Kasparov's predictions and moral compass have unerringly pointed true. Now, with his trademark precision, the master strategist diagnoses where it all went wrong.

La febbre della roulette nei casinò di Mosca e la fame a Leningrado come al tempo dell'assedio nazista.

After going through three elderly leaders in three years, Mikhail Gorbachev was chosen as the new General Secretary of the Soviet Union at the relatively youg age of 54 in March 1985. Gorbachev hoped to build the Soviet economy to relieve the persistent shortages of consumer goods it faced, which were caused by enormous military spending of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev tried to introduce some economic reforms, but they were blocked by communist hardliners.
