Mikhail Gorbachev: Former Soviet leader dies age 91 'after long illness'
Mr Gorbachev's crowning achievement is seen by the West as ending the Cold War without bloodshed, but he failed to prevent the break-up of the Soviet Union - a fact that makes him a divisive figure among many in today's Russia.
RIP
Russia could do with a Gorbachev right now.Very sad news this, especially given ongoing events:

A man who truly loved the Soviet system but had the capability (and, importantly, the balls) to make sensible decisions to try and save it through peaceful means.

Those in power today could learn a lot from him.
RIP Comrade
True, but don't tell that to a Russian. Time and history will smile on Gorby, I hope.
He didn't have much of a hand and he played it better than many others would have. Then the coup leaders beclowned themselves and Yeltsin became a hero before he became a fool. Then the looting of the state. So very much looting. So very much state. So very drunk Yeltsin.
I imagine he'd say he's surprised to have made it through in one piece. RIP. Talk about the before times, those were the before times.

All his hard work undone in 6 months, RIP
There's negative sentiment towards Gorbachev from within Russia because in their eyes he helped to facilitate the decline and collapse of the USSR.
As popularity for the ol' Soviet empire grows, it's not surprising that their view of him would lessen, which is a shame because he did so much good.
