What Gorbachev Really Thought About Reagan — Revealed After His Death

Описание: This video explores what Mikhail Gorbachev finally admitted about Ronald Reagan — after Reagan was gone, and there was nothing left to gain.

For years, the Soviet narrative painted Reagan as reckless, dangerous, even unstable.
Inside the Kremlin, he was portrayed as a warmonger pushing the world toward nuclear disaster.

But after Reagan’s death, Gorbachev began to speak differently.

In interviews, memoirs, and late-life reflections, he acknowledged something he could never say publicly during the Cold War: Reagan was sincere, predictable, and willing to risk his own political standing to reduce the danger of nuclear war.

This is a story about delayed honesty, broken stereotypes, and a respect that arrived only when history could no longer be changed.
