The last Soviet: What legacy for Mikhail Gorbachev? • FRANCE 24 English

Can a single person change the world? Yes, is the consensus after the passing of Mikhail Gorbachev. And change it for the better, claims the West: the last Soviet leader boldly brought the USSR in from the cold: reforming and agreeing to independence for satellite states, all without bloodshed.

Mikhaïl Gorbatchev was, is, & will in time & history, be seen for who he is; a true Global 🌍World Hero committed to true peace & a non violent World. Most significant revolutions to overthrow corrupt regimes throughout history have been by a ‘revolved’ populace who finally rise up against the statist violence against them & revolt, usually with bloody conséquences. Mikhail Gorbatchev created a one man top down révolution and for the first time in modern history had the personal wisdom, vision, Coeur~age, Heart wisdom to know that Stalinist Communism was a violent morally bankrupt anti human, anti environmental, anti personal freedom & worst experiment in human history that had to be ended. I believe we need to create a World 🌍 Medal Of Peace & Freedom for individuals, NGO’s & Governments who are committed to Global COMITY, Peace, Freedom, Individual liberty & autonomy, the safety, rights, ‘Thrivival’ of the Global Commons Ecosphere ~ and Mikhaïl Gorbatchev should be it’s First Recipient. Vladimir Putin & his puppet Oligarchs are raping the beautiful Russian people & the Russian commons, they can be summed up in one word ~ Evil . PEACE will prevail in the end & Mikhaïl Gorbatchev will be remembered as one of its modern day heroes. David Ford, New Zealand 🇳🇿

Anastasia Shapuchina??? I couldn't figure out if she is Russian or Ukrainian. She completely sold out her soul to a higher bidder. Even French ambassador was symphatetic to idea that the West cheated Gorbachov.

Gorbachev rest in piece, you were the light in the dark and showed the best in humanity. Gorbachev were the good and Putin the evil, what a waste for not only Russia but also for the world.

I’d think he would have been proud that so many have embraced socialism.
