Gorby's Japan

Of Japan, Gorbachev in his 695-page long memoirs only wrote, “I did not go to London [for the 1991 G7 summit meeting] to beg for credits; a meeting of top leaders is not the place where money is given out. I did not sell the Azerbaijan oilfields to the British or the Kuril Islands to the Japanese.”

Yes, the territorial dispute over the Southern Kurils was mentioned. But according to his memoirs, it was George Bush who mentioned it for furthering cooperation between the USSR and Japan.

His Foreign Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, visited Japan in January 1986, and he met the Japanese Foreign Minister in September of the same year and again a year later, both times in New York. Shevardnadze came to Japan again in December 1988. Another meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the two countries took place in Paris in the following month, January 1989, followed by yet another in Paris in January and New York in September 1989. Foreign Minister Nakayama visited Moscow in January 1991, and Soviet Foreign Minister Bessmertnykh visited Tokyo in March 1991 before President Gorbachev himself came in April 1991 finally. And he and Prime Minister Kaifu met at the London G7 summit in July 1991. Gorbachev never let us know what was discussed during these meetings in his memoirs.

SHAME ON YOU, LESSIE. SHOW YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD AND REPENT AND ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS. YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN BEING, JUST SCUM. AND YOU ARE A FUGITIVE.
