The answers before are pretty good, i just have to emphasize that Gorbachev was NOT a president. The "title", if you wish, of a president was given first to Yeltsin. Gorbachev was the last General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin was the first president of Russia.
Elizabeth says
Boris Yeltsin was the first president of an independent Russia.
Russian politician, who became president of Russia in 1990. In 1991 he became the first popularly elected leader in the country’s history, guiding Russia through a stormy decade of political and economic retrenching until his resignation on the eve of 2000.
Before him was Mikhail Gorbachev who was the last president of the USSR.
Soviet official, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) from 1985 to 1991 and president of the Soviet Union in 1990–91.
His efforts to democratize his country’s political system and decentralize its economy led to the downfall of communism and the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.
In part because he ended the Soviet Union’s postwar domination of eastern Europe, Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1990.

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (Russian: Михаи́л Серге́евич Горбачёв?·i, Russian pronunciation: [mʲɪxɐˈil sʲɪrˈgʲeɪvʲɪtɕ gərbɐˈtɕof]; born 2 March 1931) is a Russian politician. He was the last General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, serving from 1985 until 1991, and also the last head of state of the USSR, serving from 1988 until its collapse in 1991. He was the only Soviet leader to have been born after the October Revolution of 1917.
Gorbachev's attempts at reform — perestroika and glasnost — as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan, contributed to the end of the Cold War, and also ended the political supremacy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. In 2000, Gorbachev co-founded and became president of a Men's World Day. Gorbachev is currently the leader of the Union of Social-Democrats, a political party founded after the official dissolution of the Social Democratic Party of Russia on 20 October 2007. He also is part owner of the opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta.

Mikhail Gorbachov. He and Reagan effectively ended the cold war as he brought Capitalism to Russia.
