Dear Diary, Mikhail Gorbachev has become General Secretary and has launched an economic reform program, which has shown all the atrocities that Stalin has committed. He has also allowed free elections and has negotiated arms control with the United States in an attempt to end the Cold War. The USSR has officially collapsed. Gorbachev has refused to use force against the protesters of his reforms. As a result, 15 new states have emerged from the USSR and I'm not sure what we're going to do now. Communism has collapsed here, and Ru tells me it has collapsed in China as well. There is only one communist state left which is North Korea. As for me, life is the same as it was when I once started this diary, and I can't wait to see what the next week will bring! Wishing you the best, Anna♡
Dear Diary, We have created a weapon, a nuclear one that is. Though I do not know the exact details, between the US and the USSR, we have around 60,000 nuclear weapons at hand and we are afraid to use them against each other. Both of us have a clear understanding of how much damage these weapons can do. We have started using small third-world countries to fight our battles, and so has the United States, which is beginning to be known as the Cold War. Those countries do not seem to be enjoying being "used as pawns" much and have began to fight against us. Some choose to remain neutral, while others have been trying to manipulate the US against us. All this drama that's been going on has been getting to my head! My, it really is not good for the children either, and I haven't spoken to my husband in a few days. I'm glad this week is almost over, I deserve a break. Until Tomorrow, Anna ♡
