  • The death of Mikhail Gorbachev is widely being mourned as the loss of a champion of freedom who helped end the Cold War.
    But the legacy of the last leader of the Soviet Union is very different at home, where many view him as the man responsible for its collapse.
    His passing received a cool response in Russia.
    Many people there regard the war in Ukraine as necessary to regain some of the power the former USSR lost when it fell.
    Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra
    Guests
    Pavel Felgenhauer, Defence and Military Analyst.
    Maria Lipman, Russian editor and political analyst.
    Donald Jensen, director of Russia and Strategic Stability at the U.S. Institute of Peace and a Former U.S. Diplomat in Moscow .

    The legacy of Gorbachev can be sum up in a few words, he left the Soviet Union on it's knees and the developing world at the mercy of the US empire.

      😒 Without him, you'd still be standing in endless lines for food rations and don't know what a smile looks like, dumb sh$t. You'd never have access to smart phones, RUclips, the Internet (all Western inventions including electricity, refrigeration, aerospace, engineering, movies, television, vaccines, etc.)

      🤔 Strange that we don't see the developing world risking their lives to immigrate to Russia/China instead of all waiting at US borders. Perhaps no one wants to become Russian or Chinese because you guys haven't invented anything of benefit to mankind in thousands of years?

    My heartfelt Prayers 🙏 to the late Mr. PRESIDENT Gorbachev of Russia ( Before the Soviet Union), your family & the people of Russia. There is so much to learn from the world 🌎 history which I did not pay attention while I was growing up and during my adulthood. My salute to your legacy. Rest in peace.

    Depending on where you stand. I don't think those who made Germany divided will be more praised than those who worked for the reunification of East and West Germany. I don't think those who fought for against the American federation will be more praise than those who fought to keep the Union together. Aren't we witnessing some nations in the West imprison people who wants to be sovereign?

    In 1990 Gorbachev ordered the slaughter of over 200 peacefully protesting civilians in Azerbaijan's capital Baku They were mowed down by their own military tanks in a similar manner to the Tienanmen Square Massacre. Several months later Gorbachev was awarded the Noble Peace Prize. The man has blood on his hands.

He was already old and sick when Ukraine invasion happened, I don't think he was in any real position to speak out anymore. Not to mention, Putin will destroy his family if he did.

You're probably ignorant of how the Magnitsky Act came about and how it's being used at an international level to keep all of Putin's $ and war chest overseas.

    people forget that the putch against him that u brought glory to yeltsin and diminished gorbachov as yeltsin succeeded to end it and made gorbachov a shadow of himself canceled any hope for the soviet union.the men that wanted to bring back the soviet union old days contributed a lot to it's demise. so putting all the blame of the end of the ussr on gorbachov is unfair.we can't know what would have happened if the revolt that failed would not happen.maybe gorbachov could still save the soviet union.maybe not.and by the way no one asked what the non russians who were citizens of the soviet union think about gorbachov.

    صلاة
    العالم الروحيُّ هوعالم رغبات. في الوجود يوجد رغبتان إثنتان:
    ١ - رغبةُ الخالقِ في إِغداقِ البهجةِ والمسراتِ الكاملةِ على خلِيقتهِ.
    ٢ - الرغبةُ في تلقيِ الملذَّات والسرور الكامل للذات وهي “الإِرادة في التقبل” التيِ خلقها الخالقُ والتيِ تدعى الخلِيقة أَي”المادةُ” أو جوهر الإِنسان.
    لا يُوجد أي شيءٍ في الوجود بجانب هاتيِن القُوتين! فكلُّ ما بإِمكاننا إِدراكه وحتى تصوره ناتِج عن هاتين القوَتين الروحيتينِ. رغبةُ الإِنسان تدعى “صلاَة”. فالرغبةُ في داخل الإِنسانِ دائماً تستغيث وتناشد الخالق.
    فالروحيَّاتُ هي ما يُنميه الإنسان بالتوافق مع صلاته. ولكن صلاة الإِنسان الحقَّة هي سؤلهُ وطلبتهُ في أن يصَحح الخالق رغباتهُ الأنانيَّة ليكتسب عليهِ سمة المحبَّة والعطَاء، السماتُ التي يتحلى بها الخالقِ.
    صلاةٌ
    النفسُ ليستْ إلاَّ رغبةُ الإنسان المُصححة والتي هي بارتْزُوفَهُ الروحيِّ ورغبتهُ بقبول نور الخالقِ بنيَّةٍ صافيةٍ على أَنَّه يتلقى منْ أجل الخالق وليس لنفسه.
    صلاة الملك داود بن يسي
    ارحمني يا رب حسب رحمتك.حسب كثرة رافتك امح معاصي.
    اغسلني كثيرا من اثمي ومن خطيتي طهرني. لاني عارف بمعاصي
    وخطيتي امامي دائما.
    اليك وحدك اخطات والشر قدام عينيك صنعت لكي تتبرر في اقوالك وتزكو في قضائك.
    هانذا بالاثم صورت وبالخطية حبلت بي امي ها قد سررت بالحق في الباطن ففي السريرة تعرفني حكمة.
    طهرني بالزوفا فاطهر.اغسلني فابيض اكثر من الثلج.اسمعني سرورا وفرحا.
    فتبتهج عظام سحقتها. استر وجهك عن خطاياي وامح كل اثامي قلبا نقيا اخلق
    في يا رب وروحا مستقيما جدد في داخلي. لا تطرحني من قدام وجهك وروحك القدوس لا تنزعه مني.
    رد لي بهجة خلاصك وبروح منتدبة اعضدني

    This is the only anchor on Inside Story I refuse to watch. He's got creepy eyes; he grunts when guests talk; his voice is creepy; he's rude. Put him behind the camera or fire him. I thumbs down any video he is on. Al Jazeera has a lot of talented anchors. He has zero talent, other than scaring people away from Al Jazeera & toward your competitors. I spend time watching foxnews, france24, 60 minutes Australia, & PressTV when u have that fool on. Notice how people thumbs up my criticism of him on other videos. People do NOT like him. He is an outcast at al Jazeera.
