Well ... it's going to have to be John Paul by default, although his two successors were much better.

Reagan; Thatcher really just acted as a catalyst if anything. What Pope John Paul (who was an awesome man for more important reasons than this) did to end the Cold War is beyond me.

His support for Solidarity played a role in the downfall of communism in Poland, but yeah not a cold war ender.

shortage of forum Lithuanians?

anyway, the answer is Jan Pavel, one of the great FFs of the 20th century. 

and it's not like the downfall of communism in Poland was insignificant to the fall of the Iron Curtain as a whole.

I don't know that Gorby did the most to end the Cold War, but he sure as hell did the most to make sure it ended peacefully.  Ergo he gets my vote.

This isn't a "Who did most to end the Cold War" poll. This is a matchup between the four with the trait that all of them were major world leaders that had a hand in ending the Cold War.

And Gorbachev is, by far, the best person and the potentially best leader among these 4.

So you think Stalin is better than Thatcher?


Anyways Thatcher personally followed by Reagan and divided between JPII and Gorbachev.

I declared Stalin my "least favorite figure in all of history" right here,
