Mikhail Gorbachev has Died

I know who this dude is, can't say that about the rest of the woke history cancellation non contributing members

 

Do you post crap just to hear yourself talk? At least contribute to the thread.

 

People you thought were already dead ftw

 

He was a good man.

 

I was always impressed how completely he stayed out of the limelight once he left office. Granted, he was always more popular in the US, but that's more self-control than I could muster.

Maybe that's a skill you learn (how to keep your mouth shut) growing up as a young Communist party member.

 

If you had asked me an hour ago I honestly would have assumed he died 20+ years ago.

 

Looking back, I get the feeling that he really wasn't free. I mean as free as a mobster who came clean after knowing where all the bodies were buried.

Freaking Yeltsin. I guess they were all crooks, just in varying degrees and competencies.

Rip Gorby. He tried to give off a dignity neither side had a vested effort in reciprocating.
