>>2853969>presidency It needs to be said, that the office of President, was a pure Gorbachev creation, on the advice the traitor-wrecker Alexander Yakovlev. Yakovlev has advocated for a presidency multiple times, he got his wish in 1990.
There is a story of Yakovlev telling Anatoly Chernyaev, [in said man's diary], of Yakovlev convincing Gorbachev, of changing the political system, and taking loans from western countries.
>The Diary of Anatoly Chernyaev: January 28, 1990Chernyaev: On Monday there was PB, discussing the “CPSU Platform” composed by Skakh and me and edited by M.S. The level [of discussion] is hopelessly bad. Although Egor did “quiet down” and was not too aggressive, though he did say that he is strongly opposed to “a multiparty system.”
By the way, M.S. picked new secretaries for the PB: Usmanov, Stroev, Girenko, Manaenkov, etc. “Good guys.” But they shouldn’t be above the level of a mid-level oblast committee. Why should they be in the highest echelon? He himself keeps talking about intellectual potential!
We spent the whole day in his office. He did not give up his positions on the multi-party system and private property, but ordered that we make it “more rounded.” He agreed with me that the term “Marxism-Leninism” should not be allowed into the Platform.
