fergie001:Putin never liked him. However Putin should have learned from him on the futility of authoritarianism. Those who don't learn from history will repeat it. History has always shown us that all forms of authoritarianism will eventually fail in the future. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

Faithful007:Putin doesn't seem to me as someone who wants to learn. If it were possible for him to reclaim all those nations that left the USSR, including Eastern Germany.... I am sure he will be very glad. 13 Likes |

The youngest and last of Soviet leaders. He tried to reform the USSR through perestroika and glasnost just to prevent the union from collapsing, but the growing protest and tension at home following the the invasion of Afghanistan was too much for the young and inexperienced Gorbachev. Boris Yeltsin quest for power also lead to the fall of the soviet Union. Some see him as a weak leader while others see him as a hero because the union collapsed without the firing of a single rifle. 34 Likes 4 Shares |

All of una that ain't Russian is celebrating someone who is a russian. You all are stupid. Very stupid. No one will ever know or say more about Mikhail than russians. Whatever russians says about him stands. Irrespective of whatever western media paints him. Just like how Buhari is destroying Nigerians and people from Niger is praising him. Let us leave russians for russians. He was hated in Russia. Charity beings at home. As far as Russia is concerned, russians has the best history of their former presidents. And their stories is the truth of events concerning Mikhail Gorbachev. 39 Likes 5 Shares |
