Perestroika for the West

[Yaro]

Hello, men! All topics touches so many interesting issues, but who is able to distillate our life into fractions? Do you agree what every posting swirls around our world perception? Since the Gorby's perestroika in USSR there was some kind of pink mood about Russia, USA and West in general relations. And that's fact, there is the tendency of changes in Russia now. Ask yourself what's the reason? The best appropriate reason is our today's openness, I think. That our country was closed to the rest of the world was the reason we had smashed it ourselves. Therefore the back move is natural, not into the closed country once again but to the real world sense only. And real state of things is we had changed our mind but the rest of the world didn't. It is seen from western organs we read and every thing touching Russia in general: the term of 'Cold War' and what Russia was defeated, US has "strategic interests" at Persian Gulf or Caucasus but Russia has "imperial ambitions" on Caucasus or Middle Asia, the term of "rough nation" from US policymakers, lasting Russia demonizing process in western mass-media instead of realistic estimations of practicable possible solutions. So that's mine belief, the double standard policy is the end point of absence of introspection and you, I address to the western people, need your own perestroika now.
