Raisa Gorbachev: A Portrait in OutlineThe new book about Raisa Gorbachev, the late wife of the first and the last President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, presents the recollections about the First Lady of the Soviet state as told by some of the well-known political and public figures, renowned journalists and writers, and generally the people who knew, valued and loved her. They give a full portrait of this amazing woman. The book, compiled and written under the general editorship of Irina Gorbachev-Virganskaya, will be officially presented at the "Modern Challenges and Values: Women's Dialog", an international conference in memory of Raisa Gorbachev, to be held by the Gorbachev Foundation on September 24, 2009. |
The XXI century will be a сentury either of total all-embracing crisis or of moral and spiritual healing that will reinvigorate humankind. It is my conviction that all of us - all reasonable political leaders, all spiritual and ideological movements, all faiths - must help in this transition to a triumph of humanism and justice, in making the XXI century a century of a new human renaissance.
