Toomas Karmo: souvenir reconnaissant de Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev / Михаил Сергеевич Горбачёв (1931-2022)

 

Brandenburger Tor, Berlin, at site of the wall which until 1989 November 09 separated the Soviet sphere of influence from the West. M.S. Gorbachev's decision not to intervene in the German internal 1989 political process secured a peaceful resolution to a crisis which could have destroyed the member states both of the Warsaw Pact and of NATO.  Photo published at https://www.ranker.com/list/berlin-wall-fall-photos/kellie-kreiss, with attribution "Owen Franken/Corbis via Getty Images". 

"XXI век станет либо веком тотального обострения смертоносного кризиса, либо же веком морального очищения и духовного выздоровления человечества. Его всестороннего возрождения. Убежден, все мы – все разумные политические силы, все духовные и идейные течения, все конфессии – призваны содействовать этому переходу, победе человечности и справедливости. Тому, чтобы XXI век стал веком возрождения, веком Человека." - M.S. Gorbachev, cité à https://www.gorby.ru/.   ["XXI sajand saab olema kas surmava kriisi täieliku laienemise sajand või moraalse puhastuse ning inimkonna vaimuliku toibumise sajand,   tema täieliku taaselustumise sajand. Olen veendunud, et me kõik - kõik mõistlikud poliitilised jõud, kõik vaimulikud ja mõttelised voolud, kõik ülestunnistused - oleme kutsutud kaasa aitame selles üleminekus, inimlikkuse ja õigluse võiduks. Et XXI sajandist saaks uuestisünni sajand, Inimese Sajand."] ["The 21st century is destined to be either the century in which a death-dealing crisis expands to overwhelming proportions or the century of a moral purification and a revival of human spirituality. Of a full return to life. I am convinced that all of us - all rational political forces, all spiritual and philosophical movements, all faith confessions - are called to assist in this transition, for the victory of humanity and justice. So that the 21st century may become a Century of Rebirth, a Century of the Human Person."]
