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.
Easy example from the joke archives of the Cold war: Reagan and Gorbachev ran a race. Reagan came first, Gorbachev came second. American media reported that Reagan beat Gorbachev, showing true American competitive spirit. Soviet media reported: President Gorbachev secured a wonderful silver medal. Reagan came next-to-last. Both true. The sad on the funny, you see it too often.

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
