I was honored when I was nominated and won the Nobel Peace Prize in nineteen-ninety. I was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize due to my principals, such as Perestroika. In Perestroika my idea of Glasnost allowed the people to be open and speak a bit of their mind more. It was the first step to the end of communism, as I no longer believed that communism would withhold without change. Many in the satellite states were becoming tired of communism and looked forward to change. I realized change was needed in order for Russia to continue on as a world superpower as communism was destroying the Russian Economy. My principal of Perestroika and Glasnost gave the idea of letting the satellite nations have their own election to either be a democracy or a communism state. All of them chose democracy, as communism was slowly dying; however I believed that they would have stayed communist due to their gratitude. However they did not listen and look what happened to Yugoslavia, it was torn apart and it was engulfed by war. I believe I have done right and that I do deserve this award, however I wished there would have been different results. I have lifted the physical barrier and mental barrier between East Europe and West Europe. All that is left is for Europe to reconstruct and merge together as a whole once again. My ideas and principals allowed me to end the Cold War. I am grateful for this award but I still wish that things didn’t have to turn out this way.
