Russia's greatest priority IMMANUEL WALLERSTEIN[American sociologist and world systems analyst]: Mr President, you started out by saying a democracy is a process. You spend some energy indicating how different things were from the times of Brezhnev to today. My first visit to Russia was in 1981, which was the very end of the Brezhnev era, so I can agree with you that Russia today is quite different from the Russia that I first encountered. In your description of democracy as a process, you indicated that Russia had made progress but needed to make still more progress, and it seemed to me that what you were talking about is what we usually refer to as the amount of civil liberties in a country the degree to which people and groups feel that they can participate, speak out without fear, put pressure on the government in various ways, etc., etc. Now, as you are very well aware, the degree of civil liberties is not merely a function of what goes on in the country and the attitudes and policies of the government, but it's also a function of the degree of geopolitical tension in the world. We know that when tension goes up, civil liberties tend to go down; that's as true of the United States as it is of Russia, as it is of any other country, and we have all been suffering in recent years because of that.
