Western leaders are remembering Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, as a towering statesman who helped end the Cold War.
But his death received a cool response in Russia.
He died on Tuesday at the age of 91 in a Moscow hospital, after two years of serious illness.

He wanted the Soviet Union to connect to the West, gave huge conssessions only to be fooled by the Western Powers. This left huge ethnic conflicts between Russia and its former Soviet states.

He's also viewed by Russians as a man who sold his country to the West got millions of dollars and citizenship. So take things with a grain of salt.
