Mr Gorbachev, who became Soviet leader in 1985, is best known for opening up the USSR and for his rapprochement with the West, but he saw his country collapse in 1991.

Re: RIP Mikhail Gorbachev
I'm not sure the second of those was intentional. RIP.

Re: RIP Mikhail Gorbachev
RIP.
Oversaw one of the most turbulent political periods anywhere at any time. One can only wonder if Russia would be in the mess it is today had Gorbachev retained more control and power for longer for a more orderly and sustainable transition. Or whether it’d be unrealistic or impossible.

Re: RIP Mikhail Gorbachev
RIP Mikhail as if only Russia had someone of your political calibre today.

Re: RIP Mikhail Gorbachev
My favorite moment of his is when he went to visit George Bush Senior to deliver him a housewarming gift and instead found the former President wrestling with a local oaf.
