Jim K Global Moderator Posted August 30, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2022 Quote (CNN)Mikhail Gorbachev -- the last leader of the former Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991 -- has died at the age of 91. Gorbachev died after a long illness, Russian state news agencies reported. "Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev died this evening after a severe and prolonged illness," the Central Clinical Hospital said, according to RIA Novosti Tuesday. The man credited with introducing key political and economic reforms to the USSR and helping to end the Cold War had been in failing health for some time. /snip Expand CNN RIP. +hedleigh and Skyfrog 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421023-mikhail-gorbachev-former-soviet-president-who-took-down-the-iron-curtain-dies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
