As the Russian, I'm of the opinion that Gorbachev is traitor.

I hate communism, so it's good that he helped us to get rid of that.

But why getting rid of communism had to include letting Americans to take reign in many government agencies of Russia?

What would be your opinion of US president, if he goes to to retire in Russia?

I'm reading some Russian news site, and almost universally Gorbachev is hated by Russians.

what are his chances living to this ripe old age if he had stayed? i don't think he had a spectacular life in the US either, just became a normal bloke

I still think the gp's question is relevant:
