Was not Mr Gorbatchev a little too easely sucked-in the imperialistic consumerism occidental way of life ! It was good for him to have operated, peraphs, accidentaly the change, first suggested by Nikita Kroutchev without violence. Contrarely to what occidental medias want us to beleive; he will not be remembered in his country, as a savior... Luckily for Russia, ten years later came Vladimir Putin. Best Regards.

How much did GORBY profit personally by scuttling the Soviet Union? Is it true that he is now a BILLIONAIRE? It would be nice to learn the whole TRUTH about GORBY. Is he really a Russian HERO, or is he a villian. The world needs to learn the truth, without all the political correctness that is afforded to most politicians. Please tell it like it is, if the current power structure will allow R. T. to do so.

Ibarruri Here comes the worlds biggest arhitect of counter-revolution, Gorbachov! Imperialism rested great hopes on him and his group, and that is why they come to meet him half way always and give him all kinds of support to lure him further down the road of betrayal on which he has long since embarked. History has not recorded any other case of its kind in which the leaders of the West, the enemies of communism,and the progressive peoples, have lavished so much praise, so much enthusiasm on a leader of a communist party that Gorbachov was, have expressed so openly their approval, joy , hopes regarding his political role and example. This fact alone makes clear who benefits from Gorbachov's actions ,whom his views and deeds serve!
