Features: Chinese readers, while reading the interview book with Gorbachev, can also learn about the Soviet president's evaluation of Yeltsin's decade after the reforms, his assessment of the main negative outcomes of Yeltsin's leadership, and his criticism of Yeltsin and his team for uncritically accepting the extreme neoliberal ideas of the West. Readers will also understand why Gorbachev now supports Putin's policies. By reading this book, readers will draw their own conclusions about the former and last president of the Soviet Union and his views. Gorbachev is actively re-engaging in political and social life. It is believed that his participation will enrich the social democracy prevalent in developed countries into the contemporary political life of our country. It is firmly believed that, in the early 21st century, social democracy in our country will also be accepted by society, just as it was in the early 20th century.
