Did Gorbachev smother the Communist state with his reforms, or did it die of natural causes despite his best attempts to resuscitate it? How much do cause and motive matter when the results were undeniably good? To those of us in the USSR, very little. — PolitiTweet.org

My article on Mikhail Gorbachev in @NYDailyNews. I met him once, on 20 Jan 1985, the day he sent Soviet troops into my home city of Baku, where they shot protesters. Gorbachev is best described as a successful failure. https://t.co/4Cj8jhjDuR — PolitiTweet.org

Gorbachev was the conductor of a steam train that was headed off a cliff when it ran out of coal. He was hailed as a hero by onlookers, but the train’s passengers, we all watched in horror as Gorbachev tossed his cap and jacket into the furnace. My op-ed: https://t.co/4Cj8jhjDuR — PolitiTweet.org
