But when judging his legacy, we should compare him to angels, but other Kremlin leaders. Was he better than Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Putin? Yes. Imagine had someone like Putin take over in 1985. History would have been very different. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

To those critical of Gorbachev's bad choices, I agree. He did order or allow for the killing of innocent civilians in parts of the USSR during his time in office. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Gorbachev era also demonstrates that leaders matter. Tragically, the Putin era has proven the same. But acknowledging that leaders matter gives me hope. -- albeit just a little bit -- about Russia's future. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org
