Maybe that's why Gorbachov has been living in America for the past 10 years, along with Stalin's daughter and Krushchov's son?

I hope that the New York Times, Pulitzer winning reporter, the late, great Walter Duranty, spins constantly in his dirty commie grave.

I think it's the loss of super-power status and it's a particularly Russian thing. What's the saying about them either being on their knees or at your throat? If Stalin rose from the dead and ran today he'd be overwhelmingly elected.

It's all kind of academic and ancient history now, isn't it?
Russians don't like Gorbachev, because he destroyed "empire".
To: Grzegorz 246
That's interesting because I remember reading that Russians had/still have great respect for Reagan.

Interesting, I didn't hear about it, but 50% of Russians think that Stalin was OK.
To: elbucko
Problem is, at least with Gorby, he's still a commie and makes millions (go figure) on $1,000 a plate lectures.

I think the issue isn't that they didn't want reform, everyone wanted reform. It was the type of reform: the socialist, pie in the sky reform that destroyed the nation.

It's all kind of academic and ancient history now, isn't it? Gorbachev is still very active in the international arena. Do a search on his foundation mission statement and activities.

Perestroika destroyed USSR, Russians think - RBC, 15.03.2005, Moscow 15:47:13.Almost a half of all Russians (48%) believe that the USSR's collapse was Perestroika's main consequence, an opinion poll, conducted by ROMIR Monitoring in connection with the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Soviet political reforms (known as Perestroika), has shown. Thirty percent of the respondents believe that the country lost its status as a superpower as a result of Perestroika.
Hmmmm....
Russians mostly dislike perestroika + Perestroika destroyed USSR = Russians miss Soviet Union?
What's wrong with my logic jb?

As usual you see the trees not the forest. When people complain it destroyed the USSR, they're not complaining about the screwed up Soviet Economy or Soviet Government (try as you can the Communists only garner 13% of the vote and have been dropping for the past 3 elections). They're complaining about the national integrity.

Your simplistic trash can logic misses one important fact. The Russian people will never go back to communism. They more than any other people know communism does not work.

Not really.
The cause is the same though you should look at the other consequence of Gorbachev's politics.
Lots of people do not like Gorbachev, becuase after his reforms they found themselves in dire straits. No jobs, no money, no medical service. And what is the worst of all - absolutely no future.

Gorby should be standing trial in a Vilnius courtroom.

Well, I do not know about integrity, but people were a helluva lot friendlier than now. Like in the Bible "nor Hellenic, nor Jew". They simply did not make the difference based on who you are by birth. Now they do.
