Gorbachev on His Legacy.(Mikhail Gorbachev, interview)(Brief Article)(Interview)
Mikhail Gorbachev was in New York last week, promoting his new environmental group, Green Cross International. He spoke with NEWSWEEK's Jonathan Alter. Excerpts:
ALTER: How are you holding up since your wife's death?
GORBACHEV: I thought with time I would feel less sorrow, but so far I have not. My friends, my daughter tell me you have to move on, you have to live for yourself, your children and grandchildren. I'm an optimist. I love life. I'm trying to travel a lot, to talk to people. But wherever I go, when I'm alone, the memories come back.
Is democracy in Russia under siege?
No. Even when there seems to be a danger of a rollback, those moments pass. Perestroika enabled democracy to take root. Right now, it's very important to make sure that continues.
But it's not. Independent NTV as been snuffed out. So has NEWSWEEK's partner, the magazine Itogi. Without a free press, how can Russians know what's going on in their government and society?
You're right. My position is the same. What's more, I told President Putin that. He said to me, "Yes, I agree. Without a free press," and he added, "a free and responsible press, we would not be able to cope with our tasks."
