After 500 pages (out of 695 pages in total), no specific
subject related to Japan or Japanese politician is mentioned in “Memoirs” by Mikhail
Gorbachev. So far, about Asia, Rajiv Gandhi and the Chinese leadership during
his 1989 trip to Beijing, just days before the Tiananmen Square massacre, are
the topics. This book is rather tough or tedious to read perhaps because this is
an English translation from Russian and perhaps because his own writing. Not surprisingly,
his mind seemed to be concentrated far more on how to advance perestroika in
the USSR and improve its relations with the US and Western Europe. Shevardnadze’s
speech of his resignation as Foreign Minister, which was really stunning, is mentioned
rather in passing (page 390).
SHAME ON YOU, LESSIE. SHOW YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD AND
REPENT AND ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS.
