Mikhail Gorbachev continued to uncover the crimes of Stalinism, shedding light on dark pages that Khrushchev lacked the courage to open to public view. During Boris Yeltsin s presidency, this criticism became even stronger.

China, which has 77 nuclear reactors at various stages of construction, planning, and discussion, has said that it will review its program. Though Russia has formally announced that it will go ahead with its program, former President Mikhail Gorbachev on whose watch the Chernobyl meltdown occurred 25 years ago is not so sanguine.

Mr. Gorbachev observed that this was the third occasion on which he had participated in the activities of the Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona.
