  • Mikhail Gorbachev RIP

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Wednesday, August 31, 2022 04:44:07
    Hello Everybody,

    "On the day I became Soviet leader, in March 1985, I had
    a special meeting with the leaders of the Warsaw Pact countries
    and told them, `You are independent, and we are independent You
    are responsible for your policies, we are responsible for ours.
    We will not intervene in your affars, I promise you."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "The world will not accept dictatorship or domination."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "I am a Communist,a convinced Communist! For some that may be a
    fantasy. But to me it is my main goal."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "I say again that I am an atheist. I do not believe in God."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for
    mankind."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "What about Jesus Christ? I say that he was a precursor of idealists,
    a precursor of socialists."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    "My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could."
    ~ Mikhail Gorbachev

    Mikhail Gorbachev, b. 2 March 1931, d. 30 August 2022
    May he rest in peace.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Gorbachive was good in making declarations, but, as it appeared, he (and
    the similar people like Yanukovich, for instance) are not able to defend
    their ideals, as well as their country, from aggressive swindlers
    snatching the power and the country from under the nose.

    PS: But I am happy that I saw freedom when he was the USSR president.

    PSS: Here are some pgotos made by me during Gorbachev's perestroyka. https://goo.gl/photos/eP7vEEXqAXuys3D27

    Bye, Lee!
