"Yet western leaders, when meeting him personally for the first time, were astonished or even freaked out at how “un-Russian” he was.

Why people, especially the Right Wing political leaders, are obsessed with high & glittering posts, even if held by despicable traitors & criminals?

Now our task is proletariat #Revolution in our respective countries.

Michael Tracey on Twitter: "Toward the end of his life, Mikhail Gorbachev began warning that the world was at growing risk of nuclear catastrophe, mainly due to the breakdown of US/Russia relations. Gorbachev used to be revered in the US as a heroic statesman, but his recent warnings have been ignored. RIP https://t.co/Ch77BzZ64b" / Twitter

"Mikhail Gorbachev was one of the most influential political figures of the 20th Century.

He presided over the dissolution of a Soviet Union that had existed for nearly 70 years and had dominated huge swathes of Asia and Eastern Europe."
