Mikhail Gorbachev died

This is reported by Russian media with reference to the Central Clinical Hospital of Moscow.

Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev died this evening after a serious and prolonged illness, the hospital reported.

According to Russian Telegram channels, on the eve of his death, Gorbachev arrived at the hospital for hemodialysis. He had kidney problems.

In May 2016, the Security Service of Ukraine banned him from entering the country for five years. He replied that he had not traveled to Ukraine for a long time and did not plan to.

Mikhail Gorbachev was the last General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and one of the few Russians who starred in Pizza Hut commercials. It was under him that the USSR, which seemed to be eternal before, collapsed, the Berlin Wall, which divided Germany into two halves, collapsed, and our country gained Independence, which we defend today at the cost of so many victims.
