"Gorbachev said that eventually he saw a day when the Soviet Union's political system would be the far-left part of a European spectrum of parties -- communist, social democrat, conservative. This, he said, should have been the outcome of the Russian Revolution. The problem was that the political system had been hijacked by Josef Stalin and separated from Europe. I thought his was an interesting if flawed take on Soviet history." - Condoleezza Rice
