Giulio Andreotti e Helmut Kohl, la riunificazione tedesca: ricordo di eventi e lezioni per oggi

Abstract

At the news of the fall of the Wall, there was joy in London, but also alarm over the balance of power in Europe and Gorbachev’s fate. Thatcher’s self-criticism over reunification complicated the Iron Lady’s personal relationship with Kohl. It is a consequence of how the reunification took place, today’s revanchist Russia: a more gradual approach might have favored Gorbachev’s reforms and a more open and constructive Kremlin.
