Critics of Mikhail Gorbachev have filed a complaint to the Investigative Committee demanding the launch of a criminal case against the first and only president of the USSR for high treason.

­“It’s quite possible that in addition to the complaint to the Investigative Committee we will also file a law suit. And we call on all citizens to join us,” Nils Iogansen, spokesman for the Trade Union of Russia’s Citizens, the organization behind the initiative, told Interfax news agency. 

He added that a number of activists from the union have organized pickets on the streets of Moscow in support of the initiative. All in all, 25 people are involved in three pickets in different locations in central Moscow. The rallies, sanctioned by the authorities, are aimed at informing the public that the complaint was filed.

“We were preparing this action in advance,” Iogansen said. “Following the 20th anniversary of the disintegration of the Soviet Union we want to remind people of the role Gorbachev played in it.”

Despite his positive initiatives for freedom and democracy, Mikhail Gorbachev has been criticized for economic policies that, among other factors, brought the Soviet Union closer to collapse. He is blamed for the dissolution of the USSR, a drastic move which resulted in economic and political chaos in Russia and the post-Soviet space in the early 1990s.

The Trade Union of Russia’s Citizens is a non-government organization founded in April 2011. It currently has 3,500 members. Among other things, they are calling for the creation of a social justice state, the nationalization of industry, and support for the Russia-speaking population abroad.

Mr James Wellamson, first of all, what you called the great USSR was only another way of saying you approved what they did at that time in history. Your telling us that it was okay to enslave all those Eastern countries for the glory of Russia. Mr Gorbachev did the right thing in giving back the people of those countries their own land. At that time, the Communist party only want protection on their borders. All people want the best for any country who is seeking its own FREEDOM. This is why Mr. Gorbachev at that time did what he felt way right. Do you remember the Berlin Wall back in the 60's ? The hold world celebrated with the Germans, they got their country back. If you think that was wrong, then maybe you should move to a country like Syria, and or Nort Korea, or any other rough state that wants to dictate to its people, and let us know how much freedom you have. A while back I wrote a Commment to RT, asking the Russian people not to vote for a Communist President because of their views.  Recieved a great message back from a Russian News Paper congradulating me on the piece. Now tell me that the Russian people want something the Communist and their dictatorship again. The Russian peopl are not stupid, and they know what they want.  FREEDOM.

Medvedev condecorated Gorbachev 08.03.2012 22:45


On March the 2nd, Medvedev gave a medal and a mention of condecoration to Gorbachov, the worst Judas in the history of Russia. That clearly shows you the true colors of both Medevedev and Putin. None of them are patriots
