He was and more pally with Regan.

Russia came a long way with Gobby Chops in charge

Except it lead to the rise of the Russian Oligarchs who snapped up a lot of the newly privatised industry, which undid a lot of the good along with Putin.

Don't know why you have to squabble on this thread - TWIMC

That seems to be the way of the forum now. Someone starts a thread and then they have to switch it and start arguing. I think Gorby was a great man with a vision to bring Russia into the real world, R.I.P.

Gorbachev tried to modernise a crumbling Russia when he became President.  

 

On the news it said he got on well with Regan.  When  both men were no longer in power they remained good friends and  Gorbachev stayed on Regan’s ranch when he went to visit him.


Somehow I can’t imagine  Gorbachev being happy with Putins policies at the moment.

 

RIP

When you look at the calibre of the big three leaders then - Reagan, Thatcher and Gorbachev whether you agreed with them or not they were true statesmen (or women) compare these to the likes of Johnson and Biden now. 🙄
