Hugely unpopular and somewhat of a non-entity in his own country for the last 30 or so years, Gorbachev was instrumental in what many Russians, including the vastly more popular Putin, see as the geopolitical disaster and tragedy that was the breakup of the USSR.

And the other 14 countries in the bloc see as regaining control of their own territories. It's all in the perspective.

The same can be said about a lot of the people commemorated on this thread and yet we often say a few words or offer a perspective.
