Gorbachev

Let's take a few minutes to remember Mikhail Sergeivich. Time published an article in which he answers questions about his yet to be released book.

Perhaps the most frightening line is not far into the interview, referencing Yelstin: " He allowed the wealth of the country to be taken by a few people."

Does that sound familiar? Does it matter that we did it through the mechanism of corporatism while it happened in Russia through cronyism. On second thought, aren't those two sides of the same coin?
