions like he had to pick. i thing that this course, this campus was always prompting him the decisions. i also think gorbachev was one of the great heroes of the 20th century, in the sense that he wanted to reduce the tensions and tempo of the cold war. and when things did become difficult and began to fall apart, he could have unleashed war. and he did, and i think he deserves great credit for that. main concern 8990 was all the time to go so that was his problem. his car deal so was union was not so easy for him. he was not absolutely free and what to do was philip bulle

his 1st speech as leader of the soviet union. it was clear he was a stark contrast to his predecessors one year we had for you as the war to write. i live in peace and freedom as the most am hoffman basic right of each individual for our kilobit. gorbachev wanted to change the soviet union to bring it closer to the people. he promoted glass, nest openness and perestroika reforms to words that will forever be associated with hen. his new outlook was popular with many his policies also applied to the military. despite the resistance of soviet generals issued to us. here we are, voters, all, unless i'm convinced that we will also have to reform our military. we have far too many weapons, love, sickly. we have to seek dialogue with other superpowers and reduce our arsenals to a reasonable extent, yourself. as a result of that dialogue. gorbachev and you as president reagan find the 1st of many disarmament treaties in 1987. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war in october 1989 when he visited east berlin for the ged ars 40th

he, i was a believer in a better soviet union as possible. and marcia said, and that's something that for us in the west at the time, was very difficult to understand public. could you explain to us that the very nature of the relationship between po 10 and go by check. because somehow you get a sense that put in was always very cautious in choosing the right words to describe our qualify global have and go back to the same time was very cautious in his criticism addressed at put in i will go over. sure. bentley tried to kind of boot relationships with a portion of it does not very successful in bulletin, didn't want him anywhere close or in any position of influence of any sorts on that book in the old, his power to baris yeltsin, who picks him together with his aunt entourage as a successor and put in as basically continuing the yeltsin, russia as it was both under yeltsin and then it kind of. ready a girl who came in put good much off was a sworn enemies. they were with to yeltsin and put into miss some extent and her to that. and also rig

k. france and the soviet union. but also with the to germany and agreed the principal, they would be able to sort of determine their pathway if that lead to reification. and either a lot happened. or if there's controversy, i just like to mention about whether promises were made at those talks that subsequently unfold folded about, you know, whether nato should expand to the, not an h to the was the right. that was used. gorbachev had different things to say about whether he agreed to, you know, the, the plans for expansion. let me, let me turn to your, cuz you're setting off because that nato action is one of the reasons latimer pollution used to justify his warren ukraine. i want to come back to you yuri and, and ask you about vladimir putin, the current russian president and the departed mikhail gorbachev and how they got along and beyond that the, the nato expansion or what was the relationship like i want to describe the attitude of the ma gorbachev towards boot in his policy as a dramatic development and actua

the first human leader of the soviet union who like to have a walkabout the people, the first soviet leader to do that. and a man who travelled a lot around the world, presenting a much more humane face of the soviet union to the world. , . ., , the world. pretty much the only servin: the world. pretty much the only serving international— the world. pretty much the only serving international leader - the world. pretty much the only| serving international leader who people will recognise at the funeral todayis people will recognise at the funeral today is the prime minister of hungary viktor orban. he has good relationships with vladimir putin but is willing to go to moscow to pay respects to gorbachev. that shows the quite complicated relationship over the legacy full stop at his policies didn'tjust affect the soviet union but the entire socialist bloc and for hungary and poland and other countries under the soviet yoke, if you like, gorbachev did not prevent them breaking away and he allowed opposition to communism to continue. i guess that is what viktor orban will pay his respec

you know, i defended the soviet union to the last bullet. that's what i did. but i failed. now how did you you tell me to band the party as a criminal organization? i can't agree. if you do decide allow me to sign this degree. nobody knew suspending the communist party of russia. but he's a guy, a guy, but he's the guy. so yell to thank you. food. well, at least i have the russian federation with interest, declare independence from the soviet union for desert by f, who was a communist leader of the unit, which was cas expand once. she also that said, well, i'm going to be the president of russia. 3, i be the president transit started. this gang luca shrink of leaves. i'll grade, we'll do girlishly bol. avenger. cords were signed in 1991 by the leaders of belarus, russia the formerly dissolved the soviet union and established the c i s 6 months. and because of the formation of a community of independent states, i have decided to resign my duties as president of the soviet union. my principal's guide, my decision open, the trend to disintegration of the country alone has prev

oh, the soviet union's last leader mikhail gorbachev has been laid to rest in moscow. ah, hello, get adrian finnegan here in doha. this is al jazeera, also coming up a new life in a world destroyed pakistan's, devastating floods force. pregnant women and girls give birth in shelters. the big count on his began master's. most powerful walk it ever is on the launch pad for a 2nd attempt to head to the boons or bit clos, ah, tennis to serena williams loses in the 3rd round of the us open and what's expected to be, but must match if a korea russian backed officials and southern ukraine said that europe's largest nuclear power station was knocked off line by shelling on saturday. the report and electricity light inside this operational plant has been damaged. comes just after the visit of the head of the u. n. z nuclear watchdog to the facility. this could live that a key vouchers here as gabriel elizondo is the 1st one more to we know about these reports, game of the plant being taken offline. based on our calls and reporting here over the last several hours. we just don't

the last leader, the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev, has been laid to rest in moscow. gorbachev died on tuesday at the age of $91.00 after a long illness. in the past few minutes, gorbachev was buried at mosque was the whichever she cemetery next to his wife reisa earlier crowds lined up in moscow to see the former president lying in state in moscow's hall of columns. gorbachev has not been given a full states funeral of the type, usually held for former leaders. russian foot president vladimir putin is not attending, citing a full schedule. most western leaders also stayed away because of putin's invasion of an ukraine. we heard more on the funeral and gorbachev's legacy from our political correspondence, simon young and d. w correspondent, yours rossetto. i asked yury how russians were saying good bye to the last. so his leader, well, many who came to the downtown of moscow to say good bye to mister gorbachev. many there thought very highly of him, like a young woman victoria, our reporter has talked to, she said the w that had she praised to the 6 years under gorbachev as the best

we did this in the sixty's, it was a geopolitical thing between american soviet union. now this rocket, it has the european upper stage and when he goes back to the mood, some of the 1st dash knots will be from europe, from canada, from your japan. so this is now an international endeavor, not just one country versus another. and i think that's very important. and what sort of results says as this mission looking to find on the moon. this isn't, this really is a test mission. they're going to try everything. it's like a 5 or 6 week long trip around the moon and they'll do some different orbits for very close. we're going to test all the cameras, the sensors, the computers, the life support systems such that they know that the next time make why this, that it's safe to do so with humans on board. now when we're looking at the issue of technology and how advanced it's been, now how things have progressed since apollo? what makes this mission different to what happened previously? well, again, be back in the sixty's. we did things sort of in a race, certainly was a race. a

and when it suited american interests was prepared to cooperate with the soviet union. it was under his rule that you're a soviet diplomatic relations were established in 1933 franklin delano roosevelt is recognized by many in the american historical and academic and political ranks as one of the greatest for term presidents in history. the only president to ever, sir. 4 terms, in fact, for his work in resuscitating the united states after an economic depression that occurred after the fall of the stock market in the 19 twenty's. the big 3 is how the allied 2nd world war leaders were known. they had different personalities, were from very different backgrounds and had opposing views, each defended their own peoples and ruling class. his interests that miss donna, he, indigo. she stood the men chide, krista thank up as ne, in his books and on lot. so who has a ph d in history? so really analyzes the events of world war 2. as why our asked marlene the sheesh to the main check dash i enjoy has been place in creek thing dodge fund to start mench dunbar endangered for she th

and something even sold out the soviet union to the west. also there are some say that gorbachev is to blame for enabling nato's eastwood expansion. is there any accuracy in those allegations? do you think? you know, i think it's the same and politics worldwide. what have you done for me lately? and i think it's hard for, for russians today who are enjoying more freedoms, more religious freedoms, more prosperity for the, for the typical russian than they were enjoying 30 or 40 years ago under the, under the old system. they haven't experienced that recently. so it's kind of kind of easy, i think, to ignore where they are versus where they were, might have been, had not been any changes. but then again, you point out that the west has allowed the expansion or the talk of expansion of date, of encroaching on russia's borders. that has clearly been a flash point. that in my view, this administration didn't recognize, ignored or take her to the forces. and you claim that they were wanting to cater to and they have made a problem that they could

believing the cold war would end between the soviet union and the world. that romanticism was not justifd. there was no romantic time. anchor: for more on how the russian media is covering this, i spoke a little earlier. >> we have tributes pouringnto many countries outside of russia and it is a hhly different story today which i think is unsurprising. what president putin is doing is to unravel gorbachev's legacy. it is the dominant source of news for most russians. they have been saying, we are not going to attack gorbachev because this is the day of his death and that would be indecent. but there was thinly veiled criticism about how he plunged the country into economic and political chaos. he started the chain of events that led to the 1990's and that's a time when president putin spoke of something where russia never wants to return to. and much of president putin's idea of what he represents is taking russia out of the 1990's and restoring it to what he calls greatness. anchor: it's interesting how the relationship between the two men was strained at

union small states that were within the soviet union to take their own path and to move towards democracy and that then led to the collapse of the soviet union and to german unification. but that was not the only message that came out of the bonus act. today. this was also very much a clear signal to the kremlin. if you're not honoring your former leader, then we will exactly at one point bubble bus. the president of the german going to sock. she said that the gorbachev died alone in his own country. a rather sad image that she was using there. there was a very hard edge to her speech politically, diplomatically, it must be said drawing a contrast between gorbachev and the current leadership in russia. absolutely. topical speech absolutely. referring to today's events in the kremlin in moscow, babbar said putin has turned his back on everything that we have got a bunch of stood full so to that path towards democracy, towards openness. yeah, bab abbas kept stressing that gotcha was a man who am have believed in foreign leaders, capability of coming together and finding compromises. she str

the soviet union was represented by marshal of the soviet union, ju, call the allies by british and cheap martial tedder. it happened on may the eights, i $2243.00 european time. ah, in moscow, it was 12 43 am on may. the 9th july . the 17th 1945 the potsdam conference was there. i mir feature leash where you needed a bunch of torture computer video federal middle raymond, goodbye tried 3 competitive bill was me nina, but a trump artichoke go is meaning of put elf brought facia to pick a hold of curricular should. oh, button diamond chill, chill lost the general election in great britain. during the potsdam conference in july, churchill has voted out of office by the british people that had enough of churchill . and so that even though now he's revered is, is gray war. later, at the time, the british people were not quite enthusiastic about his leadership. churchill negotiated in potsdam for 9 days. the conference was concluded by new british prime minister clement at lee la laurence was just sitting in the stuff still had it thrown one shorter, comfortable mustard except come shy utah wi

soviet union. so we now know that hiss was was guilty. but a man who fought and to clear his name, to his dying day, he never admitted to his perjury. he never admitted to his guilt. and it divided the country for 50 years, for 50 years, half the country believed his innocence, that he was, a man of, the new deal, that he was in, the great liberal tradition. he had been one of the formulators of the united nations and the other half of the country believed he was a traitor a traitor to his class. and to his country. so a man of great controversy, david, why is it that he was able to convince half the country that he was innocent because he was part of the great eastern? and i and i think one of the things when we talked about it a little earlier is that both in your earlier book, time's betrayal and in gods deception, you talk the eastern establishment to a certain degree in gods of deception. you talking about the of those families that were at the core of making american history for example all t

it was dropped on the soviet union as a warning of what's going to have the soviets, if they interfered with america as post war plants. ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk ah, no, not that war with western shift is an issue generator west and people are not in waterways, russia. they don't feel like a interesting what to ease at war with rice, yet, even after she did the dishwasher, when i can let you wait, you shall ruin glass in our political. mm ah, on november the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended. the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 and select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. is the u. s s o was devastated by well, it either states last about 400000 people. had the brits last less than the americans did. and the soviets suffer 27000000 deaths. mm mm. 2700000

the 70s, the late seventies, were high point for the soviet union. the you, us was in terrible state, i think after after the combined setbacks of the being run out of southeast asia, soviet influence in africa and angola with through their cuban clients was growing . and then we moved into 19, we went through the carter period, which was a long period for ca. beyond that supposed low period, even the breakup of the soviet union in 1991, came out of the blue for langley. but most notably the see i couldn't predict and prevent 911. the intelligence community struggle throughout the nineties and up to $911.00. to collect intelligence on and analyze the phenomenon of trust, national terrorism, the combination of an overwhelming number of priorities for budgets. and now it's know, the structure and bureaucratic rivalries resulted in insufficient response to this new challenge. but surprise, surprise, the us intelligence said they found weapons of mass destruction in iraq. oops, deliberate or not. that was a mistake too. and moving on to the most recent p

he allowed, or the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. it did not use massive force for keep eastern europe ah, in the empire. and with that, he deserves credit, but it is not that this was sung came in trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform. gorbachev, used perestroika or restructuring to reform, a stagnant economy that had seen people shorter food and consumer goods. and he used glass moles, openness and freedom of speech that led to parts of the eastern bloc wising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after the other broke away anglo merkel, former german chancellor spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany with expectation the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary. wasn't long before the berlin wall came down yet now 30 years on with rushes invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further east west conflict, sullen a horse lunt, on step, also to president putin. russia and it's president digging new trenches in europe and have started a horrible war and ukraine. it's

exactly the same thing happened in the soviet union at a burg. it was called the the the bioweapons chernobyl in the bioweapons chernobyl. you go you can read the journal of the people that worked on it. they talked about having to kill stray dogs and how silly that was because all knew it was anthrax and killed like 11 or 1200 people. we'll never know how many because the soviet union at that time claimed it was just dead meat that someone had had bought. and then they tried the butchers. amazingly those were three of the elites by complaining did on bad meat and rogue illegal butchers that seems eerily familiar to a story that that two cities a couple of years ago it was the market story it was exactly wet market story about 40 years earlier and not particularly innovative but you read the actual accounts of the from in the in the journals that middlebury college has actually done. you can read the account of peter police, who's the virologist who studied and talk directly to the chinese doctors, admitted that it was they were developing a biow
