Gorbachev’s biggest achievement is the dismantling of cold war between the two power blocs and establishing East-west détente. He shall always be remembered for disarmament and his efforts for a war-free world. Under the wave of liberalism and democracy most of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe have been thrown out and the people there have now the opportunity to live and breathe under elected governments.

Fundamentalist and extreme elements in Russia had not taken kindly to his policies. In August 1991, these elements staged a coup and put Gorbachev under house arrest under the plea that the he was sick. But these leaders could not find support and Gorbachev was back to power after three days.

However, Gorbachev resigned in 1991 and Boris Yeltsin took up the presidentship in June 1991 – the first leader of Russia to be chosen in popular vote. Yeltsin was re-elected as President, while Gorbachev unsuccessfully contested in the race for Presidentship in 1996.

Gorbachev has been a co-sponsor of peace talks between Israel and Arab states with President Bush of the United states. It is after more than 40 years of strife that these adversaries are talking to each other across the table. Earlier, he played an important role in making Iraq to vacate Kuwait which it annexed in August 1990.

His most revolutionary act was to recognize the independence of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia when they broke away from the Soviet Union. These states had been forcibly seized Stalin before the Second World War.

Gorbachev has been conferred with manly Soviet decorations. He has been given ‘Order of Lenin’ thrice. He was conferred ‘Indira Gandhi Peace Award’ (1987) and the Bobel Prize for Peace in 1990. In short, it can be said that he is the trend-setter of the revolutionary changes in the Soviet Union in domestic and international policies.
