Yesterday's Der Spiegel On Line, the internet version of the German magazine, published a very interesting interview with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachov.
Gorbachov plainly has had enormous influence, not all of it planned, on the shape of the world today. The interview, headlined 'They Were Truly Idiots' (referring to his former Kremlin colleagues), is notable not only for the insider's tidbits, but for the light it sheds on Gorbachov's essential humanity. He was an important transitional figure, and we should be grateful for the role he played.
