Personal assessment: When Mikhail Gorbachev as a blank slate came to power, his public appearances with me initially triggered a suspicion, for it seemed as though there were a second time only the lump-sum trial of the history and theory of new unit.
The "April plenary" (1985), however, Gorbachev said, one criticism of the system and demands that real change to the "socialist Pluralism "inevitably made, the fact since the founding of the Soviet Union as Trotskyism, sectarianism, fractionism, revisionism, subjectivism, were petty bourgeois and so condemned and persecuted was.
but also failed in the socialist pluralism and the vision of" socialism with a human face on " domestic policy of concepts and resistance on the one hand, but also ideological inconsistencies and the systemic weaknesses of the state monopoly socialism in competition with capitalist managerial companies, then reached that Gorbachev more and more social-democratic views.
As much as he blamed Russian nationalists, they not the vast empire of the former Soviet Union maintained before the break to have, so is the merit of his policy in favor of self-determination of peoples, such as the German reunification.
His greatest achievement, however, to end the dangerous brand of unpredictability always played down East-West conflict, for which Gorbachev rightly deserved and received the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize.
If such a ranking can make any sense, Gorbachev would be the best and most important politicians of the 20th Century.
