Mikhail Gorbachev. He and Reagan signed the treaty that end the cold war. Gorbachev also famous for his reformation movement in Soviet Union (USSR), Glasnot and Perestroika, that marked the beginning of the end of USSR as a country.
Yeltsin is a Russian and was the head of Russia. Not US president.
Mikhail Gorbachev promoted two main reforms: glasnost and perestroika. Glasnost aimed to increase transparency and freedom of expression within the Soviet Union, allowing greater openness in government and society. Perestroika focused on restructuring the economy to introduce elements of market economics and reduce the state's control over various sectors. Together, these reforms aimed to revitalize the Soviet system but ultimately contributed to its dissolution.
During Mikhail Gorbachev's presidency, the Soviet Union faced significant economic stagnation, political unrest, and a loss of control over its satellite states. His policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) aimed to reform the economy and increase transparency, but instead led to heightened public dissatisfaction and demands for greater freedoms. Additionally, nationalist movements surged in various republics, ultimately contributing to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Gorbachev's efforts to modernize the country were met with resistance, complicating the already fragile political landscape.

The Russian Revolution(1917), and the over throw of the Czar
Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, with his economic awakening, and restructuring of the Soviet system "Perestroika" eventually helped to improve the efficiency of the country, along with international trade, which was not readily available before. Gorbachev was quoted as saying that perestroika was the "conference of development of democracy, socialist self-government, encouragement of initiative and creative endeavor, improved order and disciple, more glasnost, criticism and self-criticism in all spheres of our society. It is utmost respect for the individual and consideration for personal dignity." He then could not control Glasnost and perestroika. This led to the end of the Soviet Union and the fall of Communism in Europe. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics stopped existing on December of 1991.
In a Photo with Gorbachev, George H. Bush, and Ronald Reagan one can gather some insight to Gorbachev's height. George H. Bush towers over both Reagan and Gorbachev, however, Reagan is slightly leaned over, but so is Bush. If George H. Bush is about 6'2" or 6'3" and Reagan is somewhere near the 6' or 6'1" mark, one can comfortably place Mikhail Gorbachev at around 5'9" to 5'10". Mikhail Gorbachev: 5'10" I used this picture to draw my conclusions http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Reagan_Bush_Gorbachev_in_New_York_1988.jpg
It was very contagious. The countries of Eastern Europe were excited for the changes and wanted to be a part of them as well.
During World War 2, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union.
They took it over. The Soviet Union was just a name they had for all the countries that were taken over (13 I believe). It collapsed at the end of the cold war and those countries were not under the control of the soviet union anymore.
The three major industrie that were taken over by the Soviet government were factories, railroads, and businesses.BDP
The cold war was over.
I'll do my best : Gorbachev comes across, in retrospect, as a realist. He did what he did, as he saw it for the benefit of Russia. I don't think he gave up the Soviet control of eastern Europe for the benefit of thre peoples therein, I think he did this because he saw that that was in the interests of Russia. Maintaining forces in the occupied states was a luxury Russia could no longer afford. If Russia was to free its post war image of the USSR as a totalitarian state then something had to give. No, I don't see him as subversive, it is difficult to separate what he did from the subsequent Yeltsyn regime, but it was Gorbachev who broke the mould. If you look now at the state that Putin has dominated over recent years it is obviously different from what Gorbachev inherited. As I say relinquishing powers the Soviets had in eastern Europe was a good thing from the point of view of the Poles, Czechs, Germans & so on, but I am sure it was not done for their benefit, it was done, as Gorbachev saw it, for the benefit of Russia. Therefore Patriot it is from me.
The Communist Bloc was created in the late 1940s and early 1950s by the Soviet Union. Essentially, the Soviet Union took over the countries and forced them into communism.
Sadly No, Germany only conquered all of the Soviet Union in Europe are parts in Asia.
