1991年12月25目,米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫在苏联业已解体的情况下发表了电视讲话,宣布辞去其苏联总统职务。在他的电视讲话结束后不到20分钟,一队士兵降下了克里姆林宫上的苏联红色的锤子、镰刀国旗,作为一种历史的象征,这意味着由列宁亲手缔造的世界上第一个社会主义国家已结束了自己的历史。这不能不引起人们对于社会主义前途和命运的普遍关注,也引起人们对改革前途和命运的思考。 On December 25, 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev made a televised address when the Soviet Union was dissolved and announced his resignation as president of the Soviet Union. Less than 20 minutes after his televised address, a troop of soldiers lowered the Soviet red hammer and sickle flag on the Kremlin as a symbol of history, which meant that the first society in the world, personally founded by Lenin, The nation has ended its own history. This can not but arouse people's widespread concern about the future and destiny of socialism, and also cause people to think about the future and destiny of the reform.
