This article reads like it was written by Cohen's mother. I placed "the foremost" in front of "scholar" with "a". There are many Russian scholars in the world-- the U.S. Secretary of State, to name one. Cohen's writing style is flamboyant. In Russian, it could be described as "styob" or "стёб." The claim that Cohen is a "close personal friend" of Gorbachev seems doubtful. This should be changed to "is a very deep admirer."

I agree. And perhaps this word "Publicy" should be "Publicity", I'm not sure though, but I do think it's a typo. I won't edit it, just to be sure. Эйрон Кинни (t) 10:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
