    I agree with Helen. I'm not Russian. I'm from Moldova, an ex-soviet country, and I thank God that the soviet union doesn't exist anymore and we can speak our own language and be free, almost free. From the day when it formed, the USSR it was clear that it would fail, because you can't keep 15 countries together, taking away their language, culture, traditions and religion against their will. I personally have a positive opinion about Gorbaciov, though he wasn't the only one responsible for the collapse of ussr.

    My wife is from Russia, and she hates the collapse of the Soviet Union. She wish everything was still the same, she says in the Soviet days life was better and the country was strong, and the people had a lot of pride. She says if it was still the Soviet Union, she would have never left.

    How could anyone blame Gorbachev? The real collapse of the Soviet Union was the 20 years of ruin led by Brezhnev.
