If someone is held in a KGB prison, it’s probably because they are a good person, not a bad person. Alone in that prison, I couldn’t help but think of two presidents, Putin and Trump, talking privately for two hours about their power and how to wield it. In the 1980s, a young Vladimir Putin was a rising star in the KGB, working right there in Germany when this prison was full of unjustly incarcer

Back in the 1980s, I traveled throughout Eastern Europe wearing a pin that said “я люблю горбачева” — “I love Gorbachev.” And now, at the age of 91, Mikhail Gorbachev has died. Like American Hippies flashing the peace sign in the 1970s, that phrase seemed to be everywhere in Eastern Europe in the 1980s and 1990s. With this great reformer in Moscow, downtrodden masses across the Warsaw Pact — from Warsaw to Budapest to Leningrad — sensed that freedom was suddenly possible. More than any other fig

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power.
