GORBACHEV: I’ve been thinking again about many things that happened in the past. It was the will of destiny that at the most difficult time that the world was going through, when it seemed that only a miracle could stop the process of confrontation and of tension, we were able together to stop it, and this was done, thanks to the fact that the US leadership, particularly the president of the United States, President Reagan, and the Soviet leadership understood where the world was moving and how far the arms race had gone.

I remembered, when I was there, the history between us. It is really unique. It all began when, after the first meeting in Geneva, we even exchanged some bitter remarks. But in Geneva, two days were enough for us to begin to understand each other, and we adopted a statement saying that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. It was a difficult dialogue. I do not want to be simplistic… But then trust emerged and it became easier to solve problems. And he turned out to be the person [with] whom we were able to get along and then to become friends.

He was a person who had a big heart, a person who had his values, and a person for whom the wish to do something… to make a difference, to support his friends, but in particular to support the mood of the entire nation, this was very, very typical of him. I saw that, and I valued those qualities of President Reagan. He was a wonderful man. He was an extraordinary person.
