Description:
This memorandum records a meeting between the general secretary of the CPSU, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the general secretary of the BCP, Todor Zhivkov, in Moscow. Points made by Gorbachev include: the necessity of radical political changes for the Soviet society, the need for the CPSU to expand on the new party line, and concern about the success of Socialist reconstruction in Bulgaria and alleged wishes to transform Bulgaria into a "mini-FRG" or a "mini-Japan". In response, Zhivkov confirms the country's support of Soviet perestroika within a framework specific to the Bulgarian situation and voices concern regarding Turkey's military dominance.
