We Russians obviously bear the most responsibility for the USSR's collapse, but America should also be called to account. When change came, instead of following a slow democratic process, Russia replaced its discredited communist model overnight with a Harvard-designed blueprint that was also unfit for the country.
俄国人自己当然应该为苏联的崩溃承担主要责任，但美国人恐怕也脱不了干系。当变革到来时，俄国没有经历缓慢的民主改革进程，而是在一夜间就用哈佛描绘的蓝图取代了臭名昭著的共产主义模式，而这种新的模式也并不适合我们的国家。最终，俄国尝到了失败的苦果。
