Ferenc Miszlivetz, the founder and director of the Institute of Advanced Studies Koszeg has sent a condolence letter to Pavel Palazhchenko who was a long-time close associate of Mikhail Gorbachev. Palazhchenko was Gorbachev’s chief English interpreter from 1985 to 1991 and stood beside him during the crucial and final years of the Cold War. Eventually, Palazhchenko became the head of the Gorbachev Foundation or the International Non-Governmental Foundation for Socio-Economic and Political Studies.
Pavel Palazhchenko is a member of the iASK network as he has been contributing to our main academic events, including the International Summer University and UNESCO MOST Winter School.
