Gorbachev was probably a well meaning naive fool, he really didn't know the devils he was dealing with, he paved the way for that drunken arsehole Yeltsin who sold his Country to Oligarchs and foreign Corporate jackals who were looting Russia, then came along a new Sheriff Putin, he stopped them and rebuilt the Country and demanded respect, that's why those criminals in the West hate him.Bla-bla-bla. Another set of stupid cliches.
I'm Russian, I voted against Putin, and there are plenty of reasons to do so, but fighting against NATO expansion and Ukrainian Nazism - is one of the things that I (and any sane Russian) totally support (not only by my words and taxes, but with additional volunteering money and skills, too). One can say, that freedom of speech is limited in Russia, but in NATO-controlled areas of Europe Russian speech is banned at all. In Russia (as in any country), you can be arrested for your words, but in Ukraine you can be burn alive for it. There is the difference.
And yes, Stalin is one of the most popular leaders in Russian ratings (coz he had saved millions of Russian from eurointegration and genocide), while Gorbachev is one of the worst.
