Grigory Yavlinsky on Mikhail Gorbachev
Grigory Yavlinsky’s Facebook page, 31.08.2022
Mikhail Gorbachev gave us freedom. He gave freedom to hundreds of millions of people in Russia and around Russia, and also to half of Europe. We bear responsibility how we in Russia took advantage of the freedom given to us, this great opportunity.
Few leaders in history have had such a decisive impact on their time. During his six years in power, Mikhail Gorbachev changed the world.
Gorbachev did not leave Russia. He would have been accepted with enthusiasm in any country, but he remained in his homeland, where it was extremely difficult for him because of mass misunderstanding and rejection.
And further. Gorbachev, who had unlimited power, did not steal anything from his country and his people. When money was needed for his charitable foundation, the President of the USSR appeared in commercials. Having passed the test of power, Gorbachev managed to preserve his dignity and remain a Man.
Thank you, Mikhail Sergeyevich! Let your memory last forever!
