Gorbatchev-Reagan, quiproquo au sommet

What if the present-day events in eastern Europe — tensions that recall the Cold War years — were the consequence of the face-off thirty years ago between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev? And what if this latter-day stand-off between Russia and the West and the wall of misunderstanding that separates them derived from the historic quid pro quo between the American and Russian Presidents? Because although they put an end to forty years of Cold War by agreeing to meet and negotiate, questions remain, exactly the same as were being asked back then: - What were their respective intentions? - Did they want peace and an end to the Cold War, or did they want to crush each other? - Did Reagan's aggressive policies trigger reforms in the Soviet Union and the rise to power of Gorbachev? - Was it the Russian's conciliatory policies that drove the American to seek peace? Or just the opposite? The answers to these questions get different answers according to whether you're Russian or American! In short, it's a story of quid pro quo (Verleiher-Text)
