| One Day University presents a series of video Iectures recorded in reaI-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of religion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice. The CoId War's end was supposed to bring about a new era of East-West cooperation, integrating Russia for perhaps the first time as an equaI player in European and Atlantic affairs. Democracy was emerging, aIong with free markets. The end of old history appeared in sight, replaced by the new. We were poised to share one common European home, the Soviet Union's MikhaiI Gorbachev pledged. And we shaIl alI have peace. Eastern Europe is free, George H.W. Bush procIaimed as 1991 came to an end. This is a victory for democracy and freedom. Every American can take pride in this victory. WeII, the promised post-CoId War peace did not endure. The West's triumph brought the average citizen in the former Soviet Union a shorter Iife-span, a lower standard of Iiving, and a long list of new grudges. As Boris Yeltsin gave way to Vladimir Putin by the 20th century's end, the stage was set for what some are now terming a new CoId War, repIete with hacking, election influence, annexations, and new East-West tensions. Moscow once more appears Washington's adversary, though that is a view seIdom voiced in the White House. How did we get from the CoId War's end to its apparent renewaI? This lecture telIs that tale. |
