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.

Are you suggesting that Gorbachev went to retire in the US? He travelled extensively to the US and elsewhere, but as far as I know he only ever lived in Russia.

When the topic of Palo Alto came up, ex-Soviets seemed to think that's where Gorbachev lived.
