I remember very clearly visiting a bookshop and reading, quickly, through Gorbachev's book describing the need for perestroika (restructuring) of the Soviet Union. In that instant I saw the world we live in would change. It was an event like landing on the moon, AND MORE, in what it portended for the peace and safety of people living at that time.
This is a great man, in the right place at the right time.

This is a great man, in the right place at the right time. Then some of those Chinese leaders must be right up your alley.

LOL, good one!
I always took perestroika to translate roughly to, "Da, Comrade! We are still monstrous butchers, but at least the people can wear American blue jeans."
