One fact that i think is sort of interesting is that he announced to the rest of the world that the country had been hiding the truth from its citizens and that they had been using Propaganda and had taken away all the literature that would give away all their secrets (by which most of this literature was written by people they have imprisoned), and gave them only the literature that they wanted people to read.

· Mikhail Gorbachev (former President of the Soviet Union)
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
Probably Vodka with some Butterbrod with lots of Mayonez and dat Babushka's jam on top. Hmmmm
One of the major considerations was the USSR was bankrupted by the cold war and it was on the brink of collapse. There was much dissent in several republics and some were breaking away.

Mikhail Gorbachev, the former leader of the Soviet Union, had limited proficiency in English. While he was able to understand some English and communicate in it, he primarily conducted his international affairs in Russian and relied on interpreters for more complex discussions. His focus was more on conveying his policies and ideas rather than mastering the language.
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev both recognized the need for significant changes in their respective countries and pursued policies aimed at reducing Cold War tensions. They shared a pragmatic approach to diplomacy, leading to groundbreaking arms reduction agreements, such as the INF Treaty. Additionally, both leaders faced domestic pressures that influenced their foreign policies, with Reagan promoting a vision of a strong America and Gorbachev advocating for reform within the Soviet Union. Their ability to communicate and negotiate effectively helped pave the way for improved U.S.-Soviet relations.
Perestroika and glasnost Gorbachev emphasized the need for a faster political personnel turnover and a policy of democratization that opened the political elections to multiple candidates and to non-party members.
