    Extractions: in full MIKHAIL SERGEYEVICH GORBACHEV (b. March 2, 1931, Privolye, Stavropol kray, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Soviet official, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) from 1985 to 1991 and president of the Soviet Union in 1990-91. His efforts to democratize his country's political system and decentralize its economy led to the downfall of communism and the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. In part because he ended the Soviet Union's postwar domination of eastern Europe, Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1990. Gorbachev was the son of Russian peasants in Stavropol territory ( kray ) in southwestern Russia. He joined the Komsomol (Young Communist League) in 1946 and drove a combine harvester at a state farm in Stavropol for the next four years. He proved a promising Komsomol member, and in 1952 he entered the law school of Moscow State University and became a member of the Communist Party. He graduated with a degree in law in 1955 and went on to hold a number of posts in the Komsomol and regular party organizations in Stavropol, rising to become first secretary of the regional party committee in 1970. Gorbachev was named a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1971, and he was appointed a party secretary of agriculture in 1978. He became a candidate member of the Politburo in 1979 and a full member in 1980. He owed a great deal of his steady rise in the party to the patronage of Mikhail Suslov, the leading party ideologue. Over the course of Yury Andropov's 15-month tenure (1982-84) as general secretary of the Communist Party, Gorbachev became one of the Politburo's most highly active and visible members; and, after Andropov died and Konstamtin Chernenko became general secretary in February 1984, Gorbachev became a likely successor to the latter. Chernenko died on March 10, 1985, and the following day the Politburo elected Gorbachev general secretary of the CPSU. Upon his accession, he was still the youngest member of the Politburo.

He rose quickly through the party ranks, and in 1985, he became the general secretary of the CPSU. Five years later, he became president of the USSR. During his tenure, Gorbachev helped dismantle the party apparatus, encouraged free expression, and relaxed cultural restrictions behind the Iron Curtain. In 1990, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his international achievements, including withdrawal of the Red Army from Afghanistan, passing two disarmament treaties with then-American President Ronald Reagan, and promoting political change in Eastern Europe.

    Extractions: III. Alfred Nobel And The Nobel Prizes Alfred Nobel is the man who invented dynamite. He is better known today, however, as the man who established some of the most prestigious prizes in the world. Born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel from his youth had a dream of inventing an explosive so devastating it would deter humans from making war. Instead, his invention made war easier. Though he was a Swede by birth, he was very much an international man, being educated in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his family moved when he was a child. In St. Petersburg, he studied with private tutors, particularly showing interest in chemistry and languages. He mastered Swedish, Russian, English, French, and German. At the age of 17 he began two years of educational travel throughout Germany, France, Italy and to the United States. Then at the age of 19 he became a chemist, working with his father in St. Petersburg. The family returned to Sweden and in 1863 he was a chemist in his father's explosives factory at Heleneborg near Stockholm. In 1864 Nobel received a patent covering detonating charges and percussion caps. Called "The Nobel Igniter," it was to be called at a later time "the greatest discovery ever made in both the principle and practice of explosives." His 1866 invention of dynamite revolutionized mining, road building and tunnel blasting. In 1875 a later improvement was patented as blasting gelatine. In 1887 he patented ballistite, the first of the nitroglycerine smokeless powders. This was to serve as the basis for cordite which was eventually to change the use of firearms.

We wish to contribute to reduce their suffering. We believe that each child can discover, by himself, that violence is not inevitable.

    Extractions: February 12, 2002 STANFORD , presents pictures, letters, and memorabilia of Nobel Prize winners collected over the last century in holdings from the Hoover Institution Library and Archives, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Archives and History Office, and the Stanford University Archives. It features photographs and documents of some of the great leaders of the last century: The Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, former Soviet president Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, chemist Linus Carl Pauling, Israel’s Shimon Peres, Polish Solidarity leader Lech Walesa, and author Eli Wiesel, all winners of the Nobel Peace Prize. Originally, Exhibits Coordinator Cissie Hill planned to feature only winners of the peace prize in the exhibit. “It was quite feasible to fill the entire exhibit pavilion solely with documents, letters, and memorabilia from winners of the peace prize,” Hill explained. “The peace collections at the Hoover Institution provided many documents for this category of the Nobel Prize. However, we decided to enlarge the scope of the exhibit because I started discovering letters from Nobel physicists, chemists, and Nobel laureates in literature in the archives as well.” Hill found these laureate scientists and writers were often involved in human rights projects or were dissidents whose materials had been part of Hoover’s collecting focus.

    Extractions: In 1985 MIKHAIL GORBACHEV was elected General Secretary of the Communist Party and his trusted friend EDVARD ZHEVARDNADZE became minister of foreign affairs. Gorbachev dramatically cut down Soviet investment in the arms industry, scaled down the USSR's involvement in the war in Afghanistan. He voiced his support for those groups in the satellite countries in Eastern Central Europe advocating reform. In 1989 communist rule in Eastern Central Europe began to crumble. Hungary gradually democratized, starting a chain of events when Hungarian politicians symbolically cut a hole in the Iron Curtain. Within a few months, the hardline governments of East Germany and Czechoslovakia resigned in the face of massive demonstrations, while in Poland government had little authority and had to concede free elections, which were won by Solidarnosc. Even in Bulgaria and Rumania, communism crumbled.

    Extractions: On 11 March 1985, 54-year-old Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev was elected the new general secretary of the Communist Party. Following in the footsteps of such past rulers as Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Stalin, and Brezhnev, Gorbachev inherited a stagnating economy, an entrenched bureaucracy, and a population that had lived in fear and mistrust of their previous leaders. Gorbachev's first actions were to shut down the production and sale of vodka and to ardently pursue Andropov's anticorruption campaign; one of the first to go was Leningrad party boss Grigory Romanov. For the 40 million Russian Orthodox and people of other religious beliefs, Gorbachev stated that "believers have the full right to express their convictions with dignity." On 1 Dec. 1989, Gorbachev became the first Soviet leader to set foot in the Vatican. In a historic meeting with Pope John Paul II, Gorbachev promised to open diplomatic relations with the Vatican and pledged that the government soon would pass a law guaranteeing freedom of religion for all believers. In one of his speeches in Rome, Gorbachev expressed: "We need spiritual values; we need a revolution of the mind. . . . No one should interfere in matters of the individual's conscience.

    Extractions: MOSCOW, Feb 8 (AFP) - Mikhail Gorbachev is to team up with former US president Bill Clinton and actress Sophia Loren in recording a new version of the classic children's musical "Peter and the Wolf", an aide to the former Soviet leader was quoted as saying Saturday. Clari News Just all the news you want, with all the depth you need. The recording will be carried out at the head office of the Gorbachev Fund, the think-tank that the Gorbachev created after leaving office in December 1991, on Monday and will last around an hour, spokesman Vladimir Polyakov told the Interfax news agency. "The organisers have visited the premises and located a suitable spot," he said. Retitled "The Wolf and Peter", the new version of Sergei Prokoviev's timeless story tells the story from the point of view of the wolf, faced with the encroachments of urbanisation on his dwindling forest habitat. New music for the reworking has been commissioned by the Russian National Orchestra (RNO) from French composer Jean-Pascal Beintus, while the new text is by the US writer Walt Kraemer.
