RIP Mikhail Gorbachev
quote:
Mikhail Gorbachev, who ended the Cold War without bloodshed but failed to prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union, died on Tuesday at the age of 91, Russian news agencies cited hospital officials as saying.


quote:
After visiting Gorbachev in hospital on June 30, liberal economist Ruslan Grinberg told the armed forces news outlet Zvezda: "He gave us all freedom - but we don't know what to do with it."

One of the giants of the 20th century.

And Grinberg was quite right. Russia failed Benjamin Franklin's test ... "A Republic, if you can keep it."
