25 million of russian people suddenly turned out to be outside the borders of the russian federation. they used to live in one state; the soviet union has traditionally been called russia, the soviet russia, and it was the great russia. then the soviet union suddenly fell apart, in fact, overnight, and it turned out that in the former soviet union republics there were 25 million russians. they used to live in one country and suddenly found themselves abroad. can you imagine how many problems came out?

There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the communist world. let them come to berlin. there are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. let them come to berlin. and there are some who say in europe and elsewhere we can work with the communists. let them come to berlin. and there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. lass' sie nach berlin kommen. let them come to berlin.

National defense a strong usa defense brought down the soviet union. it was ronald reagan - first in a speech at notre dame university in may 1981, then his 'evil empire' speech of march 1983 - who most eloquently declared communism's imminent demise. reagan was right. and even soviet officials attribute ronald reagan's rhetoric and foreign policy to bringing down that 'evil empire.' by christmas day, 1990, the soviet union ceased to exist. liberals wished it were other things.

Why were the europeans bothered about the soviet union at all? it was nothing to do with us. china had nothing to do with us. why were we not building, without reference to the soviet union, a good society in our own countries? but no, we were all - in one way or another - obsessed with the bloody soviet union, which was a disaster. what people were supporting was failure. and continually justifying it.

The attitude of the west and of russia towards a crisis like ukraine is diametrically different. the west is trying to establish the legality of any established border. for russia, ukraine is part of the russian patrimony. a russian state was created around kiev about 1,200 years ago. ukraine itself has been part of russia for 500 years, and i would say most russians consider it part of russian patrimony. the ideal solution would be to have a ukraine like finland or austria that can be a bridge between these two rather than an outpost.

I believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in our education, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values. i am not thinking so much of the dangers with which technical progress has directly confronted mankind, as of the stifling of mutual human considerations by a 'matter-of-fact' habit of thought which has come to lie like a killing frost upon human relations. without 'ethical culture' there is no salvation for humanity.
