Mikhail
Gorbachev
I confess that we were afraid of panic,
The cold war
seems incongruous
vestige of the past – demonstrated disaster
unique – no country can be prepared for every
eventuality – we must deploy the maximum effort
to prevent disasters. Social ecological economic
consequences too heavy in every sense of the word
In the beginning there was the word and the word
Was god. Responsibility enormous – politicians, scientists
engineers and designers – their mistakes cost the earth the
life
and health of millions.
The victims continue to suffer, moral duty to help them
moral duty to help them while continuing to limit ecological
consequences of this disaster.
I waited three weeks – silence – Soviet
motto – don’t
seek advice
from abroad – but who would know just how to handle the heat – put
out the fire
and put out the light – no one could
have caused more damage
to Russia
than the Russians themselves.
