Gorbachev：It was definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990.

「NATO拡大に関し、「欧米はゴルバチョフに拡大しないと約束した」というのも神話だ。ゴルバチョフ自身が2014年10月16日に、「当時はNATO拡大の問題そのものが提起されなかった。それは私が責任をもって確言できる」とRussia Beyond the Headlines（露の英語メディア）で述べている。」

  Mikhail Gorbachev: I am against all walls OCT 16 2014

The decision for the U.S. and its allies to expand NATO into the east was decisively made in 1993. I called this a big mistake from the very beginning. It was definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990. With regards to Germany, they were legally enshrined and are being observed.

（どこで読んだか忘れたらから引用ができないが、このとき、まさか、東ドイツ以外の国がNATO加入するとはおもっていなかった、というのを読んだ覚えがある。） 

As you may know, there has been a debate over what was pledged (or not) in 1990. Senior policymakers deny a non-expansion pledge was offered. This new document shows otherwise. Further, by any standard def, "beyond" the Elbe includes E. Europe/areas to which NATO later expanded.

“We had made it clear during the 2+4 negotiations that we would not extend NATO beyond the Elbe [sic],” said West German diplomat Juergen Hrobog. “We could not therefore offer Poland and others membership in NATO.”
