	Guardian \| Alexander Yakovlev
		Alexander Yakovlev, who has died in Moscow aged 81, was the most powerful - and most contradictory - intellectual in the top echelons of the Soviet Communist party in its final decade.
		A short, plump, owlish figure, Yakovlev became the architect of Gorbachev's policy of non-intervention in eastern Europe, which was based on the hope that local communist parties could reform and liberalise (and even win multi-party elections).
		Yakovlev denounced Bolshevism for "its fixation on keeping power at any cost, by force and unconstitutional means, if necessary" - an argument he elaborated in retirement, when he made it clear that he favoured the February 1917 revolution (which overthrew the tsar), but not the October revolution later that year.

		Yakovlev has been in politics all his life, therefore he was supposed to have shed all moral principles.
		Yakovlev reported the commissions findings: The treaty itself was to a very large extent dictated by the contemporary international situation; as for the protocols signed by Molotov and Ribbentrop, it was a glaring example of the worlds predatory carve-up.
		In closing his statement, Alexander Nikolaevich said: "Comrades, the theory of relativity was a great discovery in the study of the Universe.

	Alexander Yakovlev and the Roots of the Soviet Reforms
		Alexander Yakovlev rose through the Communist Party ranks to become one of the most vocal critics of the Stalinist past and a passionate advocate of democratization in the second half of the 1980s.
		Yakovlev was born in a peasant family in the Yaroslavl oblast, fought in World War II, and was badly wounded in 1943.
		Yakovlev writes in his memoir that he prepared this document in several drafts earlier in the year but hesitated to present it to Gorbachev because he believed his own official standing at the time was still too junior.

	Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yakovlev was born to a peasant family in a tiny village on the Volga near Yaroslavl.
		In 1983, Yakovlev accompanied Mikhail Gorbachev, who at the time was the Soviet official in charge of agriculture, on his tour of Canada.
		Two weeks after the visit, as a result of Gorbachev's interventions, Yakovlev was recalled from Canada and appointed to head the USSR Academy of Sciences Institute of International Relations and the World Economy in Moscow.

		Yakovlev is 80; his gray hair is swept neatly back, revealing jagged lines of thought that converge on his forehead like a geological formation.
		Yakovlev said that an honest textbook on Soviet history could not be written for at least a generation.
		Yakovlev, a man schooled in Soviet bureaucracy, changed his mind because he learned new facts at the time of Khrushchev's "Secret Speech to the Closed Session of the Twentieth Party Congress" in 1956, in which the Soviet leader criticized Stalin's violence, capriciousness, and despotic character.

	Wikinfo \| Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev
		Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev (born December 2, 1923) is a Russian economist who was a Soviet governmental official in the 1980s and a member of the Politburo from 1987 to 1990.
		Yakovlev served as editor of several party publications and rose to the position of head of the CPSU's Department of Ideology and Propaganda from 1969 to 1973.
		As the conservatives gained strength his position became more tenuous until he was ultimately removed from the Politburo and was expelled from the Party two days before the August Coup in 1991.

		Yakovlev tells us that "an honest textbook on Soviet history could not be written for at least a generation.
		Yakovlev is hated by those "who would like to see a return to the old Communist system." He himself fears "that the windows of reform have been closing gradually over the last several years." In Russia, "[t]he past is dead, but not dead enough."
		Yakovlev understands that true democracy cannot be based on force—only on the shared values of an educated public.

	Roger L. Simon: Another OFF Victory for Rosett - "A Matter of Urgency"
		Yakovlev, whose testimony is heavily relied upon by the Volcker Committee report, has been refusing to talk with the press without the permission of Kofi Annan who, you will be shocked to learn, has not given it.
		Yakovlev should be worried if he were being investigated by the Feds or the District Attorney but the U.N. Office of Internal Oversight is the Barney Fife when it comes to a fraud/corruption investigation.
		Any voters sitting on the fence over the Bolton nomination are not going to be enticed to support the Democrats by their handling of this issue, as they simply do not care.

		The majority of the population of Eastern Second Polish Republic was non-Polish, just as majority of population of Western Soviet Union was non-Russian, since those areas were inhabited by ethnically Ukrainian and Belarusian majorities.
		The Soviet Union denied the existence of the secret protocols until 1988, when politburo member Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev admitted the existence of the protocols, although the document itself was declassified only after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1992.
		Stalin, who had feared that the West was encouraging Hitler to fight the East, must have been aware that the secret clause was likely to unleash war, because it freed Hitler from the prospect of a war against the USSR while fighting France and the United Kingdom.
