Manipulator behind the collapse of USSR

In 1970s and 1990s when the Cold War was raging high between two large camps, the Nobel Peace Prize was used as an important tool by the West to propaganda Western values and pressure the Soviet and other countries, which was awarded many times to "democracy, human rights fighters". 35 years ago, on Oct 9, 1975, the prize was awarded to Andrey Dmitriyevich Sakharov, who was known for being against his own country. 20 years ago, on Oct 15, 1990, the prize was again awarded to another person who pushed his homeland to disintegration –former president of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev.

The prize, awarded by Norwegian Nobel Committee, found its way in 15 years first extolling dissidents in the Soviet Union to the former General Secretary of the Communist Party, and at last to some Western "democracy and human rights" advocates, where the circle of the prize awarding track around the globe was started. The trail, though devious, reflects a somewhat stiff principle of certain forces related to the prize. From awarding a political dissident to the leader of the communist party, the factors behind the prize were significant changes in international politics but not the shifts in attitudes and life philosophy of the committee members – the Soviet Union retreated from Eastern Europe tamely, changing its position from a competitor and enemy in the Cold War to a constructive partner of the West who make concessions. Gorbachev was exactly an advocate of such concessions and naturally he became the most suitable candidate.

Most cases during the Cold War demonstrated that the Peace Prize became a "political card" which had totally been "ideologized". It has nothing to do with "peace" and may even have gone the opposite way against it. It's a camouflage some use openly to subvert and disrupt under the name of peace to the end of exerting impact in terms of public opinion, splits in ideology and social instabilities in the Soviet Union and other socialist countries guided by a major strategy of coordinating US-USSR confrontation. The facts again prove that until today, the committee's appreciation of the Cold War mentality hasn't disappeared with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the war.

A political tool of westernizing and separating China

The Nobel Peace Prize has so far been awarded to two Chinese – the Dalai Lama and Liu Xiaobo. The former is a representative of separatist and the latter is a criminal who instigated subversion of state power and violated Chinese laws. In March, 1989, the Dala bloc abet severe riots in Lhasa; in June, supported and instigated by some Western forces, political unrest occurred, followed with political isolation, economic blockade and other suppression methods by Western countries. And in October, the Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize at the "right time". The chairman of Norwegian Nobel committee declared at the time, the move was to influence China and to acknowledge Chinese students' efforts in pro-democracy activities. He also admitted the reason behind the Dalai winning the prize was mainly about politics but not based on the issue of human rights. He also declared it was also a kind of "punishment" on Beijing. Obviously, that the Dalai became the prize winner was a political "reward" for him, but also a part of the general plan of Western forces in overall suppression and polarization of China.
