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.

I haven't heard of Americans taking on leadership roles in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Do you have any examples, or sources about this?
