New York Times hires former USSR leader
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on January 5, 2007 at 10:28 AM
Remember a certain Mikhail Gorbachev, president of the Soviet Union? He’s back in the news, but this time to write about it. The New York Times Syndicate signed him on for a monthly column.
75 years old, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Gorbachev’s articles will probably focus on a range of international issues such as globalization, climate change, weapons of mass destruction and povery.
Gorbachev is already involved in newspapers in Russia, where he sponsored and backs up the Novaya Gazeta, a controversial paper that investigates corporate and political scandals.
