Reasonable article recently on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany: Fall of the Berlin Wall: The Iron Curtain fell because of Mikhail Gorbachev – yet today he is despised as a traitor by Russians
It does continue to surprise me that attitude of bother Russians and Westerners towards Gorbachev, and I could easily add Khrushchev to the equation. In some way, it reminds me of the attitude of Americans towards President Obama. Too much of the status quo being threatened.
