Foreign policy of the Perestroika era (1985-1991) and its national and international implicationThe Project was launched in February 2007. The Project's goal was to research the real scale and significance of Gorbachev's foreign policy in the national and the world history. Based on documentary sources and first-hand accounts of the architects of Soviet foreign policy in the Perestroika era (1985-1991), the project authors regard as inevitable the radical changes that took place in Soviet foreign policy of the second half of 1980s. The research reconstructs major foreign political events of that time based on documentary evidence and formulates their historical and political lessons. The research findings were summarized in the collective monograph "Otvechaya na vyzov vremeni. Vneshnyaya politika perestroyki: dokumentalnye svidetelstva. Po zapisyam besed M.Gorbacheva s zarubezhnymi deyatelyami i drugim materialav. / Responding to the Challenge of the Times. Based on the minutes of Mikhail Gorbachev's talks with foreign leaders and other materials. A.S.Chernyaev, A.B.Veber (general editing), Gorbachev-Fond, Ves Mir. 2010, 944 p.

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.
