Great amazing documentary. Fools are those who opposed Gorbachev. At least Gorbachev sleeps real well at night knowing he did things right. It's no wonder he travels the world today being invited to speak to the world about his term as General Secretary.
I think Russia's transformation to democracy would have been much more successful under Gorbachev's rule than Yeltsin's.
Gorbachev was a smart leader, Yeltsin was a drunken monkey. One of Russia's worst moments came after this, under Yeltsin rule. Yeltsin should get credit for his strong opposition to the plot, but that is where his achievements stop, after that it was all rubbish.

Gorbachev was a much stronger and smarter leader.
