About the Author
Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union and a pivotal figure in 20th-century history, served as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1985 to 1991 and President of the USSR until its dissolution. Renowned for initiating perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness), his reforms reshaped global politics, ending the Cold War and earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. Through speeches and official documents, Gorbachev articulated visions of economic cooperation and diplomatic engagement, as seen in his addresses during landmark international visits and meetings. A statesman whose ideas influenced world leaders, he continues to advocate for democracy, environmentalism, and international dialogue in his post-Soviet writings and public life.
