Thus why he got a Nobel peace prize

Hes the best!!!

Gorbachev is not a popular man in current-day Russia. They look upon him as the man who sold them out. Prior to the dissolution of the USSR, the people lived pretty well. Once it collapsed, the people really suffered (for many, to this day). I think Gorbachev knew during this meeting that his empire was in trouble. It came to a point where Gorbachev asked the US and Western Europe for financial assistance. They turned him down, and the rest is history. Socialism/Communism will *always* end in this manner. It was not his fault. He just happened to have been the guy when it ultimately happened.

He is the best dictator lol, but really he is good

@@pittmanfh There has been no socialism in the USSR since 1961, when a political counter-revolution took place and the *dictatorship of the proletariat* was thrown out of the Communist Party program. 1961-1991 is a transitional period from socialism to capitalism. Your statement that socialism always ends with a lack of money is sheer nonsense. The USSR fell into a hole in debt already under Gorbachev.

Ok it was genius

I have the utmost respect for President Ronald Reagan, what grace and respect 🙏

You did not end the cold war, The Eastern Europeans did it.

Gorbachev's mistake was that he allowed the collapse of the USSR. because of this, a lot of wars happened on the territory of the USSR countries: the Chechen wars, Georgia, Abkhazia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ukraine ... Millions died in these wars and millions died of starvation due to the collapse of the USSR. In other words, Gorbachev is a kind and gentle man who killed millions. This also happens in history.

@@gunterodim1535If you go anywhere west of Minsk once a citizen of a Soviet client state of god forbid lived in the Soviet Union he is hailed as a hero that freed them from the shackles of oppression and command economics that led to the deaths of millions under socialisms’ brutal reign. He saw the flaws of the system he had to run and did his best to correct them and throughout all of it he listened to his people in his actions and acted out their wishes, he was a hero regardless of what his predecessors made of the world of hope he left behind in his resignation(also, he wasn’t the catalyst for all the crimes by Russia you listed, that credit goes to Yeltsin and ethnic bigotry that preceded Gorbachev).

Sadly Regans gone but we still have Gorbachev

Trump will do just fine for now.

I agree

Pavel Palazhchenko , a long term soviet interpreter .

Why? Here it was easy, slow and comfortable... that's nothing...

True, the problem was Yeltsin. You should not have supported him.

@@breizhcatalonia1993 haha! we have nothing to eat, we don't have a real freedom and we don't have any garantee that hardlines will not return to the power and 1937 will not repead again, Gorbachev don't try to solve this problems, but trying to turndown the perestroika since 1990, after this, we should not to support Yeltsin. what the f*ck?

@@dungeon_masster. Gorbachev was not the cause of any of that. He just happened to be in office when all the failures of the USSR climaxed. Without Gorbachev, the USSR (mainly Russia) would have been engulfed in a civil war. Plus, you guys got Yeltsin and that is the start of the problems that you have now.

@@dungeon_masster. Really? You're seriously gonna blame the guy who attempted to FIX the USSR by stopping the arms race to salvage the little economy there was. He allowed people to enjoy the world and live in peace without the threat of blowing up the world.

@@casartherandom3010 he allowed it to the people of the east europe, not for Russia, he didnt make any useful market reforms and set hardlines ministres that commited coup in august 91

there was not presidents in soviet union

Alex Kon That’s why the original commenter put that word in all capitals. They were referring to Gorbachev bringing some democracy into the Soviet Union

you just noticed that Gorbachev is scared !! my opinion is that Gorbachev is an agent of the CIA and a traitor to the homeland! Gorbachev destroyed Russia, he destroyed the balance of power in the world.

@Max Wylde it's not bad anymore, reporters do it all the time

Yes

And brought in American tyranny.

Putin doesn't value him - but then he has no integrity, just pure evil.

🙏

He sold the East Europe to West, we become colonies of them.

probably not much, the secret service or kgb would step in, by that time the other person would already have slapped him back (although I doubt any would actually do that). It wouldn’t resorted into a fight as the man were prophet competent enough to realize that would have gained them nothing, the attacker would apologize, and it wouldn’t have any excepts, not in short terms nor in long terms.

I was wondering something like that but more like Ronnie lifting a leg and just letting one rip in that leather chair. No interpretation needed for that I don’t suppose.

@@mikehiggins946 LOL

так рейган и уебал горбачу. ссср развалил

он был президентом и что лучшим был?

All of us are dumbing down.

The 80,s were the best decade in a century,

One can only imagine what even Gorbachev must have been thinking though when the Chinese military unleashed hell on Tiananmen Square. The fact that we continue to work with that barbaric regime is enough to make me almost nauseous. Since Mao walked into Beijing in '49, those monsters have sunk to levels even the Soviets never really went apart from maybe Stalin.

Matt D. you kept it short and said it perfectly. Nothing else need to be said by anyone.

when we did what we wanted. Girls were girls and men were men. Mr we could use a man like Ronald Reagan again. Didn't need no welfare stamps. Everybody pulled his weight. Those were the days

I was 14 years old in December 1987. Still at school. 🙂🙂

I'll tell you that Gorbachev is an evil genius product of the CIA, the Western world greatly overestimates him. what Gorbachev did, he destroyed his country. who is Gorbachev he was originally a peasant son of a peasant. Such stupidity was possible only under the Communist Party, so that the son of a peasant could lead the country. In your country, is it possible that a country could be led by a peasant? Do you have such in history? I do not know.

@Prestallar under the Soviet Union, my mother and grandmother were in prison. In 1978, I also had problems from the Soviet government. what are you interested in?

@@sergeymusatov2752 What kind of problems did you have from the Soviet government if you don't mind elaborating?

@@Bob31415 In 1958, my grandmother and mother were arrested in the city of Tambov for their Christian beliefs, and the mother's younger sister was sent to an orphanage. My mother was 18 when she was imprisoned for 5 years, and my grandmother was 7 years old. In 1978, a schoolteacher found out that I was from a religious family and was furious. The school teacher gathered the communists, and they came to our house, behaved arrogantly, it was the time of the communist party, took icons, church books, asked uncomfortable questions. A few days later, late in the evening, police officers came to us in a truck, put me and my mother in the back and took us to the police station. High-ranking police officers were taken to a large hall, and there we were interrogated by the school administration, I was 8 years old then, and my mother was 38 years old. I will go to the second year, then they will be taken to a boarding school. we decided to be together. then, when I was in school, and this was the time of the communists, I had to avoid joining children's communist organizations, and in October I had to go to the pioneers. I remember how I hid a pioneer tie from my mother, it was always wrinkled, and the teachers scolded me for the wrinkled tie. I did not join the Komsomol because I considered myself already independent. while studying at school, the communists turned me against the children, I defended myself and fought with those who tried to humiliate me

@@Bob31415 Part 2 After school he entered the pedagogical school. I studied to be a teacher of drawing and painting. It was the time of Gorbachev, no one else oppressed me for religious reasons. then it was time to go to the army, my mother said that demons cannot be served, and there is no law in the army. And again they were nervous, they did not serve in the army. And then the country under the leadership of Gorbachev was devastated by people, as if they had been untied, it was a terrible time. yes, if interested, I can tell you how the people of Russia lived and how they survived and what now awaits Russia and the Russian people

@William Cudmore uh, that's a little rude I must say. He was just saying the video was historic.

The problem was that Yeltsin followed him. And America supported the wrong guy with him.

the man practically dissolved the soviet union himself.

Disaolution of soviets was un avoidable. Economic melt down happens coz of comminust design. As nowadays in cuba and venuzualla.

@Burak Tepe, well that is just not accurate. A. Venezuela is socialist in the same way that Germany and Denmark are socialist. B. Cuba is actually doing ok which is impressive seeing as how many sanctions there are on them. C. Socialism doesn’t inevitably lead to economic collapse.

Miałem 17 lat. Więc spójrz na Gorbaczowa, jego oczy są przestraszone. Moim zdaniem agent CIA i zdrajca Ojczyzny naruszyli równowagę sił na świecie. W wyniku jego pracy Rosja została zniszczona. Muzułmanie jadą do Rosji i Europy, to nie koniec. Za 30 lat jedno nazwisko z Rosji stanie się islamem, co stanie się z Europą, nie wiem… Reagan miał rację mówiąc: „Rosja to imperium zła”, ale powiedziałbym, że komunizm to wielki zło.
