Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Template:Eastern Slavic nameMikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (Russian: Михаи́л Серге́евич Горбачёв, tr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov; IPA: [mʲɪxɐˈil sʲɪrˈɡʲejɪvʲɪt͡ɕ ɡərbɐˈt͡ɕɵf] (13px ); born 2 March 1931) is a former Soviet statesman. He was the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union, having served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991, and as the country's head of state from 1988 until its dissolution in 1991 (titled as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet from 1988 to 1989, as Chairman of the Supreme Soviet from 1989 to 1990, and as President of the Soviet Union from 1990 to 1991). He was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union to have been born after the October Revolution.Gorbachev was born in Stavropol Krai into a peasant Ukrainian–Russian family, and in his teens operated combine harvesters on collective farms. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1955 with a degree in law. While he was at the university, he joined the Communist Party, and soon became very active within it. In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Kraikom, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a member of the Politburo in 1979. Within three years of the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, following the brief "interregna" of Andropov and Chernenko, Gorbachev was elected General Secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in Western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level.Gorbachev's policies of glasnost ("openness") and perestroika ("restructuring") as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to the end of the Cold War, removed the constitutional role of the Communist Party in governing the state, and inadvertently led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in 1989, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 and the Harvey Prize in 1992, as well as honorary doctorates from various universities.In September 2008, Gorbachev and business oligarch Alexander Lebedev announced they would form the Independent Democratic Party of Russia, and in May 2009 Gorbachev announced that the launch was imminent. This was Gorbachev's third attempt to establish a political party, having started the Social Democratic Party of Russia in 2001 and the Union of Social Democrats in 2007.The New Encyclopædia Britannica calls Gorbachev “the single most important initiator of a series of events in late 1989 and 1990 that transformed the political fabric of Europe and marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War.” British prime minister Margaret Thatcher said after first meeting him: “I like Mr. Gorbachev. We can do business together.” Gail Sheehy, author of the book Gorbachev—The Making of the Man Who Shook the World, concludes:

#Quote
1My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
2We are not abandoning our convictions, our philosophy or traditions, nor do we urge anyone to abandon theirs.
3Certain people in the United States are driving nails into this structure of our relationship, then cutting off the heads. So the Soviets must use their teeth to pull them out.
4If current technological processes continue without change, the environment will change, and we, the human species, will either have to mutate or even die, to disappear, as many species have disappeared.
5Every country should conduct its own reforms, should develop its own model, taking into account the experience of other countries, whether close neighbours or far away countries.
6I don't think Russia is setting this as a goal; I don't think this should be Russia's goal. I think even the United States doesn't need to be a superpower. China doesn't need to be a superpower. It's a different world.
7You cannot put Russia down on its knees and hold it there because Russia will ultimately pull out.
8I believe, as Lenin said, that this revolutionary chaos may yet crystallize into new forms of life.
9The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.
10It seems that the most important thing about Reagan was his anti-Communism and his reputation as a hawk who saw the Soviet Union as an 'evil empire.'
11There should be competition and exchanges between different countries, but there are certainly certain universal values, and that is freedom and democracy.
12I grew up in a family of peasants, and it was there that I saw the way that, for example, our wheat fields suffered as a result of dust storms, water erosion and wind erosion; I saw the effect of that on life - on human life.
13Political leaders still think things can be done through force, but that cannot solve terrorism. Backwardness is the breeding ground of terror, and that is what we have to fight.
14Starting reforms in the Soviet Union was only possible from above, only from above. Any attempt to go from below was suppressed, suppressed in a most resolute way.
15I couldn't wait to get to the most powerful position, because I thought then I would be able to fix problems that only the leader can fix. But when I got there, I realized we needed revolutionary change.
16I think we need more young people; we need to elect young people to government. We need to give them a chance, in the media, in politics, in democracy.
17I think God has some mechanism that he uses to punish those that make mistakes.
18I paid too heavy a price for perestroika.
19Ex-Presidents of the United States get state subsidies. Not so in Russia. You get no government support.
20What about Jesus Christ? I say that he was a precursor of idealists; a precursor of socialists.
21Surely, God on high has not refused to give us enough wisdom to find ways to bring us an improvement in relations between the two great nations on earth.
22The soviet people want full-blooded and unconditional democracy.
23If people don't like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum.
24I say again that I am an atheist. I do not believe in God.
25Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.
26I think the environmental problem will be the number one item on the agenda of the 21st century... This is a problem that cannot be postponed.
27Democracy must learn to defend itself.
28Sometimes when you stand face to face with someone, you cannot see his face.
29Imagine a country that flies into space, launches Sputniks, creates such a defense system, and it can't resolve the problem of women's pantyhose. There's no toothpaste, no soap powder, not the basic necessities of life. It was incredible and humiliating to work in such a government.
30Sometimes people ask me why I began perestroika. Were the causes basically domestic or foreign? The domestic reasons were undoubtedly the main ones, but the danger of nuclear war was so serious that it was a no less significant factor.
31The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism. If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism.
32More socialism means more democracy, openness and collectivism in everyday life.
33Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind.
34I am a Communist, a convinced Communist! For some that may be a fantasy. But to me it is my main goal.
35It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction.
36It would be naive to think that the problems plaguing mankind today can be solved with means and methods which were applied or seemed to work in the past.
37On the day I became Soviet leader, in March 1985, I had a special meeting with the leaders of the Warsaw Pact countries and told them: 'You are independent, and we are independent. You are responsible for your policies, we are responsible for ours. We will not intervene in your affairs, I promise you.'
38If what you have done yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today.
39What we need is Star Peace and not Star Wars.
40The world will not accept dictatorship or domination.
41America must be the teacher of democracy, not the advertiser of the consumer society. It is unrealistic for the rest of the world to reach the American living standard.
42If not me, who? And if not now, when?
43Without perestroika, the cold war simply would not have ended. But the world could not continue developing as it had, with the stark menace of nuclear war ever present.
44We could only solve our problems by cooperating with other countries. It would have been paradoxical not to cooperate. And therefore we needed to put an end to the Iron Curtain, to change the nature of international relations, to rid them of ideological confrontation, and particularly to end the arms race.
45Sometimes it's difficult to accept, to recognise one's own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that.
46A society should never become like a pond with stagnant water, without movement. That's the most important thing.
47My whole life I worked to perfect our system. I couldn't wait to get to the most powerful position, because I thought then I would be able to fix problems that only the leader can fix. But when I got there, I realized we needed revolutionary change. The only way things got done was if you knew somebody or you paid somebody under the table. So what system did we have? It was time to dismantle the whole thing.
