Mikhail Sergeyvich Gorbachev (2 March 1931 - 30 August 2022)

A high school course needs to be built around old news footage for both modern history and civics. There is no better way to teach modern history than with mixed media. We don't have footage of Washington but we do Nixon & this us helpful. Why don't US students learn the UK Prime Ministers/Kings in school anymore? Pre 1776 that is American colonial history. They used to have students memorize them for European history

In America, why would you need to know all UK kings and PM's? You don't have to know all the obscure US Presidents. You really only need to know about/of William, Elizabeth I, King George III, Victoria and Winston Churchill. With the fall of UK as a world power at the end of WWII, its not necessary to know who the current PM is. Russian leaders of the past 100 years seem to be of more importance on world events. For the average high school student, not important. It's more of a college level thing.

I didn't even know what a Prime Minister was until my 30's and started hearing the term used more on the news. Or maybe it was because I started paying attention to the news more at that point. Until then, I thought the king and queen still ran the country. I'm still confused about that. Why have a king and queen if the Prime Minister is in charge? The PM is kind of like the US president, right?

RIP Gorbachev 😭😭😭😭

To call Gorbachev a "reformer" is rather misleading. Gorby was not a reformer in the spirit of Imre Nagy in Hungary or Alexander Dubcek in the former Czechoslovakia. Those two leaders understood that reforming their government would mean reforming their economies. But Gorbachev was still very much a firm believer in Communism and didn't want to reform the Soviet economy but the Soviet Communist Party. Yes, Gorbachev did allow limited private enterprise in the USSR but that was mostly to make up for the failures of the Soviet economy. Gorby may have given the former USSR a more human face but he was opposed to market reforms that could have saved the Soviet economy from totally collapsing.

Let's put it in perspective. Gorbachev was the only leader of the Union who was born after the union was formed, meaning the other leaders were alive during the russian Civil War. So in comparison, yes, he was youthful.

USSR was the first socialist experiment. Ever since the 1917 revolution the warring European countries came together to pull it down as they feared the success of the revolution by famished workers and unskilled labourers would foment trouble in their respective countries. Let us not forget the civil war that ensued the revolution from 1917 to 1921 sponsored by England and Germany which were officialy at war! Nations at war but the bankers of either countries were hand in gloves. When the capitalist world plunged into the great depression... Soviet Union made steady progress.a point none of the capitalist propagandists highlight. This is a propagandist video. Yes...The Soviet experiment being the first had its failings. The task it shouldered cannot be fathomed by you and me...

Without Germany there would have been no Bolshevik revolution, and they did not fear the “success” of the illiterate brainwashed suckers, they feared the death of millions of innocent people. The only famished people where the poor innocent Russians, bourgeoisie, farmers, workers. Anyone who wasn’t a Bolshevik. Last time I checked it was Lenin with the rolls Royce not the tzar.
