NewsNow.co.uk The Reagan Files Obama vows to preserve open Internet During his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, President Obama promised the United States would continue to support a "free and open Internet" and would call out nations that censor content. On the same day that Commerce Secretary Gary Locke warned an increasing number of nations are enacting policies to censor the Web or block certain applications to protect domestic industries, Obama said the U.S. will always stand up for the individual's right to free speech. Obama said the freedom to assemble without government permission and an independent media are critical to making social progress and holding those in power accountable. "Civil society is the conscience of our communities, and America will always extend our engagement abroad with citizens beyond the halls of government.

The International Non-Govermental foundation for socio-economic and political studies (The Gorbachev Foundation) - Archival and exhibition center - Archive and library The Archives and Exhibition Center (AEC) is one of the Gorbachev Foundation’s structural units. It comprises the Foundation’s archives, library, reading room and exhibition center. The archival collection reflects the evolution of the Russian state and society, mostly in the period from the late 1980s to the current day. The center’s collection of documents is based on the records donated to the Foundation by Mikhail Gorbachev and his family. Given the role the Soviet leaders traditionally played in Russia’s domestic and foreign policies, these archival holdings are an invaluable source of historical information. The Gorbachev Foundation archives include print, electronic, audio and video materials. The archives also include records representing the Foundation’s activities since its establishment in 1992. The reading room holds regular book displays dedicated to events organized by the Gorbachev Foundation. Contacts
