ABSTRACT In this interview carried out by two staff writers of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev recalls how he engaged in dialogues with the United States in the final years of the Cold War. But the “peace dividend” brought by the initiatives of Gorbachev and his US counterpart has been largely eclipsed by renewed arms race between the United States and Russia. Gorbachev, in his sober understanding of the horror of nuclear war and the Chernobyl disaster, makes a strong case for a world without nuclear weapons, and calls for a moral world.

戈尔巴乔夫：没有核武器就不要放弃对世界的希望

摘要在由日本报纸《朝日新闻》的两名专职作家进行的采访中，前苏联领导人米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫（Mikhail Gorbachev）回顾了他在冷战的最后几年与美国进行对话的情况。但是，戈尔巴乔夫和他的美国同行的倡议带来的“和平红利”在很大程度上已被美俄之间重新爆发的军备竞赛所掩盖。戈尔巴乔夫对核战争和切尔诺贝利核灾难的恐怖认识清醒，为没有核武器的世界提供了有力的依据，并呼吁建立道德世界。
