Best Answer

This is either a trick question, or a question that is not worded properly.

Gorbachev was the first and only president of the Soviet Union, as the office of President did not exist prior to Gorbachev's perestroika.

However, there is an article on Wiki Answers about the past leaders of the Soviet Union (they were not called presidents). See links below.
