This is a sad occasion.

I do encourage everyone to watch the documentary on Gorbachev. They interview him in it, too.

We missed a decent opportunity to work with Russia at a key point in time.

He really liked Reagan.

I respect him. It all could have gone down in a blast of fire, but instead he let it go mostly gently.

Ended? I think they misspelled “surrender after defeat”.

Mikhail Gorbachev, who ended the Cold War without bloodshed

Reagan and Thatcher ended it...Gorby had little choice in the matter...

oh, Gorbachev ended the Cold War?? It had nothing to do with Ronald Reagan, Peace through Strength or Pope JP2 for that matter.

Good to know Gorbachev decided to end it all.

One could tell there was a strong and sincere friendship between Gorbachev and Reagan simply by Gorbachev’s kissing Reagan’s casket at his (Reagan’s funeral).

See how that propaganda creeps in?
It’s harder for us, the ones who lived through history.
We remember how it was.

Russians, in general, even today, still have a high regard for Reagan.
