The most hated Russian

[fridi]

The whole (liberal) (Western) world worships him as the father of Perestroika, a person who hugely contributed for the fall of the Iron Curtain (Tear down that wall, Mr Gorbachev!)... But in Russia itself, Gorbachev is probably the most hated man. And is regularly a recipient of tons of verbal abuse. And no surprise, he's often erroneously declared dead. Just like the other day.

it's a real shame but the Russians get the leader they deserve. Gorby gave them their freedom and they hate him. Putin is a KGB authoritarian, and the masses love him. The only thing worse is the official opposition in the Duma...the unreformed commies and Zhironovsky and his thugs! What a country!

Russia has never known democracy and it probably never will.
