Gorbachev was the last president of the Soviet Union, and in his hands, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and he withdrew from the political arena as a result. So now that thirty years have passed, how is Russia doing?
Today' last and only living president of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, is a ninety-year-old man with a big doll.
Unlike the situation in which many people in The country resented him, in today's Russia, not many people really expressed their dislike for Gorbachev. As for the reason for his dislike, it is mainly because of his inability to lead economic reforms in those years, and the big topic of what brought down the Soviet Union was the self-righteousness of some self-made sentimental people in The country, and in Russia, the collapse of the Soviet Union was not entirely a bad thing. Occasionally, people who are not satisfied with their lives complain that the current life is not as good as in the Soviet period, and it does not mean that people are willing to go back to the past and live again under the Rule of the Soviet Union.
Others have made a choice as early as 1991, and today some people will reflect on whether there was a better solution back then, but almost no one regretted the collapse of the Soviet Union, but in our country, there are far more netizens than the Russian population, on behalf of the family to regret a lot of pain.
For most people in the former Soviet Union, when Gorbachev handed Yeltsin the button of twenty-seven thousand nuclear bombs, he faded from public view as a political figure. But in the late 1990s, he organized his candidacy for the president of Russia, and about one percent of the people were willing to support him, so whether you like it or not, he can at least be a celebrity, with a political life space far beyond ordinary people.
Economically, some people ridiculed that when 1.8 rubles could be exchanged for 1 dollar, Yeltsin set Gorbachev a retirement monthly salary of four thousand rubles, which was also the highest monthly salary of retired Soviet officials at that time, but soon because of the deterioration of the Russian economy, the ruble collapsed to the point where three thousand rubles could only be exchanged for one dollar, so Gorbachev should swallow the evil consequences of his own brewing. This kind of politician who could once change the world, no matter how the outside world describes his embarrassment, certainly does not include his economic situation.
Despite the country's upheaval and turmoil, retired Mikhail Gorbachev was also a former president of the Soviet Union, surrounded by the corresponding treatment provided by the state, including a service team. Even the people on this service team, at any time, are at the top of the national income, not to mention the former presidents they serve. At the most difficult time for the Russian economy, Gorbachev was still preparing to run for president.
In the thirty years since his retirement, Gorbachev has published a total of eighty books, most of which are mainly memoirs. You look down on him again, no matter how much you dislike him, you can't deny where he was, the events he's been, the world must separately recognize his personal perspective, some words, some things, he has the most authority to say. Therefore, his books, even if they are not literary, are full of nonsense, just because of his former identity, all the decent libraries in the world, will collect, and there is no competitive pressure.
Unlike all the experts on the former Soviet Union, most of the books published are only circulated in the circle, and there will be no comprehensive collection of libraries around the world, only within the scope of their recognition, some libraries will choose to collect, and they also need to compete with their peers. Gorbachev did not use it, and every library would try to consider collecting. This royalty alone, the revenue from the royalties, and Gorbachev's economic situation alone are enough to ensure that he is at the top of the pyramid of seven billion people in the world.
As a public figure, economic pursuits, material life pursuits are only small things, the biggest wish is to return to the center of power, the election for president failed, and official political resources are definitely out of play. However, when he was engaged in new thinking, Gorbachev had comrades and friends all over the world, and even in the Western world, not all of them were monolithic, they were all people who held on to fool him, and the friends of the President of the Soviet Union could be lowered to where? Let's just say that after the transfer of power, Gorbachev fell, right?
Over the past three decades, his friends around the world have helped him establish several foundations and was elected as the first president of the International Green Cross, which has also enabled Gorbachev to maintain his international celebrity qualifications and presence. Many of these so-called world celebrities are old gangsters, and this circle is also a person who is qualified to play, and the ecological circle created for himself after his life, such as the former President of the Olympic Committee, Samaranch, who previously had a book that exposed him, called "The Nobles of the Five Rings", and also described this ecological circle on the side of the cong, but Samaranch in this circle, compared with Gorbachev, is not a heavyweight, the level is different.
In Russia, after Putin was elected, Putin's original KGB identity, his tough personality, all have a heavy Soviet imprint, and he never hides his Soviet feelings, but he is very rational about the topic of rebuilding the Soviet Union, and at the same time very vague. Therefore, his attitude toward Gorbachev will become a kind of clear statement about the soviet-related issues, so he avoids this statement and only treats it politely, but there is a fork in the middle, bypassing the legal issue of the presidency, Medvedev was awarded a medal to Gorbachev when he took office, which is also a positive evaluation of Gorbachev on behalf of Russia.
