Chief foreign policy aide to Gorbachev from 1986 through 1991 and a leading architect of perestroika and "new thinking," Anatoly Sergeevich remains a champion of glasnost, sharing his notes, documents and first-hand insights with scholars trying to understand the peaceful end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 2004, he donated the originals of his detailed diaries covering the years from 1972 through 1991, to the National Security Archive in order to ensure permanent public access to this record -- beyond the reach of political uncertainties in contemporary Russia.
Translated into English for the first time, by Anna Melyakova and edited by Svetlana Savranskaya of the Archive's Russia/Eurasia program, today's posting on the year 1991 is the sixth installment of the Archive's publication of the Chernyaev diary, now covering all of the crucial Gorbachev years, 1985 through 1991.
