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
