Mikhail Gorbachev is a person who gave freedom to people. And what they did with this freedom is another question, not to Mikhail Gorbachev.
There is also a rumour that at Mikhail Gorbachev’s birthday party on March 2 Grigory Yavlinsky recollected that Bill Clinton had told to him, “Gorbachev taught me that there is life after being in power. And I have found out that he was right.”
Wishing health to Mikhail Gorbachev Grigory Yavlinsky also recalled about “one more politician who began his main project when he was 80 – Moses from the Old Testament who had to labour for another 40 years. It is high time for you Mikhail Sergeyevich to join in, as we can not succeed without you.”
