RIP Mikhail Gorbachev

Former USSR Presiident Mikhail Gorbachev has died at 91.
Mrs Thatcher described him as "A man we can do business with""

RIP

Ronald Reagan told him "tear down this wall" in the days when US Presidents wanted walls down rather than up.

He changed the course of history by ending the Cold War. RIP

A very interesting guy to listen to and I once had the privilege to meet him very briefly. A true world leader who changed the course of East West relations for the good in his time.

I can imagine talking to him you would get a sense that he wanted East West relations at point where there was some trust between both sides.
Single - handedly ended the Cold War. Did he talk in English or did he have a translator?

^ He had a translator

R.I.P

A leader who saw that uniting people was important and let the Soviet Union fade into obscurity, it's a shame others can't see that as a positive.
