If had he come to power earlier, and the August coup didn't happen, his reforms might have saved the ussr, but it came too little too late, but still a truly outstanding politician, he will be sorely missed
I received a box full of old, unmarked VHS Casettes. While screening them last night i came across this advert, but in Austrian language. I recognized that train station in the beginning, as it was my own daily commute station for some years. The Station itself is Wien Floridsdorf, one of the worst places in Vienna nowadays. First i was like "WTF!? Gorbachev was in my local station?" but then i thought "WTF!? Gorbachev was in THAT station?". Still a cool clip though! Knowing that Gorbachev took the exact same escalator as i did every day to get to my workplace in Vienna Int. Airport, makes me somehow feel proud! He was a good guy by preventing an escalation between the west and east.
@@transitmallproductions1063 Maybe, but he was the first russian leader that thought that ending the cold war would bring benefits to the east and west! That the drunken Jelzin and the totallitar Putin would withdraw from his course is not his fault. In the EU atleast, he is always welcome at political festives and is highly celebrated as a peacebringer.
@@TVCurator Someday if i get another VCR player. The one i have has some issues with an annoying sound, when i find a good one i can upload a bunch of stuff.
I was lucky to meet Mr. Gorbachev here in Vancouver, back in 1993. It was a hopeful time. The world became a better place again for many countries, thanks to him. Let’s hope we can get back on the road to peace soon once more. Rest In Peace🙏
@@user-rl8hf8kt1r warsaw pact countries are that right now. As for the ussr, gorbachev really tried to make it more democratic, until yeltzin came and made everything a mess (yes he tried to make Russisia democratic, but privitalizing everything would also lead to the oligarchs etc and the downfall of both him and democracy) and not to mention putin who made everything worse. Gorbachev tried to make it work. At least Warsaw pact is democratic now. R.I.P. Gorbachev
@@kenji7174 warsaw pact had the USSR in it....and the USSR is nor stable and prosporeas nor Democratic.....so gorbachev made evry thing better exapt his own country (great sucses)
The Soviet Union was not a country, it was a communist Empire forged by the force of the Red Army and the KGB, swallowing a number of countries (Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Estonia, Armenia, ...) which additionally held itself some colonies (Poland, Hungary, Czechoslowakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Mongolia, ...)
Rip to the real one
This is the real one.
😭😭😭
I miss him
yup
I miss him
To think that this legend of a man once was promoting the Austrian Federal Railways is somehow… one fascinating bit of history
Why is he a legend?
@@airsmellnice4133He is not

If you ask me, the USSR was doomed from the start.
@@foundationgamer9771 it's a topic that's up for debate
@@nocturnenugget I should point out that 'if you ask me' are the operating words.
@@foundationgamer9771 yeah, not saying you're wrong, because, well we won't ever know for sure, but its still an interesting debate to be had
From 1986 the economy started to fall I wonder why
RIP Gorbachev. I still can't believe he died just 24hrs ago

And how exactly did he do that? Was the right of a sovereign country to merely exist some kind of “escalation?”
