Summary: Toppling Totalitarianism: The Sakharov-Reagan Model with panelists Yuri Yarim-Agaev, Philip Siegelman, George P. Shultz, and Mark Palmer. The panel was part of a conference hosted by the Hoover Institution entitled The Soviet Dissident Movement and American Foreign Policy during the 1980s.

The conference will analyze the joint effort by the Soviet dissidents, Western democratic government, nongovernmental organizations, the media, academe, and the cultural community, which helped to bring down the Soviet communist regime.

The conference will examine basic guiding principles of those groups and consider whether their successful experience could be applied for solving problems with current totalitarian regimes - Hoover Institution
