Live Updates Russia S War In Ukraine

The tragedy of Mikhail Gorbachev is that he outlived the thaw in the Cold War between Moscow and the US, having done more than anyone to build it. The last leader of the Soviet Union died on Tuesday at the age of 91, with Washington and the Kremlin on opposite sides of President Vladimir Putin’s heated war in Ukraine, launched in part to avenge the Soviet collapse precipitated by his rule Gorbachev. It is difficult to encapsulate what Gorbachev meant to Western audiences in the 1980s, after one of the most dangerous periods of East-West confrontation. After generations of austere, hostile, hard-line and aging Kremlin leaders, he was young, modern and fresh – a visionary and a reformer. Gorbachev inspired sudden hope that the nuclear showdown that haunted the world in the second half of the 20th century would not end up destroying civilization. US President Ronald Reagan and his British soul mate Margaret Thatcher were the most aggressive of the cold warriors. But to their credit, they realized a moment of promise – as the British prime minister said of the Soviet leader: “We can do business together.” Fall of the Soviet Union: After a heady series of nuclear arms control talks and meetings with Western leaders, Gorbachev became a hero in the West. But it was his decision not to intervene with military force when popular uprisings against communist regimes broke out in Warsaw Pact nations in 1989 that led to the liberation of Eastern Europe, the fall of the Iron Curtain, the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany . But while he was lionized in the West, Gorbachev came to be seen as an outcast at home. It is often forgotten now that his goal was not necessarily to break up the communist Soviet Union. In many ways, his hand was forced by decades of economic decline in the communist system and the debilitating impact of a nuclear arms race with the West. But in trying to save the system, he unleashed forces that destroyed it. Far from heralding the “end of history,” as it was often said at the time, his influence produced consequences that could still be felt on the day he died, with Moscow and the West once again at loggerheads in a Cold War chill.
