Learning about him in school and he seems like a rather polarizing fellow. Would like to gauge what good ole AF thinks of him.

I think the former Soviet Union would have been better off keeping Gorbachev in power.

Power-hungry populist moron, who backstabbed the real hero of Russian democracy (Gorbachev) and turned Russia into a gigantic sh*thole (thus, directly causing Putin's rise to power as the "strongman who would fix things").

In short, a piece of sh*t.

If you think Gorbachev was some type of liberal democrat you have absolutely no knowledge of Russian history at all.

This. Gorbachev wasn't exactly popular before his detainment.

Russia's only chance to not be completely f[inks]ed was to transition to put all the oil profit into the welfare state.
