One of the most legendary figures of the 20th Century for sure! With his birthmark, Gorbachev became the portrait for diplomacy, cooperation, and world peace. RIP
FYI he blamed the new cold war on the USA and said you people need your own Perestroika, "With Yeltsin, the Soviet Union broke apart, the country was totally mismanaged, the constitution was not respected by the regions of Russia. The army, education and health systems collapsed. People in the West quietly applauded, dancing with and around Yeltsin. I conclude therefore that we should not pay too much attention to what the West is saying." “Americans have a severe disease - worse than AIDS. It's called the winner's complex.” “We had 10 years after the Cold War to build a new world order and yet we squandered them. The United States cannot tolerate anyone acting independently. Every US president has to have a war.” -Mikhail Gorachev
@@kneegerman2076 Btw, there have been 387,072 civilian deaths due to the direct result of U.S. conflicts post 9/11. Not all these deaths were at the hands of the U.S. or allies. Many of which were American civilian contractors.
June 9th 2005 - 'As world leaders and other notables for that time, in turn approached the casket in which Ronald Reagan had been laid during his state funeral, a little figure stood alone in the Capitol rotunda entranceway. When it was his turn, Mikhail Gorbachev approached and stood in front of his old counterpart for the last time and privately said a silent prayer to his departed friend.' That quiet humble moment in time was so incredibly moving, and now with Mr. Gorbachev's passing a monumental chapter in human history (The Cold War) comes to a close with the departure of this great man! да благословит вас господь михаил горбачев!
What a disgustingly horrible and contradictory quote that is. That kind of thinking is what our country is suffering from now. Thank goodness he is dead.
One of the most legendary figures of the 20th Century our deepest condolences and sympathys to the Mikhail Gorbachev familys rest in peaces Mikhail Gorbachev

Ronald "Stationed in Hollywood for the War" Reagan spent much of his time as President at his California Ranch cutting brush with a chainsaw (because his image handlers didn't know anything about cutting brush). The Cold War was a fraud, it kept us busy, fearful, poor. Now? US Jobs are in China (tell me, what political system do THEY have?) . I was in the 10th Grade when Ronnie got elected. No Social Media yet, just Internet working in a few Labs. The desktop computer came out around then as well - also having NOTHING to do with Reagan but it stimulated the economy because paperwork needed to be digitized. TV told me to love Reagan, I obeyed but before Reagan left office *I hated that miserable, lying pukestain and his trailer trash wife.* Tom Cruise's "American Made" is insight into but one reason why. Reagan dismantled the New Deal and if he hadn't, no one would be a MAGA idiot. They would be part of a single income family and middle class like their parents. Russians killed the most Nazis. Plug that fact and the others I wrote about into a search engine.
If he was so good for the people and he was the one that ended the cold war and was a treasure to the world then why didn't he get elected in 1996 ???? that should tell you the truth...
Great leader, his efforts, to promote world peace, to end the half century long global conflict and to refrain from the use of force against the people are the hallmarks of a great political leader of the 20th century. RIP Mr. Gorbachev! Prayers from Pakistan.
A TRIBUTE TO GORBACHEV He had the absolute power to destroy the lives of ordinary people. He even had the power to destroy the world many times over. He was worshipped like a demigod and his command was obeyed like the word of god. He had reached the point in his life where nobody could question or disobey him... but, instead of abusing his power like his predecessors He chose to use that power to serve mankind. He chose humanity over despotism and chose peace over war. He saw people as equal to himself and realised that people have as many rights as he does. He felt the pain and suffering of ordinary people and chose to change the demonic system by giving people rights to live as free men... It was his moral courage and his wisdom that made him take on the establishment knowing full well that he might end up paying the price with his life, and the total destruction of his family. But he risked everything for a just cause. I SALUTE TO HIS COURAGE, HIS WISDOM AND HIS HUMANITY. ua-cam.com/video/GLujNV-9cf0/v-deo.html
Gorbachev was rather heroic, I always thought. Some (Russians) may want to revise history and state that the USSR coulda/shoulda stuck out the Cold War, but that sounds like others (Americans) who say the country should’ve stayed in Vietnam. Bull, both. It took a man with MG’s sense of ethics to wind it down. I’m no Reagan fan, but he also deserves credit for going against the hawks of the day and talking with MG, May he RIP.

Many people suffered because of the break up of the soviet union he caused. Wars are still fought to this day because of this singular event (i.e. the donbass war, nagorno-karabakh).

Mikkhail Gorbachev was the only Soviet leader who put the people of the USSR ahead of his own personal gain. Communism requires a leader to hold true to the principles. MG was hhe only one who did it and look what happeened.
Yes! Thanks to Gorbachev the former soviet people now live in Oligarchies! I'm sure they all love the 39 post-collapse wars, revolutions, and bloody protests!
Reagan spoke those words in front of Wall that was left still standing at the time. His staff didn't want his speech to be a gaffe. Reagan was adored by (all) the Networks that he gave Tax Cuts. They were happy to promote the Reagan myth. I was witness to it all.
Sold his homeland to die in a foreign land🙄. Traitors do not receive popular respect. I do not envy his life, it's scary when you remain despised by millions of people ... even after death.
Not many know that part of history. I was born two months after Reagan was inaugurated. The irony is that Gorbachev has witnessed NATO continue to try to move all the way up Russia's border when he received assurances three decades earlier from the Reagan administration that with buffer States between west and east, NATO would not move a single mile to the east. He lived long enough to see the consequences of that.
Those countries willingly, democratically, and unilaterally asked to join NATO. It doesn't "expand" in a conquest style manner like you're insinuating. If Russia had a problem with it, maybe they should have offered more to those countries over the years other than aggression, belligerence, and political headaches. Always the dorks crying like babies when people wanna join the cool kids club🤷🏾♂️😎🤙🏾

True transformational figure, but don’t forget Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, the Pope and thousands upon thousands who stood for the truth at risk of their own lives (many of whom lost them).
Reagan wouldn't tell the Truth if it was written on the teleprompter. The English are somewhat more informed about the myth of "the Iron Lady" versus the truth. I was watching the night that Sinead O'Connor sang her second song as musical guest on SNL. She held up a picture of Pope John Paul II, tore it in half and said to the camera : "Fight the Real Power". She was absolutely *vilified* by the media. I knelt before God every Sunday (Take THAT, NFL criticism of Kaepernick) until past high school. Alter Boy, Catechism. I wasn't angry, I wanted to know more. Decades later, the Media finally locked onto the Sexual Abuse Scandal and rolled all scandals into "the Church" instead of making clear which Church. Sometimes it was Catholic, sometimes not. Not one network nor print media however, ever apologized to Sinead O'Connor. Food for thought if you so far, doubt my Comment about Reagan.
Gorbachev died. His legacy? Russia's GDP dropped by 40%. Real wages halved. Poverty ballooned from 2.2 million in 1987-88 to 66 million in 1993-95. Millions died under the brutal regime of privatization and shock therapy. Half a million women were trafficked into sexual slavery.
Russia's or the Soviet Union? Remember that Russia was a horrible place and then stole country after country. Those other countries were the backbone of the USSR. They were the engine. Once they went, Russia was left as the caboose. Perestroika was an effort to modernize Russia's failed economy. It didn't work. Why? Because Russia is a horrible place. It always has been. Their whole society has stayed the same for hundreds and hundreds of years.
One of the most legendary figures of the 20th Century for sure! With his birthmark, Gorbachev became the portrait for diplomacy, cooperation, and world peace. RIP

Ronald Reagan was instrumental in the end of the Cold War. Couldn't have happened without him. That relationship, Reagan's leadership, was pivotal.
Death squads in El Salvador, Reagan was an acting puppet, who watched tv instead of run the country, what a waist.
Ronnie is the blueprint
Agreed. The Gorbachev-Reagan team work was instrumental in the process of the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

Their whole society has stayed the same for hundreds and hundreds of years.
