The missing icons if a new democracy

astmonth I was one 0£20 speakers at a three-day conference in Moscow on "The Anatomy of Hate." The ~onference brought political and academic leaders together to mark the 50th an~versary of the. German invasion of Russia, and I was there at the invitation of The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humamty and LOgonyok ("Flame" in English) magazine to give my paper, "Global Civic Virtues: The Language of Democracy." This was the fourth gathering organized by Wiesel, the Nobel Peace Prize-winner for whom the college's endowed chair in Judaic studies is named, to address the issue of hate in the modern world. On our last day in Moscow, we had the privilege of meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev in his private office. He was subdued, dignified and deeply. concerned about his country's future. He spoke about his own evolution toward "new thinking," his book, Perestroika, and the situation in what we now call the former Soviet Union. While he talked, I noticed two empty picture hooks on the wall behind him. We later learne~lthat onl~ a few months before, these hooks had supported portraits of Marx and Lenin. The wall is empty nor and n a certain way I think there is a feeling of emptiness among the Russian people. There are no new pictures to put up on the wall, no new heroes. There is no clear understanding of what is supposed to happen next. Yet there is a very clear understanding that what has been happening during the last 75 years iIi the Soviet Union is antithetical to human life. Gorbachev was very specific about the relationship between pereslroika a d the importance of human rights. And he particularly focused on the danger of destabilization because of food ~horta es this winter. To give you a perspective on how serious the situation is there, let me tell you about a meetin I had during my visit with a young woman who taught briefly at Connecticut College this fall as an exchange profess r. She said that either she or the woman who lives with her family would get up at 5:30 each morning and Jait on line from 6 until 8:30 to buy 2 liters of milk. Then she would go to work. If the winter continues as it has and there are riots in the streets over food, Gorbachev was ve~ concerned that the army will be called out. Oleg Kaludin, a high-ranking official in the KGB, told us several times tl at although the leadership has changed, the whole KGB system is still in place. If there is an uprising, the ann could e called in to maintain the peace. The KGB and the anny together could create a force that would move th coun away from democracy and modernization. The official called on the U.S. to step forward and help. Gorbachev also talked about how his book, Perestroika, came from his gradual recognitio that ountries with the broadest human rights also had the strongest economies. Among those countries, he also realizfd, the ones that were not investing heavily in military defense were doing f best of all. He said he began to see a connection between morality and politics, between human rights and economic strength. He began a move toward increased civil rights for the Soviet people. What does it mean to befree? [was struck as I spoke with the members of the conference organizing committee about how little real understanding there is in Russia about what freedom means. Fonner U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock, who finished his tour of duty in August, told me a story that illustrates this point. He said he had been walking with the mayor of St. Petersburg near a river and noticed people swimming where there was a huge sign that said, "No swimming. Danger!" "I turned to the mayor," Ambassador Matlock said, "and I asked, 'Why are people President Gaudiani and Sigmund Strochlitz (on Gaudiani's right), a Holocaust survivor and a member or the college's Wiesell Chair Advisory Board, met continued on page 60 Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow.

here are spots on the Thames River that look as untamed as a river in northern Canada, where the striped bass still run strong and osprey swoop down to capture baitfish for the fledglings. Then you go around a bend and smokestacks rise into the sky, jarring you back to modern Connecticut. That is the nature of the Thames, a river running 15 miles from the confluekce of the Shetucket and Quinebaug Rivers in Norwich to Long Island Sound at New London ana draining 1,500 square miles of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Just when you think you understand the Thames, you tum a bend and your view changes. In a sense, the Thames is really two rivers. From the surface to six feet deep, the water runs 'steadily south. Below that, the dark green water hides a constantly shifting current, sometimes north, on the incoming tide, sometimes south, as the tide goes out. The water at the bottom is saltier, denser, and a different temperature, the line bl tween the two layers as sharp as if it was solid.

But there is also pollution here, an estimated 500 million gallons of effluent a day from 350 known sources in its watershed. That doesn't count oil and chemical spills: During one recent is-month period, there were 69 spills of up to 25,000 gallons each, some of it material so toxic even a tablespoonful could kill an adult. "For an industrialized river, it looks pretty good," said Henry Rines of Applied Science Associates, a Rhode Island company that has done research on the river the last several years. "But it is a degraded environment. There are times the oxygen level in the Norwich basin drops to zero, when fish cannot go to the bottom to feed and the bottom itself is impacted because it has gone anoxic rime and time again, and it never really recovers. All you'll find is some black, smelly mud."

swimming there? It's dangerous.' And the mayor said, 'Well, you know, now everyone - are free so they can do anything they want. '" Another person told me it soon will be unsafe to drive in Mos:ow because red lights ar being ignored. Some people think freedom means they no longer have to obey traffic signs. r tell you this because I think we don't understand what the Russian people need to know about freedom and democracy. They don't know about civic responsibility, about the importance of a state that is)ruled by law. As Francois Leotand, former French minister of culture, said, "They don't understand that the stare doesn't make justice, but that justice makes the state." I would like to see a group of scholars and decision-makers begin to write an lntematio al Bill of Rights with the kind of specificity in it that the ZOO-year-old U.S. Bill of Rights has. We in the U .$. have to be much clearer in teaching values to emerging democra- cies. We have been too subtle about the importance of morality in politics over the last 40 years. The language of hate. On the first day of the conference, the past chan- cellor of Germany, Helmut Schmidt, and Alexander Yakovlev, Gorbacbev's pri- mary adviser for the development of Perestroika, spoke. Fifty years earlier, Schmidt was a young soldier in the CD German invasion force and Yakovlev was a Russian defending Moscow. Now they sat side by side on the anniversary of that invasion and told how the language of hatred had prepared them to i fear, to fight, to kill. J In and out of the conference, we talked about ethnic and religious hatred. President Gaudiani is interviewed by John Sablan of Hartf~rd'sWVIY TV. Gaudiani was ... one of the last Westerners to meet with Mikhail Gorbache" before he stepped down, We talked about anti-Semitism.

[Ed. note: See President's Page, November.] An important outcome of the Moscow meeting is that a set of scholars lnd political leaders have come forward and asked to join our project. I have invited Ambassador Matlock to speak at the college, and I know that w will enjoy hearing his insights on Soviet events from the Helsinki agreements of 1975 through the last days of 1991. We also will convene a conference to deal with the death of Communism - rot so much the political changes that are going on in Russia but the philosophical change; a re-examination of what Marx predicted would happen and what, in fact, did happen. The United States has a great challenge ahead. Our leadership following World War II focused on the Marshall Plan and other post-war assistance for Europe and the Pacific Rim. Now the Cold War is over, and it is again time to take a leadership role in aiding our fellow world citizens. This time, ideals of human rights and civic virtue will be more crucial than sharing technology and economic skill. And those ·th a liberal arts education will be best prepared to lead the way. •
