| Summary | A gloomy but informative discussion of the shape post-Soviet society has taken and may be expected to take in the future. DR: "My feeling about Reagan is that he played an incredible, somewhat instinctual role, a somewhat political and very hard- headed role in the collapse of the Soviet Union." ... "There is a lot of disenchantment among the people who were in the forefront in the late Eighties or early Nineties. People who ... saw Dostoyevsky scholars liberating Russia from its enslavement, all of a sudden found themselves poor and ignored and irrelevant.... What was needed in society were not saints, scholars, and truth-tellers, but accountants, traders, whatever is needed to build a capitalist nation." |
