When did mikhail Gorbachev rule?

One cannot answer the question "When did Gorbachev rule?" in the same vein as "When did Peter the Great rule" or "When did Stalin rule?" Mikhail Gorbachev was neither a monarch nor a dictator. There is an article on Wiki Answers, answering the question "When did Gorbachev become the leader of the Soviet Union?", see link below. That said, Mikhail Gorbachev was in power from March 1985, when he became the General Secretary, until December 1991, when Soviet Union ceased to exist.


Who led the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War?

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.


Was Mikhail Gorbachev the first and only president of the Soviet Union?

Short answerYes, Gorbachev was the first and only person to bear the official title of the President of the Soviet Union. The office of the President was created in 1990 and existed until 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. Gorbachev held it the whole time.An elaboration on why some may not consider Gorbachev the first or only president of the USSR follows.In all fairness, prior to 1990, the Soviet government had a post officially called The Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the soviet Union - a title as unpronounceable as it was symbolic. If you peel away the world jumble, this title amounts to what in the West is called a "President".In reality, it was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union who held all the power. People were not fooled; it is easy to find a good list of every General Secretary the USSR ever had, but most people don't even know the Soviet Union had what can technically be called a president much less what his name was - and that includes Russians themselves.Incidentally, Gorbachev started out as the General Secretary 1985, became the Chairman of the Presidium 1988, and finally was elected President in 1990 in something of a free election.- - - - -The reason people think Gorbachev was the only president of the USSR is, Gorbachev was the only person who was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Presidium at the same time. These men were all Presidents of the USSR: Mikhail Kalinin, Nikolay Shvernik, Kliment Voroshilov, Leonid Brezhnev (served two terms, died in his second), Vasili Kuznetsov (served three terms), Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko, Andrei Gromyko and Mikhail Gorbachev. There are several men who were General Secretaries, but only Gorbachev was General Secretary and President at the same time.


How did mikhail Gorbachev's policies contribute to the collapse of communism in eastern eroupe?

Gorbachev's two major policies were glasnost and perestroika, which means openness and restructuring. He welcomed criticism of the government, which was never before allowed in the U.S.S.R. He wanted to reform or restructure the economy and especially the communist party within U.S.S.R. He allowed freedom of press and released political prisoners. He encouraged the rulers of the eastern European countries to adopt the same policies. The people of eastern Europe stood up against the oppressive regimes (although some eastern European rulers did follow in Gorbachev's footsteps and allowed free elections). The people initially feared that the Soviet army would suppress the uprisings like it had before, but Gorbachev did not provide help to the Communist regimes. Hence by 1991, communism was rejected by the eastern Europe.
