When your own country sees you as failure yet the world sees you as a hero, maybe your were born in the country that needed you most. RIP, you sir are a hero,
I concur - a truly lovely comment and one so worthy of President Gorbachev. He was such a wonderful contrast to the current incumbent of the Kremlin. RIP
Russia was a Superpower and it turned into a regional power within one month so yeh kinda makes sense for Russians to see him as worsening the situation and to be fair he actually did after the collapse alot of people were starving to death and it created a lot of corruption with the very popular oligarchy.
In 1990 I went to the border between what was still officially East and west Germany. On the wall of an abandoned guard tower someone had written ' thanks a lot Gorby '.
And now 53% of east Germans have stated that East Germany was better after the west german govt deindustrialized their region introduced mass unemployment and paying people in the east 20.000€ less than the 50.000€ average in the rest of the country.
I got back from Berlin just a couple days before Gorbachev's passing. I bought a Berlin Wall refrigerator magnet with "Gorbi forever" written on it. And I decided to google his age.. "Hmm, 91. I hope he lives to 100".
@@chilobaba4406 indeed. He opened the gates for neoliberal capitalism which would lead to the deaths of millions of his countrymen, causing the sharpest peacetime decline in life expectancy of a country in recorded history. The only person more reviled than he is the drunkard, Boris Yeltsin.
It led to the destruction of the US counterweight, which allowed America to start a war in the Middle East, destroy Yugoslavia, Libya, which has already led to tens of millions of corpses and there is no end in sight. His reforms destroyed the economy of the eastern bloc, where countries still cannot restore the figures of 1991. The level of real income has fallen everywhere, the number of poor has increased tenfold. The growth of crime, predatory reform, privatization, wars in the territories of the former USSR.

@SynthSun That is, from the American point of view - Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya and all other military operations are like the events in Tiananmen Square for China - "nothing happened." In fact, refute any of my arguments. Any. And yes, you don't seem to understand how nuclear bombs worked in 1945. Hitting Moscow in the depths of the continent, protected by thousands (trigger warning) kilometers and millions of soldiers, aviation and air defense, against hitting Hiroshima or Nagasaki - these are slightly different military tasks.

Russians should be grateful that this man brought the whole country into the light where Isolation serves no good purpose. Undeniably he made mistakes in his career but understood the price of Peace and Freedom. Gorbachev isn't perfect but it's what Russia and the world needed.

@@---fq2kd Dear friend 10 million dieing of starvation is not the fault of Gorbachev, it's on account of the corrupt political system he had inherited ever since the Communists came to power. How long can a country dole out freebies to it's citizens without an efficient productive system. The imperial rule of the Czar was overthrown only to have a much more cruel dictatorship in the name of the workers. Friend you said 10 million died of starvation but you forget the many more millions who were branded as enemies of the state and killed. So my point is that I consider Gorbachev as a great leader because he acknowledged this and put an end to this cruel dictatorship. Well for all the economic miseries of the Russian people had it not been for Gorbachev, the inevitable could have been postponed for some more time with much worse consequences to follow.
Mr. Gorbachev was a true leader, a true legend, a man of peace, a man of freedom, a real hero, a friend to all. I remember seeing his motorcade when he visited the United States during president Ronald W. Reagan, another great leader. Both were the greatest men we have ever seen of the 20th century. The people in Russia who despise Mr. Gorbachev is because they are still brainwashed and blind, unable to break from the old system and unable to understand that he meant good for everybody. His death is a real loss to the world and those of us who love peace. My condolences to his family/
The memory I have of Yeltsin, Russian leader: he rocked from side to side, because of permanent drunkenness. 2. knocked down Gorbachev and 3. put Putin in power. Greetings from Medellin. Colombia.
The Soviet people changed him for someone who took advantage of a situation for his political benefit, which happened to worsen the situation, sometimes change is not necessarily for good, something we have mastered repeating in Latin America

Gorbachev was not only the president of Russia, but he was the president of the world. We need more people like Gorbachev... Job well done President Gorbachev...
I remember great excitement when Gorbachev came to power. His predecessors were all such elderly men. The dust had long since settled on their brains. Not one fresh idea between them. And Gorbachev did not disappoint. He, and later Yeltsin, set Russia free.....(as best they could).
Yeltsin was a drunken fool. Gorby got the blame for ending the once mighty USSR, but Yeltsin sold it to crooks and oligarchs before it could reform into a modern social democracy.
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN you're right about Yeltsin and Gorbachev put an end to the illegitimate empire called "Soviet Union"....... Gorbachev briefly turned the Soviet Union (formerly known as the Russian Empire, currently known as the Russian Federation) into a voluntary union. When given the choice, nobody wanted to live under the thumb of Moscow. And now Putin has removed that choice......
Looks like a lot of people posting here don't know why the cold war ended, or why Gorbachev enacted the reforms he did. The US under Reagan, started an arms race that the USSR could not keep up with and brought it to the brink of bankruptcy and collapse. Thatcher in the UK also helped with this arms race. Gorbachev enacted his reforms in hopes of preserving the USSR. The collapse of the eastern block, starting with Poland was the final nail in the coffin of the USSR. Gorbachev was no lover of freedom, he was a dictator and the head of a ruthless communist government. Pope John Paul II also played an important part of the fall of the iron curtain. This is what happened, I lived through it and was on the front lines during the cold war in Europe. There has been a lot of revisionist history in the decades since the fall of the communist block. RIP.
Rest in peace Mikhail. I always had huge respect for you! My thoughts are with your family. I hope world leaders and Mr Putin all attend his funeral and make peace again! Come on the world doesn't need war and the ideological practices of governments and those in high places against the people of their countries and the world!

Vlad became so frustrated with what Mr. Gorbachev did, Mr. Gorbachev slipped out of his 14th floor flat.
Nothing sad about it !
He was an ineffective short-sighted "leader" !
The Russians did not think much of him either !
I was 10 years old when the Berlin wall fell. We had a TV and a single news channel. I remember understanding that that moment was very significant. Mikhail Gorbachev was a hero not just for citizens of eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also for people in much of the rest of the world, except sadly in his own country of Russia.

@@sebastianwrites It was completely impossible. He was just steadilly destroying all the sources of his power and he was continiously losing control of the situation. He was just destined to go down one way or the other, near the end of his political carear almost every important party member wanted him out of kremlin. The only question was if he goes down alone or if he takes down the whole communtist party along with him. And the situation of the time just made it all go the disastrous seccond way and eventually lead to a moment of a total collapse of centralized power in the whole country.

Is there any doubt that within the duration that one attains the maximum possible level of innocence (and frees oneself from the self-evident truth that [or, from the "cycle in which"] one's word needs to be edited), that one considers anything which is real (including any inanimate object) to be one's role model, without any "screening process" to prevent one from considering [to be one's role model] those whom one had previously deemed to be ineligible to be one's role model?
Russians should be grateful that this man brought the whole country into the light where Isolation serves no good purpose. Undeniably he made mistakes in his career but understood the price of Peace and Freedom.

@@babblo1389 they were no longer, for the majority of russia at least, since western companies have started their foot holding in the Russian SSR after the declaration of glasnost & perestroika which greatly helped food management.

A politician who was truly committed to peace. A real hero in human history
Mikhail Gorbachev quite possibly single-handedly saved more lives than anyone. He certainly saved everyone a lot of misery and suffering. He is and always will be a hero. Rest in peace.
One of the last great Soviet heroes. So sad he couldn't find anybody with moral fiber to carry the torch, what a tragedy for Russia.

He was one of the better world leaders. His family should be proud of him. It is too bad present Russia and the atrocious Russian leadership does not acknowledge his integrity.

@@---fq2kd Yes Russians are having their last laugh now, under Putin. Unfortunately Russia never deserved a leader like Gorbachev . That's why he found himself a misfit in the Russian leadership. So sad.
@@vinodjoseph7251 Imagine that a communist began to rule the United States and transferred power and all industry and all finances to the Russians - and then dissolved the United States into separate countries - what would you call such a person? - I don't think you'd call him a great man)
the same with Gorbachev - he ruined a great country - turned it into a colony of the United States - 2 trillion dollars were taken out of the country and invested in American industry - uranium gold space technologies everything was bought up on the cheap - during Gorbachev's rule 10 million people died of starvation from unemployment
@@---fq2kd Dear friend 10 million dieing of starvation is not the fault of Gorbachev, it's on account of the corrupt political system he had inherited ever since the Communists came to power. How long can a country dole out freebies to it's citizens without an efficient productive system. The imperial rule of the Czar was overthrown only to have a much more cruel dictatorship in the name of the workers. Friend you said 10 million died of starvation but you forget the many more millions who were branded as enemies of the state and killed. So my point is that I consider Gorbachev as a great leader because he acknowledged this and put an end to this cruel dictatorship.
Well for all the economic miseries of the Russian people had it not been for Gorbachev, the inevitable could have been postponed for some more time with much worse consequences to follow.
He did tear down that wall, helping healing the wounds of the twentieth century. Great human being!
Thank You, Michael Sergejevic! Respect from CZ, Gorbi!
Mr. Gorbachev was a true leader, a true legend, a man of peace, a man of freedom, a real hero, a friend to all. I remember seeing his motorcade when he visited the United States during president Ronald W. Reagan, another great leader. Both were the greatest men we have ever seen of the 20th century. The people in Russia who despise Mr. Gorbachev is because they are still brainwashed and blind, unable to break from the old system and unable to understand that he meant good for everybody. His death is a real loss to the world and those of us who love peace. My condolences to his family/
The world needs more men like him .
Normally I would say a 91 yr old died of old age but......
The memory I have of Yeltsin, Russian leader: he rocked from side to side, because of permanent drunkenness. 2. knocked down Gorbachev and 3. put Putin in power. Greetings from Medellin. Colombia.
The Soviet people changed him for someone who took advantage of a situation for his political benefit, which happened to worsen the situation, sometimes change is not necessarily for good, something we have mastered repeating in Latin America
I strongly suspect that Boris Yeltsin’s drinks were being spiked by his handlers, the oligarchs and ex-KGB purposely kept him drugged and inebriated as a puppet.

Living in Moscow, I often have tears in my eyes recently while listening to the German song "Wind of change". The song is about what Gorbachev did, what I witnessed as a child with excitement, and what the current Russian powers are trying to turn back. My most cherished wish is to live till that "wind of change" blows again and "we can be so close, like brothers". With no turning back.
Yes. We had the chance to all be brothers and sisters. Hopefully that time will come again.

Looks like a lot of people posting here don't know why the cold war ended, or why Gorbachev enacted the reforms he did. The US under Reagan, started an arms race that the USSR could not keep up with and brought it to the brink of bankruptcy and collapse. Thatcher in the UK also helped with this arms race. Gorbachev enacted his reforms in hopes of preserving the USSR. The collapse of the eastern block, starting with Poland was the final nail in the coffin of the USSR. Gorbachev was no lover of freedom, he was a dictator and the head of a ruthless communist government. Pope John Paul II also played an important part of the fall of the iron curtain. This is what happened, I lived through it and was on the front lines during the cold war in Europe. There has been a lot of revisionist history in the decades since the fall of the communist block. RIP.
True?
