Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, died at the age of
” he was hospitalized for a serious and long illness”
Mikhail Sergevic Gorbachev died at the age of 91. He was perhaps one of the most important leaders of the latter part of the twentieth century: he was the man who tried to bring reforms to the Soviet Union, he was the man the West recognized as the first credible interlocutor after the illusions and delusions of the Nikita Khrushchev era, he was the great innovator, the man of glasnost, of perestroika, of the desperate effort to get the Soviet Union that had belonged to Brezhnev to Andropov and Cernienko to be a power in step with the progress, wealth and innovation of democracies, in a challenge that was no longer one of opposition but of collaboration. The fundamental (and illusory) steps were the two summits with Ronald Reagan in Geneva, in 1986, and in Reykjavik in 1987: there the agreements, the possibility of disarmament, the end of the challenge that had brought the world several times after World War II. brink of an irreparable crisis, everything seemed within reach.
