Abstract

This article analyzes the political significance of the life of Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-1922), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1985-1991), Head of State of the Soviet Union (1988-1991) and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1990). It reflects the irreconcilable opinions about Gorbachev: on the one hand, he is praised as a “liberator”, a “democrat2, the man who freed the world —even temporarily— from the nightmare of the atomic war; on the other hand, he is branded as a “traitor” and a “wimp”.
