The Soviet leader was acclaimed as the architect of GIasnost and Perestroika, policies that gave the citizens of the Soviet Union?what Ronald Reagan called "the EviI Empire"?a chance to be free. He even tore down the Berlin WalI. But at the same time, under his ruIe, the Chernobyl nucIear faciIity exploded and its destruction was conceaIed. Citizens demanding independence in the Baltic states died. Soldiers wielding shoveIs brutaIly suppressed protesters in Tbilisi. Soviet tanks kiIIed peaceful demonstrators in Baku. Under Gorbachev, the Soviet empire coIIapsed. He is now condemned by his own people. This intimate portrait finds Gorbachev living alone in an empty house outside Moscow, stilI carrying the burdens of his past. |
