[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3219752, member: 24302"] But Gorbachev wanted to hold the Soviet Union together. Never discount the power of nationalism. If Gorbachev wanted to let the various republics go their own way he'd be much more fondly remembered. Look around the world. The Kurds want their own country. So do many Catalonians. The Scottish are leaning that way. French Canadians. And on and on. Same with the Soviet Union. So many different ethnicities and languages, so many people wanting self rule. Heck, look at the divides between ethnicities and races in this country, not too mention the political divide. [/QUOTE]
