On August 19 ​ — just five days before our convention was to begin — ​ Mikhail Gorbachev, then president of the USSR, was arrested while on vacation near Yalta, not far from where we were.
augustil, kõigest viis päeva enne meie konvendi algust, arreteeriti Jalta lähistel tollane Nõukogude Liidu president Mihhail Gorbatšov, kes seal puhkas. Luba konvendi pidamiseks tühistati.
