Once The Eastern Bloc Collapsed, What I Call 'historical Spontaneity' Prevailed And The Countries That Were Subject To Soviet Control Naturally Gravitated To The West. That's Where They Sought Their Security; I Don't Think There Was A Way To Avoid That. If We Tried To Exclude Them, We Would Have Today Not One Europe, We Would Have Three Europes: One In The West, One In The Middle And One In The East, And The Middle Would Be Insecure And A Tempting Target.

These Files Will Be Subject To Instantaneous Retrieval By The Authorities.
