Podcasts about Glasnost

Dalla nascita alla dissoluzione, l'Unione Sovietica ha segnato la storia. Analizziamo la Guerra Fredda, la glasnost' e la perestrojka di Gorbacev.

Sovjetunionen var ett av de största imperier världen skådat, och det upplöstes nästan utan våld i december 1991. Ingen hade förutspått kollapsen, och alla förvånades över hur snabbt och relativt fredligt väldet föll samman.I dag lever vi i en värld där Ryssland, genom en storskalig invasion av Ukraina, försöker återupprätta det som landet förlorade vid kollapsen 1991. Och vi undrar fortfarande vad som egentligen hände för över trettio år sedan.I podcasten Historia Nu, avsnitt 25, samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Kristian Gerner, professor emeritus i historia vid Lunds universitet, som har skrivit boken Rysslands historia.Redan i början av 1960-talet hade tillväxten avstannat i Sovjetunionen. Tecken på stagnation och letargi hade funnits länge i det sovjetiska samhället, men efter Stalins död 1953 hade åtminstone den värsta terrorn mot den egna befolkningen upphört.Efter att en rad åldrande sovjetledare hade avlöst varandra som generalsekreterare på kort tid, tog den oväntat unge Michail Gorbatjov över makten i mars 1985. Han var kommunist, men efter erfarenheterna av kärnkraftsolyckan i Tjernobyl var han övertygad om att systemet måste förändras uppifrån. Gorbatjov ville dock reformera kommunismen, inte avskaffa den.Sovjetunionens invasion av Afghanistan 1979, tillsammans med den amerikanske presidenten Ronald Reagans "Stjärnornas krig"-initiativ, satte stark press på det redan genommilitariserade Sovjetunionen.Gorbatjov bytte åsiktsförtryck mot glasnost – öppenhet – och därmed försvann det kitt som höll samman imperiet. Glasnost öppnade för en explosiv samhällsdebatt, där både de stalinistiska och leninistiska rötterna granskades, kritiserades och förkastades. Kejsaren var naken.Samtidigt skulle den kommandoekonomi, som byggde på tung industri, förändras genom ekonomisk omstrukturering – perestrojka. Men resultatet blev livsmedelsbrist och inflation. Dessutom gjorde Gorbatjovs kampanjer mot det utbredda alkoholmissbruket honom impopulär.Bild: Affisch till fjärde kongressen 1922.

Heute vor 35 Jahren fiel die Mauer zwischen beiden deutschen Staaten. Sie fiel 1989 maßgeblich durch den Druck der ausreisewilligen DDR-Bürger in der Prager Botschaft. Darauf folgte die Deutsche Einheit durch Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl und dem letzten Generalsekretär des Zentralkomitees der KPdSU der Sowjetunion, Michail Sergejewitsch Gorbatschow.Gorbatschow, der letzte Staatspräsident der Sowjetunion, rief zu mehr Offenheit, Meinungsfreiheit und Umbau auf. Seine Worte Glasnost und Perestroika gingen um die Welt. Seine sinngemäße, nicht wortwörtlich belegte, Mahnung an den vorletzten Parteichef der Sozialistischen Einheitspartei Deutschlands, der SED, Erich Honecker, „Wer zu spät kommt, den bestraft das Leben“, wurde dennoch legendär.Diese Mahnung an Erich Honecker war auch eine Aufforderung, die schon Jahre zuvor von der kommunistischen Elite der UdSSR an Honecker gerichtet war, endlich die Grenze zu öffnen und Deutschland wieder zu vereinigen.Doch die Geschichte ist eine andere.Wie sich so oft in der politischen Geschichte der Menschheit die Wahrheit erst Jahrzehnte später den Weg in die Öffentlichkeit bahnt, so ist nach 35 Jahren das Märchen von einer friedlichen Revolution in der DDR ein Trugbild.Einmal mehr scheint die offizielle Version, die der Lernstoff in Schulen und der Weltgeschichte wurde, eine Verschwörungstheorie ungeheuren Ausmaßes zu sein, die nach 35 Jahren des Mauerfalls in Berlin seine Federn fallen lassen darf.Michael Wolski war Fachkraft in einem kaufmännischen Staatsunternehmen der DDR. Sein Posten machte ihn ungewollt und unvorbereitet zu einem Insider des Mauerfalls 1989. Dabei wurde er Augen- und Informationszeuge der Machenschaften rund um die sogenannte Wiedervereinigung von BRD und DDR.Das, was Wolski in diesem Gespräch äußert und darlegt, hat das Zeug für einen abendfüllenden Spielfilm. Wenn Sie, liebe Zuschauer dieses Gespräches, an die offizielle Geschichte der sogenannten Wiedervereinigung glauben, dann seien Sie an die Worte des US-Präsidenten Franklin D. Roosevelt erinnert, der sagte:„In der Politik passiert nichts zufällig. Wenn es doch passiert, war es so gewollt."Die sogenannte Wiedervereinigung, der Mauerfall 1989, hatten nichts mit Menschenrechten oder Bürgeraufständen zu tun. Und noch viel weniger war der Mauerfall 1989 die Wirkkraft eines Bürgeraufstandes.Selbst Gorbatschows Perestroika und Glasnost waren Jahre zuvor, bevor er dieses der kommunistischen Welt rund um die UdSSR verkündete, geplant.Nichts davon, was in den Geschichtsbüchern über den Mauerfall 1989 geschrieben steht, scheint auch nur annähernd der Wahrheit zu entsprechen, glaubt man den Worten, den eigenen Erfahrungen und Recherchen von Michael Wolski.Wolski recherchiert seit Jahren diesen Mauerfall 1989. Seine Homepage ist voller Quellennachweise aus seinen Büchern, die er dazu veröffentlichte.Wolski ist nicht der Einzige, der über den Mauerfall 1989 und den Niedergang des kommunistischen Imperiums der UdSSR Wundersames herausbekam und der Nachwelt diese mögliche Geschichtsfälschung präsentierte.Reinhard Otto Kranz schrieb einen zweibändigen Roman mit vielen Details zum Mauerfall 1989. „Operation Ljutsch, der geheime Schlüssel zur deutschen Einheit" heißt sein Roman.

In deze aflevering spreek ik Wouter Glaser – de man achter succesvolle bedrijven als Glasnost, Fitzgerald en Go Delphi.

Vor 25 Jahren, am 20. September 1999, starb Raissa Gorbatschowa in Münster. Die Bedeutung der Philosophieprofessorin für die Ideen von Perestroika und Glasnost sowie für die Entwicklung des „Neuen Denkens“ wird immer noch unterschätzt. Von Leo Ensel. Dieser Beitrag ist auch als Audio-Podcast verfügbar. Der neue jugendliche Held, der Mitte der AchtzigerjahreWeiterlesen

The fall of the Soviet wall and the opening of the iron curtain presented ample space for hope, optimism and opportunity for westerners eager to share culture, creativity, business and democracy concepts with the citizens of the former Soviet Union. David Junk leapt at the chance to work for Polygram/Universal Records in a country hungry for music and freedom. David's 15 years in Russia were a unique window of time between Gorbachov's Glasnost and Putin's re-consolidation of power. David stepped into a landscape that he called “the wild, wild, east,” teaming with gangsters and corruption and also talented, enterprising Russians, eager to explore new possibilities. David's journey is documented in his book, Rockin' The Kremlin which gives readers an inside look at boots-on-the-ground life and work in Russia from the perspective of a Russian speaking, idealistic American. David and his co-writer Fred Bronson join us for a fascinating dive into David's adventures… Contract negations with Polygram which included kidnapping insurance, Russian kids' obsession with hip hop, discovering and exporting Russian talent including two young girls called t.A.T.u. who kissed on The Tonight Show, wearing “F*** War” tee-shirts which they got past everyone because the words were written in Russian. David says that those tee-shirts are now being worn by kids in Ukraine. This window in time introduced a generation to a complex intersection of culture and politics which was ultimately snuffed by Putin's coalition with the Russian Orthodox Church and a renewed, vehement opposition to LGBTQ rights and individual expression. Ultimately, it was David's deep disappointment in colleagues' support for the invasion of Ukraine and concerns for his family's safety which brought him back to the states. But still, so much was learned and exchanged.All this, plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending The English Teacher on FX (streaming on Hulu) and the making of The Sopranos doc, Wiseguy on HBO Max.Path Points of Interest:Rocking The Kremlin: My Incredible, True Story Of Gangsters, Oligarchs, And Pop Stars In Putin's Russia by David Junk with Fred BronsonDavid Junk on FacebookDavid Junk on InstagramFred Bronson on TwitterArt During Wartime PodcastGift of Democracy The English Teacher FX and Huluhttps://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/english-teacherWiseguy - HBOhttps://www.hbo.com/movies/wise-guy-david-chase-and-the-sopranos

Marlov, der gerissene Privatdetektiv in der UdSSR, erlebt Anfang der 1990er Jahre den nächsten Wechsel an der Kreml-Spitze: ein gewisser Michail Gorbatschow führt plötzlich das Land. Und ehe Marlov sich versieht, soll er diskret eine Mordserie mit schier unglaublichen Opfer-Zahlen aufklären. Und zwar in seinem alten Heimatort in Sibirien. Aber nicht nur seine alten Bekannten erweisen sich als überraschend wenig kooperationsbereit. Auch sein Auftrag nimmt immer seltsamere Wendungen. Marlov wäre nicht Marlov, wenn ihm und seiner Luger nicht immer eine schlagkräftige Lösung einfiele. Doch reicht das für die unendlichen Weiten Sibiriens und den unerschöpflichen Vorrat an Problemen? | Von David Zane Mairowitz | Mit Udo Schenk, Christian Redl, Sylvester Groth u.a. | Regie: Jörg Schlüter | WDR 2021 | Mehr Krimi-Kicks unter https://1.ard.de/radiotatort

Following in the tradition of our episodes on Ukraine and Egypt, where we tried to find our way into national cinemas that are virtually inaccessible in the West (not to mention our other single-nation episodes on Poland, Brazil, Hong Kong, West Germany, Japan, Czechoslovakia and Mexico that focus more narrowly on a single movement or genre), we gathered up as many movies as we could find, read some academic articles, and then watched the six most promising Bulgarian movies from the ‘60s. Our intention, of course, is to give a taste of what the country has to offer, rather than a full overview. Plus, I mean gosh, appease all of those fans who have been lighting up our switchboard asking for Bulgarian ‘60s cinema…In this episode, the starting point was Binka Zhelyazkova, who was the first Bulgarian female director. She was also one of the very few women from behind the Iron Curtain, pre-Glasnost era, to have her films shown in the West. From there we spread out to other filmmakers whose works seemed to get written about most often and, crucially, can be seen today with decent prints and English subtitles. Though Bart & Jenna generally agree on the most noteworthy film and least noteworthy film of the episode, there's quite a bit of discussion in the merits of each. Dive in – none of these films require the kind of fortitude you might expect would be required to sit through little-known 60s art cinema from Bulgaria.The following films are discussed:• We Were Young (1961) А бяхме млади/A byahme mladi Directed by Binka Zhelyazkova Starring Dimitar Buynozov, Rumyana Karabelova, Lyudmila Cheshmedzhieva• The Inspector and the Night (1963) Инспекторът и нощта/Inspektorat i noshtta Directed by Rangel Vulchanov Starring Stars Georgi Kaloyanchev, Nevena Kokanova, Dimitar Panov• The Peach Thief (1964) Крадецът на праскови/Kradetzat na praskovi Directed by Vulo Radev Starring Nevena Kokanova, Rade Markovic, Mikhail Mikhaylov• Armourless Knight (1966) Рицар без броня/Ritzar bez bronya Directed by Borislav Sharaliev Starring Oleg Kovachev, Mariya Rusalieva, Apostol Karamitev• The Tied-Up Balloon (1967) Привързаният балон/Privarzaniyat balon Directed by Binka Zhelyazkova Starring Georgi Kaloyanchev, Grigor Vachkov, Ivan Bratanov• The White Room (1968) Бялата стая/Byalata staya Directed by Metodi Andonov Starring Apostol Karamitev, Elena Rainova, Dorotea Toncheva

Tilo offers an engaging and personal account of growing up in East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall. He begins by describing his early childhood in a rundown building in Prenzlauer Berg before moving to a new prefab neighbourhood in Lichtenberg. Tilo's grandfather on his mother's side was a  pastor in the Lutheran church and second in command to a Bishop at the end of his career. His grandfather on his father's side had been a teacher and had joined the Nazi party After the World War Two he was banned from working. Tilo's family faced educational and career limitations due to their religious and political background compounded by the pervasive influence of the Stasi and party loyalty in determining one's future. Tilo  also recounts experiences of attending school with a strong military and ideological indoctrination, including paramilitary training and pressure to join the National People's Army (NVA). Despite these challenges, he  describes a vibrant underground punk scene and moments of resistance against the regime. The story reflects on the significant socio-political changes during Tilo's adolescence, including the impact of Chernobyl, the introduction of Glasnost, and the unexpected persistence of Nazi elements in East German society.

The Soviet-Afghan War lasted ten years between 1979-1989 and led to the deaths of between 500k and 2m Afghan civilians. I speak with Nick Geering a Russian history and language teacher. From his memories of the haunting sight of uniformed amputees in St Petersburg to the complex origins of the conflict, we explore the intricacies of a war that was both an accident and a tragedy. Our conversation traverses the murky politics that led to the Soviet invasion, the unpreparedness of the conscript-heavy Soviet army, and the brutal reality of life for soldiers caught in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan. We also discuss the question of international support for the Mujahideen and the controversial impact of Western-supplied weaponry. The episode also shines a light on the deeply entrenched hierarchy within the Soviet military, harrowing drug abuse among troops, and the chilling treatment of prisoners of war on both sides. As we approach the subject of the Soviet withdrawal, we reflect on the war's enduring scars, the fate of the communist Afghan government, and how the conflict is remembered today in Russia.

As Americans opened their Christmas gifts 32 years ago, the beleaguered president of a superpower on the other side of the world endured a unique humiliation. Mikhail Gorbachev, whose open mind and magnetism had captivated Western publics after coming to power in 1985, announced his resignation as leader of the Soviet Union. The nation-state he had tried to reform into something better was swept into the dustbin of history. December 25, 1991: Gorbachev was gone; the country he led no longer existed. The moment was celebrated in the West. But if democracy and market economies were on the march as the curtain fell on the Cold War, their advance halted in Russia during the disastrous Yeltsin years of the 1990s. In this episode, historian Vladislav Zubok, who was born in Moscow in the 1950s and witnessed the rise and fall of perestroika and glasnost, takes on a provocative question: what if some kind of union had survived the tumult of 1991? A proto-democratic, voluntary confederation with decision-making authority devolved to the now former Soviet republics? The question matters today. A revanchist, chauvinist Russia under Vladimir Putin seeks to dominate its neighbors. Western commentators worry about the fate of the "liberal world order" and the waning of U.S. hegemony just a generation after they appeared triumphant.

Welcome to our series coverage of For All Mankind (on Apple TV+) by Story Archives. Join us week to week as we cover the hit Apple TV Plus show and it's interesting retelling of how history would have unraveled had the space race never ended. On this episode, we cover the premiere of season 4, titled: “Glasnost”. We find ourselves eight years later, with faces old and new. Ed Baldwin finds himself once again about to make history as part of the Mars-7 alliance. The Cold War is over and Americans, Russians, and several other countries are working together towards Space's new frontier, mining asteroids. Back on earth, Danielle is offered a position she has to think about, Aleida is still dealing with the aftermath of surviving the bombing of JSC, and Margo adjusts to life abroad. We're also introduced to Miles, a struggling husband and father of two and an ex-oil rigger who finds himself taking a risky opportunity to save his family. For All Mankind is an American science fiction drama television series created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States. The title is inspired by the lunar plaque left on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 11, which reads, in part, "We Came in Peace for All Mankind".

As the Cold War draws to a close, a group of American scientists hatches a plan to board a Soviet warship with a nuclear weapons detector to prove to their own government that the USSR is open to nuclear arms verification. Meet the guys who brought a slug of depleted uranium through security at LaGuardia Airport, sat atop a Soviet nuclear device in the Black Sea, and skinny-dipped with their counterparts from the other side of the Iron Curtain.This episode features three physicists: Tom Cochran, formerly of the NRDC; Frank von Hippel, a professor of physics at Princeton University; and Steve Fetter, a professor at the University of Maryland.

Readers looking for a quirky Cold War spy story will find much to enjoy in Like Dolphins, the latest spy thriller from Andy Onyx. In the latest installment of his Barbell spy book series, spy author Andy Onyx takes us on a journey through the world of Cold War spy fiction. With a cast of intriguing characters and a plot that delves deep into the world of espionage, this episode is a must-listen for fans of cold war espionage novels. 'Now in Like Dolphins it was to place my existing characters of BREAKSPEAR (Bradley) and KESTREL (Wallace) in the last knockings of the Cold War, right at the end, in a plot like no other. The tag lines “Withnail and Spy” and “ A Cold War Trainspotting” set the scene of late 80s culture, music, style, the end of football hooliganism, the rising rave scene. We're at a critical point in the Cold War with an ailing GDR behind the Wall further de-stabled by reforming winds of Glasnost and Perestroika coming from the senior partner, the USSR. Add to that action in the hedonistic capital of Europe, Amsterdam.' n this episode, we learn that the plot centers around a key football game between Monaco and Dynamo Berlin and that football hooliganism plays a key role in the story. The introduction of ecstasy changes the culture of violence surrounding this subculture and sets the tone for the action to follow. The cast of characters is explored in depth throughout the episode, with each one complementing one another and creating tension when in the other's presence. The protagonist, KESTREL is tasked with rehabilitating BREAKSPEAR, a previous partner who had a psychological issue and was out of action. The dynamic between the two former partners is fascinating to read, and adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. As Andy Onyx reveals more about the plot but keeping spoilers to himself (this is the way on Spybrary), it becomes clear that loyalty will be tested, and betrayal is a constant risk. Andy Onyx also recommends some must-read books for Cold War spy fiction fans, including "The Outsider" by Frederick Forsyth and "The Fist of God" by the same author. Andy also reveals some of the books on East Germany that he used for researching East Germany. Onyx has also created an eclectic Spotify playlist featuring music relevant to the story. From "Ride On Time" to "Sympathy for the Devil," the music adds another dimension to the storytelling. Overall, Like Dophins is a quirky, intriguing, and informative exploration of Cold War spy fiction. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the spy genre or just looking for something new to read, Like Dolphins is well worth a read. So what are you waiting for? Tune in to the latest episode to find out how the story unfolds.

Quelque temps après l'accident nucléaire de la centrale de Tchernobyl, le rideau de fer qui sépare le bloc de l'Est et le bloc de l'Ouest pendant la Guerre Froide commence à se fissurer. Mikhail Gorbatchev, le secrétaire général du parti communiste de l'URSS, expérimente sa politique de Glasnost en laissant des journalistes mais aussi le directeur général de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique, un Occidental, se rendre sur les lieux du drame. Le 14 mai 1986, Mikhail Gorbatchev contacte également Valery Legasov pour obtenir un compte rendu précis des évènements en vue de son discours à la télévision. Bien qu'il souhaite se montrer transparent avec le peuple pour gagner la confiance de l'opinion publique, Mikhail Gorbatchev trie soigneusement les informations que lui a transmises le chimiste… Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "Au cœur de l'Histoire", l'historienne Virginie Girod achève son récit historique de la catastrophe nucléaire de Tchernobyl avec la mission des liquidateurs.Sujets abordés : rideau de fer - bloc de l'Est - bloc de l'Ouest – liquidateurs Tchernobyl - politique de Glasnost - catastrophe nucléaire Tchernobyl - Mikhaïl Gorbatchev - histoire de l'URSS - parti communiste Union Soviétique - superpuissances Guerre Froide – propagande soviétique - héros de Tchernobyl - Valery Legasov - armée russe  "Au cœur de l'histoire" est un podcast Europe 1 Studio. Ecriture et présentation : Virginie Girod - Production : Adèle Humbert - Direction artistique : Adèle Humbert et Julien Tharaud - Réalisation : Clément Ibrahim - Musique originale : Julien Tharaud - Musiques additionnelles : Julien Tharaud et Sébastien Guidis - Communication : Kelly Decroix - Diffusion et rédaction : Eloise Bertil - Visuel : Sidonie Mangin

Le 29 avril 1986, 80 pilotes de combat survolent la centrale nucléaire de Tchernobyl. Les techniciens à bord lancent dans le cratère formé par l'explosion du réacteur toujours en fusion, des sacs de 80kg de sable et des sacs d'acide carbonique. L'objectif : tenter d'étouffer le feu et absorber les particules radioactives. Tous ignorent les premiers symptômes d'une irradiation mortelle : nausées, maux de tête soudains, évanouissements… Quel discours médiatique est alors propagé par les gouvernements soviétiques et européens sur le drame de Tchernobyl et ses conséquences immédiates ? Dans ce troisième épisode de la mini-série Tchernobyl du podcast "Au cœur de l'Histoire", l'historienne Virginie Girod raconte les retombées de l'accident de Tchernobyl jusqu'en Europe.Sujets abordés : nuage de Tchernobyl – surveillance de la radioactivité - impacts de l'accident de Tchernobyl en Europe –politique de Glasnost - catastrophe nucléaire Tchernobyl - Mikhaïl Gorbatchev - histoire de l'URSS - parti communiste Union Soviétique - superpuissances Guerre Froide - bloc de l'Est  "Au cœur de l'histoire" est un podcast Europe 1 Studio. Ecriture et présentation : Virginie Girod - Production : Adèle Humbert - Direction artistique : Adèle Humbert et Julien Tharaud - Réalisation : Clément Ibrahim - Musique originale : Julien Tharaud - Musiques additionnelles : Julien Tharaud et Sébastien Guidis - Communication : Kelly Decroix - Diffusion et rédaction : Eloise Bertil - Visuel : Sidonie Mangin

Ecoutez la suite du récit consacré à la catastrophe nucléaire de Tchernobyl en 1986. Cinq heures après l'explosion, alors que les pompiers luttent contre un incendie impossible à éteindre, des particules radioactives s'échappent du réacteur en fusion et contaminent l'atmosphère. Personne n'a encore pris la mesure du drame qui est en train de se jouer.  Après son arrivée à Pripyat, la commission gouvernementale est divisée en 4 groupes : le premier travaille sur les causes de l'accident, le deuxième part faire des mesures de radioactivité dans Pripyat, le troisième travaille sur un plan d'évacuation des civils, et le quatrième, auquel appartient le chimiste soviétique Valery Legasov, travaille aux mesures à prendre pour limiter les dégâts, éteindre l'incendie et nettoyer la zone. Dans ce deuxième épisode de la mini-série Tchernobyl du podcast "Au cœur de l'Histoire", l'historienne Virginie Girod raconte les premières réactions à l'accident de la centrale à différentes échelles : celle du gouvernement, mais aussi celle des scientifiques envoyés sur place pour trouver des solutions.Sujets abordés : KGB - politique de Glasnost - catastrophe nucléaire Tchernobyl - Mikhaïl Gorbatchev - histoire de l'URSS - parti communiste Union Soviétique - superpuissances Guerre Froide - bloc de l'Est.  "Au cœur de l'histoire" est un podcast Europe 1 Studio. Ecriture et présentation : Virginie Girod - Production : Adèle Humbert - Direction artistique : Adèle Humbert et Julien Tharaud - Réalisation : Clément Ibrahim - Musique originale : Julien Tharaud - Musiques additionnelles : Julien Tharaud et Sébastien Guidis - Communication : Kelly Decroix - Diffusion et rédaction : Eloise Bertil - Visuel : Sidonie Mangin   Bibliographie : https://theconversation.com/tchernobyl-35-ans-apres-laccident-nucleaire-decouvrez-comment-la-nature-y-a-repris-ses-droits-118082 Markiyan Kamysh, La Zone, Arthaud, 2016 SOURCESTranscription des cassettes de Legasov en anglais :https://legasovtapetranslation.blogspot.com/2019/10/tape-3-side-b.html Igor Kostine, Tchernobyl, Les Arènes, 2020 DOCUMENTAIRESLa bataille de Tchernobyl, Thomas Johnson, 2006Le sacrifice, Wladimir Tcherkoff, 2004.    Archives : La catastrophe vue des USA (Washington), Jean-Pierre Joulin, 30 avril 1986L'explosion des réacteurs de la centrale de Tchernobyl, interview de Pierre Tanguy, patron de la sécurité nuclaire à EDF, par Stéphane Paoli et Jean-Pierre Joulin, 30 avril 1986"Parlons vrai", interview de Pierre Messmer, Président du groupe RPR à l'Assemblée nationale, par Catherine Nay et Gerard Carreyrou 30 avril 1986"L'incident est-il terminé ?", Jean-Pierre Joulin, 2 mai 1986

On the meaning of Gorbachev.   [Patreon Exclusive]   Mikhail Gorbachev continues to be lauded in Western circles for overseeing the collapse of the Soviet Union without much bloodshed. But given the historic societal disaster that followed, is this status unmerited? How naive was Gorbachev about the wolves at the door? And to what extent was the writing on the wall by the late '80s – was there an alternative path not taken?   Readings: Big Man Walking: Gorbachev's Dispensation, Neal Ascherson, LRB, 2017 Voices of Glasnost review  Why Gorbachev Failed, Slavoj Zizek, Compact   Listenings: OK BUNGER!

When Mikhail Gorbachev died on August 30, obituaries and remembrances lauded his legacy of reform that ended Communism and the peaceful means that allowed the Eastern Bloc to go its own way without bloodshed. But the last Soviet leader is still often misunderstood, because his most important reforms eroded the very foundations of his power, leading ultimately to the dissolution of the state. In this episode, Oxford's Archie Brown, who has studied Soviet Communism for a half century, takes us inside the mind of Mikhail Gorbachev, who was unique among leaders of the USSR.

Seguimos con la agenda puesta en los temas internacionales. A una semana de la muerte del líder mundial y Premio Nobel de la Paz, Mijaíl Gorbachov (91 años) nos acercamos a la figura de este hombre que cambió en gran medida el curso de los acontecimientos que derivaron en el fin de la guerra fría con la caída del Muro de Berlín (el derrumbe de las dictaduras del este europeo), el retiro de las tropas rusas de Afganistán y el desmembramiento de las antiguas repúblicas que formaron la unión soviética. También firmó un histórico tratado de desarme nuclear con Ronald Reagan. Probablemente con la vertiginosidad de los acontecimientos del día a día no dimensionamos la historia reciente. Lo cierto es que Gorbachov fue el artífice de esos y otros cambios que tuvieron profundas repercusiones internacionales y domésticas, como las políticas de la Perestroika (reestructuración) y de la Glasnost (transparencia) que tiraron abajo el sistema totalitario de Lenín y Stalin. Gorbachov mostró siempre aversión al uso de la fuerza para resolver conflictos políticos, razón por la cual la Primera Ministra británica Margaret Tatcher veía en él un aliado en la construcción de confianza, pese a sus abismales diferencias ideológicas. Y hablando de la primera Ministra del Reino Unido, justo este martes avanza el proceso para la instalación en las próximas horas de la nueva líder y sucesora de Boris Johnson, la exministra de exteriores Liz Truss de apenas 47 años y una vastísima experiencia política. La líder conservadora, que le ganó la elección a su compañero, el exministro de economía Rishi Sunak, deberá enfrentar una situación interna complejísima, con una inflación que podría llegar al 18% y altos costos de energía, que no le darán tregua más que para formar gobierno. De la encrucijada del otrora socio de la Unión Europea y el contexto económico también afectado por la guerra que lleva adelante Vladímir Putin, el autócrata que arrasó con el legado de Gorbachov, conversamos con el ex embajador de Costa Rica en Londres y ex Canciller de la República, Enrique Castillo.

​ Mikhaïl Sergueïevitch Gorbatchev, premier et dernier président de l'URSS, est mort à Moscou le 30 août 2022, à l'âge de 91 ans. Vous avez déjà dû entendre ou lire beaucoup de choses sur celui qui, en œuvrant pour le rapprochement Est-Ouest et la réforme de l'Union soviétique, a initié un peu malgré lui la fin par KO d'une Guerre froide de plusieurs décennies et d'une partition bipolaire de la planète. Glasnost, perestroïka, retrait d'Afghanistan, libéralisation économique et politique de l'URSS… Ses faits d'armes politiques et diplomatiques ont suscité de nombreux hommages exaltés en Occident, et des réactions bien plus mesurées à Moscou et à Pékin. À l'heure où l'actuel président russe, Vladimir Poutine, vit dans une nostalgie certaine de l'Union soviétique, et tente de reconstituer une grande Russie par les armes en Ukraine, cette disparition marque un sacré symbole. Retour sur l'ascension et l'héritage de celui qui changea la face du monde à la fin du XXe siècle, et sur l'itinéraire d'un pays qui, libéré du totalitarisme, a sombré dans un nouvel autoritarisme. Le monde devant soi est un podcast hebdomadaire d'actualité internationale présenté cette semaine par Christophe Carron, avec Jean-Marie Colombani, directeur de la publication de Slate.fr, Alain Frachon, éditorialiste au Monde spécialisé dans les questions internationales.

Michail Gorbatschow war von 1985 bis 1991 Generalsekretär der KPdSU und das letzte Staatsoberhaupt der Sowjetunion. Er leitete in den 80er Jahren mit seiner Reformpolitik das Ende des Kalten Krieges ein. Er ist Urheber der Begriffe, die auch ohne Übersetzung in der ganzen Welt bekannt wurden: "Perestrojka" und" Glasnost". Seine demokratischen Reformen führten zu einem völligen Wandel des Ostblocks und schließlich auch zur deutschen Wiedervereinigung. Doch sein eigenes riesiges Land zerbrach. Viele Russen haben dies Gorbatschow bis heute nicht verzeihen können. (BR 2010)

Am 11. März 1985 wird Michail Gorbatschow zum Generalsekretär der Kommunistischen Partei der Sowjetunion gewählt. Gorbatschow beginnt die Politik des Umbaus - die Perestroika. Bis dahin stand die sowjetische Wirtschaft streng unter kommunistischer Planung - nun versucht Gorbatschow es mit Elementen der Marktwirtschaft. Ein Plan, der nicht zum Wohle der Sowjetunion aufgeht, denn er öffnet persönlicher Bereicherung Tür und Tor. Dem wachsenden Unmut in der Bevölkerung begegnet Gorbatschow mit einer bis dahin undenkbaren Haltung: Er stellt Kritik, Offenheit und Demokratie als Triebkräfte der Erneuerung in den Mittelpunkt. Sie seien - sagt er - lebenswichtig für den Erfolg des Umbaus der Gesellschaft. Dieses Bekenntnis aus dem Jahr 1987 ist der Grundstein für die Politik von "Glasnost" und hat weit reichende Folgen. Stephan Laack erklärt "Glasnost" und "Perestrojka" und schildert ihre Konsequenzen - das Ende der Sowjetunion. (BR 2010)

Ohne Michael Gorbatschow hätte es die friedliche Revolution in der DDR so nicht gegeben. Davon ist auch Sabine Adler überzeugt, langjährige Deutschlandfunk-Russlandkorrespondentin. Sie erklärt, warum dem letzten sowjetischen Staatschef, trotz Perestroika und Glasnost in seiner Heimat bis heute Ablehnung, teilweise Hass entgegenschlägt. Außerdem: War das 9-Euro-Ticket ein Erfolg? Und wie könnte eine Nachfolgeregelung aussehen? Einschätzungen dazu von Philipp Kosok vom Thinktank Agora-Verkehrswende.Von Philipp MayDirekter Link zur Audiodatei

Those two Russian words were synonymous with Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign for reforming Soviet society. Here's what to know about them.

Michail Gorbatschow hat als letzter Staatschefs der Sowjetunion Weltgeschichte geschrieben. Was ihn fundamental von Putin unterscheidet.

Falleció a los 91 años Mijaíl Gorbachov: qué fueron la "perestroika" y la "glasnost" by En Perspectiva

Igor Petrov wächst in den 70er und 80er Jahren in der damaligen Sowjetunion auf. In einem unpolitischen Elternhaus. Dass die offiziellen Informationen zum Reaktorunglück von Tschernobyl nicht ausgewogen sind, merkt der Jugendliche bald. Mitte der 80er Jahre wird Michail Gorbatschow Generalsekretär der Kommunistischen Partei der Sowjetunion. Eine Zäsur für das ganze Land und auch für den Jugendlichen Igor Petrov. «Glasnost» und «Perestroika» sollen für Transparenz und Wandel in der sowjetischen Gesellschaft sorgen. In der Schule hat Igor Petrov den Auftrag, seine Mitschülerinnen und Mitschüler dazu mit politischen Informationen zu versorgen. Er bedient sich dafür nicht nur aus der Regierungszeitung "Prawda", sondern holt sich auch Informationen aus dem Westen. Er hört die «Deutsche Welle» und «Voice of America», die beide auf russisch senden. Im Gespräch mit Daniel Hofer erzählt er, dadurch habe er einen anderen Blick auf das Reaktorunglück in Tschernobyl erhalten und später entschieden, Geschichte zu studieren.

The place is…Berlin and the date is June 1982, FIVE years before he delivered his historic speech at the Brandenburg gate, demanding that the wall be torn down. This was during the Brezhnev years, long before Gorbachev and Glasnost were in the picture. It's easy to forget how clearly President Reagan expressed his disgust with the Soviets and the Berlin Wall, many years before the so-called climax at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987.

Katrina vanden Heuvel is the editorial director and publisher of The Nation magazine, as well as a columnist for the Washington Post. She is also the president of the American Committee For U.S.-Russia Accord and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Katrina has been studying, working in, and writing about Russia for decades. In columns leading up to the invasion of Ukraine, Katrina was warning that failures of diplomacy were leading toward disaster. In this conversation, we discuss what she believes those failures were. Katrina is no defender of Putin's regime, but she does believe that opportunities were missed to de-escalate the crisis, and that Western policy choices stretching back to the 1990s have made Russia's present aggression more likely. We also discuss the terrifying threat of nuclear weapons and the prospects for getting rid of them, and why it's critical to avoid further militarizing the world. Katrina's writings on Russia are both deeply-informed and uncompromisingly progressive, and she shows how those of us on the left can combine solidarity with the victims of Putin's war with strong critiques of American foreign policy. Katrina's recent columns on Russia and Ukraine:What A Sensible Ukraine Policy Would Look Like (Jan. 4, Washington Post)Stop The Stumble Toward War With Russia (Jan. 18, Washington Post)The Exist From The Ukraine Crisis That's Hiding In Plain Sight (Feb. 1, Washington Post)A Path Out of the Ukraine Crisis (Feb. 15, Washington Post)Putin's Invasion (Feb. 24, The Nation)We Must End The War on Ukraine—and Put an End To Perpetual Wars (March 1, Washington Post)War and Peace in Ukraine (March 3, The Nation)Some of the people and writings referred to in the conversation:An excellent Behind the News interview with Anatol Lieven, whose work Katrina cites, can be read here.Stephen F.
