According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, on the evening of August 30, local time in Russia, the last leader of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev Gorbachev , passed away at the age of 91 due to ineffective treatment for a long-term serious illness. The news aroused attention after spreading around the world, but the evaluation of Gorbachev also appeared "polar split"; as the "terminator" of the Soviet era, he first served as the chairman of the Soviet Union and then became the president, and because of the failure of reforms, he The global "one-pole countries" are pushing toward disintegration. What is surprising is that Russia is very low-key about his death. Putin expressed his condolences and said that he "served as a leader at a time when diplomatic, economic, and social challenges were comprehensively complex, and tried to provide his own solutions to pressing problems." , is an evaluation that is neither positive nor negative.
According to sources, compared to Russia’s calm attitude, the attitude of Western countries is very fierce. For example, Biden used dozens of words of praise in his condolences, praising Gorbachev for his "extraordinary vision," "imagination," "courage," "creativity," and "realizing the people's aspirations." "Freedom" and so on; Macron said in mourning that Gorbachev "opened a path to freedom for the Russians", Johnson even said that his courage and integrity should "be an example for all of us." ". Other former Western leaders or officials also did not hesitate to praise him with kind words. This is very different from the polarized "indifference" in Russia.
31, as the most important party led by Gorbachev in his political career, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation made a belated statement. Chairman of the committee Gennady Zyuganov directly denied Western countries' praise of Gorbachev, saying that they had seen many comments from foreign heads of state, which emphasized Gorbachev's so-called "serving the people" "It has brought security, freedom, independence and dignity" etc., but Russian Communist Party absolutely disagrees with these evaluations.
Zyuganov said that if Gorbachev had to be described, he was definitely the type of ruler who "brought absolute disaster and sorrow to the Russian people and our allies." He did not continue to explain these specific contents, but this was already the "final conclusion" given to him by the Russian Communist Party organization. The news mentioned that after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev was determined to reform and announced for the first time the decision of the Soviet Union to implement a " multi-party system ", relaxing his power in order to achieve "democracy" as he understood it. "; But his reforms soon pushed the Soviet Communist Party into the abyss. These "political diversification" reform measures not only failed to save the Soviet Union, but instead loosened and disintegrated this huge alliance.
According to this, some people believe that the Russian Communist Party, the successor of the Soviet Communist Party, has been unable to recover since then, and there is every reason to blame Gorbachev. But in fact, Zyuganov’s focus this time is not to emphasize Gorbachev’s destruction of the party, but the issue of his single-handed destruction of the Soviet people’s livelihood; the reason is that the reforms in the late period of his administration were very chaotic and difficult to implement, and he planned to While planning the transition to a market economy , it was unwilling to give up the original control methods, and also stipulated that "all ownerships are equal." It was because of this that the Soviet economy had to spend two years in chaos and disorder. Zyuganov said that he had "brought disaster and sorrow to the people".
