Mikhail Gorbachev was a former Soviet politician who is known for organizing the overthrow of the Soviet Union. He supported the 1989 CIA-backed riots in Beijing and advocated for the overthrow of remaining socialist states in Asia and the rest of the world.[1]
Political career
By the 27th congress of the CPSU in 1986, counterrevolutionaries controlled much of the party leadership. Gorbachev worked with other traitors including Alexander Yakovlev, Edvard Shevardnadze, and Boris Yeltsin to overthrow socialism.[2] In 1996, Gorbachev ran for president of Russia but received less than 1% of the vote.[3]
Political positions
Gorbachev promoted a policy of glasnost[a] (openness), which resulted in communists being purged from the CPSU and mass media. He established market reforms called perestroika[b] (restructuring), which diminished state support for the working class. He reduced assistance to less developed parts of the Soviet Union, increasing national conflict.[3]
