In 2001, the relatively new Russian President Vladimir Putin went to Germany and gave a visionary speech in Bundestag, the German parliament.
He talked about forgetting the Cold War and building a peaceful and prosperous Greater Europe.
“Today we must say once and for all: the Cold War is done with!
We have entered a new stage of development.
We understand that without a modern, sound and sustainable security architecture we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continent, and without that atmosphere of trust there can be no united Greater Europe!
Today we must say that we renounce our stereotypes and ambitions and from now on will jointly work for the security of the people of Europe and the world as a whole.”
