00:00:23
president with a distinctive port wine
00:00:25
birthmark on his head broke with the
00:00:27
past he helped to remove the iron
00:00:30
curtain that had divided europe and
00:00:32
bring about the reunification of germany
00:00:36
he struck nuclear arms deals with the
00:00:38
united states and brought the soviet
00:00:40
union closer to the west than at any
00:00:42
point since world war ii gorbachev
00:00:45
struck up a rapport with the west and
00:00:47
with ronald reagan the hawkish u.s
00:00:49
president who had called the soviet

gorbachev though was not able to prevent

when pro-democracy protests swept across
00:01:09
the soviet-blocked nations of communist
00:01:11
eastern europe in 1989 he refrained from
00:01:15
using force unlike previous leaders who
00:01:17
had sent tanks to crush uprisings in
00:01:19
hungary in 1956 and czechoslovakia in
00:01:23
1968
00:01:24
but those protests fueled aspirations
00:01:27
for autonomy in the 15 republics of the
00:01:30
soviet union which disintegrated over
00:01:32
the next two years in chaotic fashion
00:01:35
gorbachev became general secretary of
00:01:38
the soviet communist party in 1985 at
00:01:41
age 54.
00:01:42
he was a reformer setting out to
00:01:45
revitalize the system by introducing
00:01:47
limited political and economic freedoms
00:01:50
his policy of glasnost or free speech
00:01:54
allowed previously unthinkable criticism
00:01:56
of the party and the state but also
00:01:59
emboldened nationalists who began to
00:02:01
press for independence in the baltic
00:02:04
republics of latvia lithuania estonia
00:02:07
and elsewhere while he was celebrated in
00:02:10
the west many russians never forgave
00:02:12
gorbachev for the turbulence that his
00:02:14
reforms unleashed believing it was too
00:02:17
high a price to pay for democracy and in
00:02:20
the final months of his life gorbachev
00:02:23
has seen much of his legacy destroyed as
00:02:25
president vladimir putin's invasion of
00:02:27
ukraine has brought sanctions on moscow
00:02:30
and talks in both russia and the west of
00:02:33
a new cold war as one kremlin watcher
00:02:36
told reuters it's one of the ultimate
00:02:38
tragedies that none of the values that
00:02:41
gorbachev ultimately came to embrace
00:02:43
have been preserved by the leaders of
