Mikhail Gorbachev, last Soviet Union president, dead at age 91

🪦🙏

Had Gorbachev risen no further than a middle level provincial Communist Party functionary he would have lived a blameless life, the Soviet Union would still exist, and there would not be a war in Ukraine. However, according to party workers who knew him in Stavropol he was out of his depth as a first secretary, and thus had to delegate his duties to his subordinates. As a member of the Central Committee and Politburo he was part of a team, which limited the amount of damage that he could do, but once he became the all powerful General Secretary all constraints were removed from him. In this position he had total control over every aspect of the economy, society, and the military thus allowing him to wreck the Soviet system and bring the Soviet Union to it's knees.

Theyll appreciate this when were fuzzed up

The dog died

Gorbachev the killer of USSR

He was one of my heros....as was Regan...we need these type of thinkers today. We have gone a drift.

Age 91

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (2 March 1931 – 30 August 2022) was a Russian and Soviet politician who served as the last leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to the country's dissolution in 1991

We need the anthem with his burial

It says a lot about a person’s character when the enemies of his country loves him, but his country hates him.

Who was the frist president of Georgia

After Soviet Union mr Gorbachev where president

I hope this guy goes to hell, he ruined so many lifes and destroyed the soviet union

Gorbachev, Reagan, Tatcher, and the Queen are all probably together right now talking and laughing 💔😢

First, Mikhail Gorbachev died, then 9 days later, the Queen died, imagine losing 2 extreme historical figures in just under a month

He gave us Russian college white girl virgin bitches. Thank you, comrade Gorbachev!

CNN is SO FULL ON BULL CRAP as always lol

People in Russia consider him a traitor. He sold his country and his own soul to US. Broad opinion btw

As Ukrainian I love him , he gave freedom to us and other nations 🇺🇦

Gorbachev and the Queen dies in the same year.

First him. Now, Her Majesty.

Bozo

Majority of russians hates him.
But for americans he is a superhero becouse he helped USA to beat USSR

Rip, the host with the most glasnost

Rest In Peace Gorbachev. He was a great man.

I told mikhail gorbachev has died one week ago and now queen elizabeth ii has died too they were a good leaders rip we will miss you mr.gorbachev and you too my queen

The irony on all these was that the hardliners on the Duma where the one's who pave the way for the final demise of the USSR. Maybe if the changes where made by Brezhnev the USSR will still alive. But he's legacy still alive as Glasnot and Perestroika are the core of Putin government. In that sense the changes overcome he's time. RIP.

He did what he could. He came into control of a failing nation. Surrounded on all sides, he had been cornered. Ths only way forard, was down. RIP to this amazing man. Fought until he could no more.

Queen Elizabeth Died A Week Later When Gorbachev Died

I heard had his emissaries get A Rosary for him from the Franciscans at Assisi. ( the home of St Francis. I believe)

GORBA

Watch this AOC

I applaud Him

God

FYI: A friend who knew about Americans smuggling people out of atheist Communist East Germany said as they would kill East German guards they would say:
"OH my God." So 70 years of atheist indoctrination, didn't drive out of people's hearts

Gorbachev is a best president

I know the USSR did a lot of bad things, but, I feel like this was the best Soviet leader, as he was the first one to think about dissolving the empire, thinking about Democracy, independency, so it’s very sad to me that he has passed now.

Rest in Peace Товарищ, you will be missed.

Gorbachev was the successor to Breshnev, Kosygin, Suslov and Suslov. Who really had power in the USSR in 1964-1982 is not entirely clear. But neverless throughout his term as the General Secretary of the USSR from 1985-91, Michael sat daily in inner counsels and cabinets of Generals, Intelligence chiefs and 'politicians' who were politicians only in the sense that Kattlebrunner, Muller, Goring, Speer, Goring and Borman were politicians. I doubt if these inner counsels were ever in Gorbachev's time more civilized than in the days, Stalin often, introduced Kruschev as his court clown and thug and openly described him as an imbecile. Which was Stalin's general view of his satellite administrators Honecker and Kim Sung. Stalin introduced his KGB boss Georgia Beira at dinners as his personal Himmler and Heydrich. Beira succeeded Stalin for 100 days. He announced wide ranging reforms and revelations of Stalin's attrocities. Beira was arrested by Eisenhower's 'friend' General Zurkov. Kruschev and the Portibulo ruled on immediate execution by firing squad Gorbachev was no more generous in the 1980s to Russians who had been passing information to the US Intelligence. They got a bullet in the back of the head, immediately, when arrested.. Throughout his 6 year tenure Gorbachev continued to bankrupt Russia developing a complete reequipment of the Soviet military with Akula, Sierra, Delta, submarines new Migs and Sukhois, Backfire and Blackjacks. Within two weeks of announcing the first huge cuts to the defence budget, halving it, to the Portbulo in 1991, Gorbachev faced a military coup. His last remark was he defended the Soviet Union to the last bullet, he was an unreformed communist, and had no other intention. Had he expressed any other view in the inner counsels of the USSR he would not have lived a day and would have been eliminated, faster than Hitler or Heydrich would have, without bothering with imprisonment or a People's Court trial.

Looks like a bird shit on his head.

I remember when Mikhail Gorbachev became the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. I was a teenager when that happened. It was Gorbachev who brought the end of the USSR.

All theater folks.

Crooks on the west liked him more than anyone on the east...

The greatest Russian there ever was. He acknowledged that his county simply cannot keep pouring funds into the arms race anymore, was willing to make peace, let the Eastern European countries decide for their own future. Mikhail Gorbachev was a good man, he was a proponent of democracy and freedom, RIP Mr. Gorbachev.
