collapse due to economics,
to single-party rule, to
bureaucracy, to the arms
race, to losing the
technology race, but due
to the fact that no one had
to face the consequences
of their actions.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev

31. Partnership

Aalto students’ motivation, talent,
openness and honesty, and encouraged

with the teachers, to create a learning
community with a passion for learning and
discovery.”
- Martti Raevaara
