Gorbachev and his foundation
The Nobel Committee, working hard, is working on a difficult choice. There is no peace in the world, and the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 is a year to give to someone. Considering that before the awarding of the prize to the “main peacemaker” there is not much time left (the awards ceremony of the laureate / laureates will be held in December, and the winner will be known in the fall), the pace of work of the committee is intensified. You bet! .. It’s necessary to choose from the list in the 318 candidates, including 103 international organizations, the only one (well, or a couple of) in order to continue to follow the “precepts” of Alfred Nobel.
By the way, as reported in the Nobel committee, in 2016 and 2017 there are absolute records in the number of nominees. As already noted, in 2017 - 318. 2016 was even more 376. Strange, we must admit the tendency: the more tense the situation in the world, the more people and organizations that, as someone thinks, make a huge contribution to the cause of peace, turn out to be ... Inverse proportionality.
Despite the fact that the full list of nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize remains “secret”, a certain kind of information about individual applicants is still leaked to the media. In particular, there were reports of the nomination of the White Helmets organization for the Nobel Peace Prize. If “White Helmets” is really in the list of 318 applicants and if this organization as a nominee is seriously considered by the Nobel Committee, then this may be another proof that the Nobel Prize is still another tool for political games. Considering the issue of awarding the peace prize to a group of people who, before putting on white helmets with GoPro, put aside the flag of “Dzhebhat an-Nusra” (* terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation by a court decision) and removed the machines from the shoulder bust, this is blasphemy against tens of thousands of victims of terrorism in Syria.
Although ... After the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama, it’s no longer surprising. To call the main peacemaker of the planet a person who didn’t put a ounce of effort to the peacekeeping mission, and after delivering the unleashed and several more bloody conflicts in different countries of the world ... But for all that, the Nobel Committee should not just withdraw its decision, but and self-destruct as an organization ... But no - Obama is at a premium, and the Nobel Committee continues to "work."
In one list - Mother Teresa, Barack Obama and, for example, Mikhail Gorbachev ... Speaking of Mikhail Gorbachev as the Nobel Peace Prize winner 1990 of the year with the official interpretation “In recognition of his leading role in the peace process, which today characterizes an important component part of the life of the international community. "
What kind of peace process in 1990 was discussed today, today millions of citizens of the countries of the so-called post-Soviet space are remembered. Bloody clashes from the Baltic to Transcaucasia and Central Asia, a real hunt for the Russian population in a number of then Soviet republics and national autonomies, the actual surrender of the interests of a huge country to the expanding Western military bloc in exchange for (attention!) Oral guarantees. Verbal guarantees! .. When our Western friends often, even with written guarantees, forgive me, wipe them immediately after signing them.
And how does the dear Nobel Prize winner live with such baggage today? A good live. In the edition "Century" A material appeared under the heading “Where does the money come from, Mikhail Sergeyevich?”, which mentions the family of the first USSR President for sale a luxurious 17-room villa in Bavaria and in part about the means of the so-called Gorbache-Fund. Whence from the fund means to conduct its activities for more than a quarter of a century with the involvement of experts from different countries of the world with very vague goals of this activity itself is a question. And the question seems to be so complicated that even the vice-president of the foundation, Gorbachev’s daughter, Irina Virganskaya, could not really explain where the money came from, except by mentioning fees for her father’s lectures.
Considering other people's money is a move, and therefore it is better to pay attention to the very mentioned goals pursued by the continuing “Gorbachev Foundation”.
And one has only to open site "Gorbachev Foundation", like ... "Mikhail Gorbachev met with representatives of the American public." News such.
At the same time, in the latest reports there is not a single message that Mikhail Sergeevich found time and met with representatives of the Russian (Belarusian, Armenian, Kazakh, etc.) public. But this public, 100 percent, has much more interesting questions for Mikhail Sergeyevich ... The team of authors and regular readers of Military Review, which are also public, for example ...
In particular, it would be interesting to hear the response of a person in which the country ceased to exist, which was the common homeland for most of us, what specifically prevented the unity of the Union, having all the necessary resources and the desire of the overwhelming majority of its citizens for that? What prompted the need for the signing of an “agreement” on the actual collapse of the state, and does not Mikhail Gorbachev consider such a signature now a treason?
That is why it is more convenient for this person to meet with American public activists, and not with us ...
From the material on the fund's website:
Pro Pax Americana is, of course, strong. But why, in encouraging popular diplomacy, Mikhail Sergeyevich did not have a question for the American delegation: why would Sharon Tennyson in the status of “populist” not try to ask first, in America itself, to what point are the local money bags and government representatives going to destroy relations with the Russian Federation ( often it is only people ...)? Why is the American delegation looking for civic activity in Russia and not at all interested in civic activity in building fertile relations with the Russian Federation in the USA? Or does the American delegation know whom to “spud” with the aim of repeating that version of diplomacy, from which Shevardnadze and Kozyrev were crazy about their time? ..
Instead, Mikhail Sergeevich released the 27 volume (he tries to catch up and overtake Ilyich literally-journalistic? ..) of the collected works. From the 27 volume, we all once again have to find out how Gorbachev was “set up” and that he “tried with all his might to counteract the putschists, Yeltsinites and other things-other things” ... Entertaining reading material, especially where Gorbachev tells how he was deprived of his telephone connection, just as the conspirators were all around him, and he is exclusively white and fluffy, and therefore everything is slander. Who cares - here link on the Gorbachev description of 18 August 1991 events of the year.
Apparently, now - the emphasis on the Nobel Prize in literature ...

From the material on the fund's website:
May 12 Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev met with a group of representatives of the American public. Americans of different ages and professions came to Russia to renew contacts and jointly look for ways to improve relations between the two countries. Sharon Tennyson, the trip initiator, has been involved in various “people's diplomacy” projects for several decades. This time, the group plans to visit not only Moscow, but also several regions of Russia, meetings with politicians, experts, and ordinary citizens.
Welcoming the guests, MS Gorbachev said: “Now, when the state of relations between Russia and the United States is very disturbing, people's diplomacy, active civil society is especially necessary. We must not put up with a new round of tension and confrontation, reminiscent of the times of the Cold War. It is necessary to act, demand from politicians, leaders of our countries to resume serious dialogue. ”
M.S. Gorbachev answered in detail the numerous questions of the guests. “I do not hold official positions, I do not represent the Russian state,” he said. “But I am sure that the experience of those years, when we jointly put an end to the cold war, is still relevant today.” He recalled the words of President John F. Kennedy: “He is mistaken who thinks that the world of the future is Pax Americana. Either it will be peace for all, or it will not be there at all. ” It is necessary to respect each other, to conduct a dialogue on an equal footing, to look for solutions to the accumulated problems.
