- Take in the most recent local, national, and worldwide news.
- Pozner, who said he revered and liked Gorbachev despite the late politician's use of vulgar language to berate him in their last phone conversation, said Putin's attitude toward his immediate successor, Boris Yeltsin, was significantly different.
- Pozner speculated that Yeltsin's desire to dethrone Gorbachev, whom he despised, was one of the reasons the Soviet Union imploded.
- "Because as long as the Soviet Union existed, there was a President Gorbachev."
- "And when the Soviet Union vanished, President Gorbachev vanished, and you had President Yeltsin," he explained.
