Mikhail Sergueievitch Gorbachev ou Gorbachev GCL é um político e estadista russo, mais conhecido por ter sido o último líder da União Soviética, entre 1985 e 1991. Durante seu governo, as suas tentativas de reforma, tanto no campo político, representadas pelo projeto Glasnost, como no campo econômico, através da Perestroika, conduziram ao término da Guerra Fria e, ainda que não tivessem esse objetivo, deram fim ao poderio do Partido Comunista no país, levando à dissolução da União Soviética. É o último líder da União Soviética ainda vivo.

Entre as principais medidas tomadas por Gorbachev, estão a campanha contra o alcoolismo, a retirada das tropas soviéticas do Afeganistão após quase uma década de guerra, a anulação da condição da União Soviética como um Estado socialista e a conivência com as reformas políticas neoliberais nos países do Pacto de Varsóvia, a chamada Doutrina Sinatra, que culminou na queda do muro de Berlim, em 1989.

Mikhail Gorbachev: Frases em inglês

“The aims and ideals of the Soviet revolution inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of millions of people in the 1930s, during World War II, and in the postwar reconstruction period. This explains the Soviet Union's great leap forward, the achievement of a high level of industrial capacity in a very short time, the transformation of the Soviet Union into a major power in terms of science and culture. The historic victory in the Great Patriotic War against Nazism, which was a surprise not only for Hitler but also for the Western democracies is also explained by what we have said above. All this is true. But the historical truth is also that the regime and the system abused the faith of the people in these high ideals, turning them to its own advantage. Rule by the people, equality, justice, and the promise of a happy future — all these ideas were utilized for the sake of maintaining and strengthening totalitarianism.”

1990s, On My Country and the World (1999)

“To demonize all Soviet "leaders" at all levels, to portray them as unqualified villains and evildoers, unprincipled self-seeking scoundrels who were indifferent to the interests and needs of the people — that is a shallow and frivolous approach. Of course there were villains, quite a few of them. But most of those who came to power had the intention of serving the "toiling masses" from which they themselves had come. That the system rendered their aspirations useless, reduced their efforts to nothing, and ultimately snuffed out their finer impulses — that is a separate question.”

1990s, On My Country and the World (1999)

“In the end, the “model” that came into existence in the USSR was not socialist but totalitarian. This is a serious matter to be reflected on by all who seriously aspire to progress for the benefit of the human race.”

1980s

“It is time to consign to oblivion the cold war postulates when Europe was viewed as an arena of confrontation divided into "spheres of influence" and someone else's "forward-based defences", as an object of military confrontation — namely a theatre of war.”
