“One of the most famous enemies of Soviet communism is Vladimir Bukovsky. He was tortured by Soviet authorities and spent many years in Soviet prisons. He was even declared “insane” and sent to a psychiatric prison. When Bukovsky was exiled to the West, people paid lip service to his courage; but few heeded his warnings about Gorbachev’s Perestroika. Bukovsky reminded everyone that all Soviet leaders were liars. Gorbachev, he said, was no exception—and was certainly no democrat. Like Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev, Gorbachev was a liar and a hangman. But hardly anyone listened. Everyone wanted to believe the Cold War was over.” CommunismGorbachevPerestroikaKhrushchevBukovsky Author:J.R.Nyquist
“It’s hard to understand all the nuances of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin years. It seems clear that Gorbachev and Yeltsin were both communists who were following a plan. We know that defectors warned of a plan.” GorbachevYeltsin Author:J.R.Nyquist
