From AFP:
The last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Friday accused the United States of drawing Russia into a new Cold War and said he feared hostilities could escalate into armed conflict.
"America... has already drawn us into a new Cold War," Gorbachev said in an interview with the Interfax news agency. "Unfortunately I can't say for sure that a Cold War won't lead to a 'hot' one. I fear they could take the risk."
EDITOR'S NOTE: A careful reader, Travis Johnson, rightly pointed out that while the "New York Times" piece highlights a situation that some members believed threatened to create "splits," it appears to be a stretch by @lginiger to describe actions by the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies -- insisting on a board vote before approving fellowships that would include Cohen's name -- or other actions taken as described in the "Times" article as "discipline." Further, Mr. Johnson also notes that as a professor emeritus of Russian studies and politics at New York University, tenure is not an issue. Thought we should clarify that. Thanks, Mr. Johnson.
