Last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev dies aged 91 – BBC News
Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader who brought the Cold War to a peaceful end, has died aged 91.
Mr Gorbachev, who took power in 1985, opened up the Soviet Union to the world and introduced a set of reforms at home.
But he was unable to prevent the slow collapse of the Soviet Union, from which modern Russia emerged.
Tributes have been paid worldwide, with UN chief António Guterres saying he “changed the course of history”. US President Joe Biden called him a “rare leader”.
However, many Russians never forgave their former leader for the turmoil that followed the collapse of the USSR.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

1991 was a pivotal year for most of us who watch this video: Fall of the Berlin Wall; First Gulf War; end of the USSR — three realities that were beyond imagination even one year prior …. Personally, I'm grateful to have witnessed these events myself.

Remember kids the Soviet Union was a very bad place where citizens were encouraged to report each other – the sign of a truly corrupt and evil nation. Just ignore the fact the UK government was encouraging you to all rat on each other during the Scamdemic whilst they carried on breaking all the rules they made up. Truly hilarious how myopic the British Bullshit Corporation actually are.

91 years is a pretty good age. Disappointing that so few journalists seem to have interviewed him and that he wasn't interviewed about circumstances surrounding the fall of the Berlin wall, the discussions regarding NATO and the Warsaw Pact and what exactly was agreed in particularly with regard to the commitment not to move NATO one inch east

Gorbachev was a true communist but he tried to introduce transparancy and human rights to the Soviet Union. Its a shame it failed and it all fell apart.
I heard the invasion of Ukraine by Putin completely broke him down, causing his death.
