According to Russian media, Mikhail Gorbachev, the final president of the Soviet Union, passed away after a protracted illness.
Gorbachev, a member of the Soviet Communist Party, rose to fame as a result of the perestroika and glasnost reforms, which were intended to modernize the Soviet Union but ultimately contributed to its dissolution.
Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. He had a long life and he died at 91.
Mikhail Gorbachev was a well-known politician in Russia throughout his tenure in government and after he passed away. As the only president of the Soviet Union elected, he advanced through the ranks of the Soviet Communist Party.
He was best known for his concepts of “perestroika” (translated from the Russian as reconstruction) and “glasnost” (openness), for ending the Cold War, for removing Soviet troops from Afghanistan, and for leading the USSR at a time when the union was experiencing a complex political-economic crisis that ultimately led to its collapse.
During his tenure in government, Gorbachev worked with the United States to revive the Soviet Union’s stagnant economy, which was plagued by inefficiencies, excessive defense expenditure, and nagging corruption. He demanded immediate modernisation and reorganization, but eventually broadened his reform to include the entire country’s political and social structures.
The United States and the European Union revived Russia which was almost completely economically dead and now Russia is thanking them by being in conflict with them.
