Mikhail Gorbachev has died

He might be a decent human, but he's woefully bad at his job.

He might be able to salvage the Soviet Union into something else, but instead most of it turned into multiple heaps of dumpster fire, which after burning and destroying, was then commandeered by thugs, mafia and oligarchs.

Sometimes you have to work in the constraints of your time as he did. You'll learn that when you get older.
