Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union, has died in Moscow at the age of 91. He is remembered in Russia as probably the most controversial Soviet leader. Some people adore him for the unprecedented freedom he gave to the Soviet people. Others hate him and put the blame for the collapse of the Soviet Union solely on his shoulders. He was one of the driving forces behind the end of the Cold War in 1989/90. He changed the course of world history with his twin policies of "glasnost” - "openness” - and "perestroika” - "restructuring”. But in the end he will never be celebrated as a great leader, simply because he failed his main task. Let's discuss the things Gorbachev accomplished, the things he failed to do, and the things he wanted to do.

Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
