I am the eye witness of his era, 1985 went to study in USSR and he came into power in early 1985, what ever was left from Soviet economy started vanishing, there was no food, clothes, only very big ques for every thing. His both Glasnost and prestroyka utter failure. Everything foreigners brought to the country was the only import. The biggest disaster was the collapse of USSR 1991. Everything he did was in favour of the USA and west, 1991/1999 was the most dangerous time, The mafia, Chechan war, loots on the streets were the consequences of Prestroika and Glasnost and so on.

how do you define 'a country' ; USSR was around 15 countries that were socialist republics and modern day russia has around 20 different ethnic regions that should be countries, like tartarstan. The british government invented new countries, India, Iraq, UAE etc that were new political units that historically were many countries because it suited their purpose; btw the UK is made of four different countries plus london

As a Chinese we thank him for making so much Soviet scientists and intellectuals come to China due to shit life after collapse（Even now in North China many University still have alot ex-Soviet professors） They were a unexpected treasures

Imagine years of curriculum teaching this. Of course we were happy when we saw Regan and Gorbachev shaking hands, it was real! From there there was just a step to revolution and freedom and chance.

He allowed the Americans to dictate the terms of disarmament to Russia, and as a result, Russia lost a significant part of its strategic weaponry, including new modern nuclear submarines, intercontinental ballistic missiles (IBM). He dismissed the Eastern block, without even getting any paper-written guarantees of non-expansion of NATO to the east, and now NATO is at the very borders of Russia, threatening its sovereignty. He left Afghanistan defenseless and crippled and as a result, this country turned into a center of instability in Central Asia, a breeding ground for terrorism and drug trafficking, which caused a real "heroin epidemic" in Russia.

@@jsr4320 uhh.. do you even know anything about the Russian decommunization? Their lives were an example of how society was supposed to evolve into greatness until the union dropped. The streets became COD maps with all the killings going on,the mafia took everything over,Russia became authoritarian,and they attacked Georgia,crimea,and Ukraine. Capitalism ruins countries,JSR

Weak politician who lead to the disbalance of the current situation, who was not able to rule my powerful country. No regrets about him, who canceled all efforts and victims of my people 🇷🇺♥️

You're right. After the collapse of the USSR, doctors, scientists and engineers became waiters, homeless, toilet cleaners, janitors etc. People were unemployed and many millions lost their source of living. A rise in big business mafia and criminals took place. The fall of the USSR is one of the most devastating humanitarian crisis of the last century.

There are some world leaders and senior politicians around the world who are adored and celebrated from abroad but loathed and hated in their own countries.

Because he was a treator to Russia.

He lost the Cold War by surrendering, which is ok but got nothing in return for Russia - was neither here nor there, neither a communist nor a capitalist. The actual loser of massive human and material resources of ww2 and its actual winner still treated like pariah by the Europe that Russia saved.

We saved their a$$e$ and they turned around and stabbed us in the back. We should have let Hitler and Tojo have Russia and China. They would have made it something more useful than what they are today.

Do you have the video of Boris Yelson compelling Gorbi to sign something important?

Imagine if it was the other way-around if somebody disentigrated the US and ended the cold war that way

If Gorbachov had not split USSR there would be no Ukraine and no war of Ukraine.

Well he did not want to split the Soviet Union he was preventing it even when he open the borders, it was the Coup d'etat that did it

He is hated for his failure to preserve the union, but he is lauded for he had done God's work even with all the power he once had since he was seated as the head of the union.

You mean Americas work . The whole dissolving of the Soviet union may be appealing and work well if it was done smoothly and slowly . After Gorbachev's little stunt . Things went wild over there . Joblessness, inflation, mafias running the show . He should have found a way to make things smoother .

The KGB also failed ussr by not dealing with him

Gorbatchev is litteraly the opposite of Poutine.

Putin, stands on the shoulders of Great Men like, Mikhail Gorbachev. I do know, a lot of romantic Russian people blame, Mikhail Gorbachev for the collapse of the Soviet Union, but as far back as the 1960, Soviet intellectuals were aware that the Soviet Union had serious structural and economic problems, which if not corrected would lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev brought in those reforms, but it was, too late to save the Soviet Union.

The economy of the USSR grew during the 1960s, to reach 60% of the US economy in 1970, a very rapid growth from the devastation of WWII. They created a model that other countries were interested in learning from. The old economics textbooks used to have a representation of trading off guns for butter; that is what essentially happened. A socialist economy cannot compete in capital formation with a behemoth like the US, and hence cannot match them in an arms race. Trying to maintain military strength against the US is what bankrupted them. You even see that in the more social democratic countries of Europe. To say they rely on the US for their defense, and can afford social programs for that reason, isn't a lie; that they have no choice but to create a world where it is necessary to rely on anyone's army to that extent raises more complex questions. Indians clearly see through that game, by the way.

Every country has structural problems that if not fixed will lead to the country's collapse. It's just that the good leaders solve these problems and don't just roll over and leave. I'm not a fan of the Soviet Union but Gorbachev just threw loves of hundreds of millions of people to garbage. That's why he can never be forgiven.

A leader who disintegrate his own country is a fool....

Why would you call your video like this? Why would you lie saying that Russians hate him?!!! I am Russian and I've always admired him ever since I was a child, all my family and friends in Russia regard him very highly. Why do you make this thumbnail which is not true?! Russians don't hate Gorbachev? He was a breath of fresh air!

Bet they celebrate Yeltsin probably. What an upside down world.
