I don't know how credible he is today though........
When Putin became President Gorbachev widely and openly criticized his regime. What has changed now? Is he threatened and controlled by the leader of Russia prime minister Putin and his assistant president Medvedev..... (Those two even walk in the same way LOL)

  • He became just a puppet, dont u see .... Ok, let say Obama will divide/separate USA into 10 small countries, after that he travel to china to live there and sometime he will celebrate separation of USA ... Will americans accept that as an good idea?

  • @Kornd0g8 +80% approval = banana republic, not real democracy

  • Gorbachev is perhaps one of the greatest person in recent history. He transformed communist Europe..he achieved a task that the Europe & West could only have ever dreamed off..We owe the end of Socialism and the cold war to this great Russian..Who could have imagined the Soviets voluntary withdraw from Afghanistan, freedom for East block countries, the fall of the Berlin wall, etc

  • Ohh ive seen both..

    im not pro capitalism..

    but i will never want that "freedom" what USSR had , it was an dictatorship and mass people control... and mindfuck.

  • No....It has been a slow change to democracy, mainly under Gorbachev.

  • Putin has managed to get the country back to its' feet after a huge crisis in the 90s, both economically and politically - that's a fact and Gorbachev just aknowledges it. Gorbachev threatenned ? -lol ! He ran much bigger risk of assasination when he started the progressive reforms many years ago.

  • So you're saying that Russia is a free polity even though the government controls the media and most of the executive branch is staffed by ex-KGB (including Putin)? We know Yeltsin bribed his way to re-election. Putin is even more ruthless. Putin's "extra" powers are real and not simply influence over his puppet Medvedev. Russia has never been a law-based state which is why the constitutional separation of powers is here rendered meaningless. Lay off "Russia Today." Maybe you'll learn something.

  • You've lived in North Korea? Because that's the only country with an operative communist system in your lifetime. Here's a question: if communism is desirable and better than the alternatives, why was it necessary to limit emigration - travel even - from communist states? Why was it necessary to build the Berlin Wall? Why was it necessary to lie to the citizenry about events that happened in the past and the present? More to the point, why was communism always imposed and not adopted?

  • I've lived under Communist and Democratic governments. The truth is, there is more freedom in Communist community. Your society feeds you with a bunch of bullshit about Communist govenrment, so that you will take a credit from a bank and work everyday to stay alive. You will never understand it, because if you haven't seen other shoes, domestic ones are the best.
