Weir’s appointment as correspondent in
1986 coincided with the first beginnings of
the dramatic process of perestroika which,
together with Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy
of glasnost, is changing the face of the
Soviet Union. Weir has won wide respect,
not only among Tribune readers, but also

among other correspondents for his insight-
ful and stimulating reporting.

He has covered a wide range of topics,
from the relief efforts during the Armenian
earthquake, to new share purchase and co-
Operative ownership programs introduced
under economic reform, to the catastrophic
environmental effects of agricultural devel-
Opment around the Aral Sea.
