Glory for the greatest man of the 20th century. And look, how dirty have got in comments those who stuck in the USSR and nostalgic for Stalin, Gulag, prisons, torture and complete lack of rights?
Some even wish him eternal torment of hell, forgetting that namely this lieder granted the Soviet people with freedom of religions and started the policy that destroyed one of the most hellish systems of power in the world, which for 70 years has killed nearly 100 million people.
Jesus Christ at the end of his mission and life was also spat upon, slandered, tortured, crucified being betrayed by the absolute majority of Israel. It looks like the destiny of all peacemakers, saviors and prophets of eternal truth.
But now many doubt for the existence of the Christ as a historical person and that he opened the gates of salvation to the world, but Gorbachev definitely managed to do this - to open the gate for freedom and peace although not every nation and country were able to use this greatest historical chance.
