Mikhail Gorbachev was named "Man of the Decade" by various publications, including Time magazine, for his pivotal role in transforming the Soviet Union and ending the Cold War during the 1980s. His policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) aimed to reform the political and economic systems of the USSR, promoting greater transparency and reducing government control. Gorbachev's efforts to foster dialogue with the West and his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan were significant in easing international tensions. Ultimately, his actions contributed to the collapse of the Soviet regime and the subsequent democratization of Eastern Europe.

Who is Mikhail?
Nobel peace prize winner and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev was born February 3, 1931. As a law student, Gorbachev became a member of the Communist Part of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev is known for contributing to the resolution of the Cold War. Along with meeting with former President Ronald Regan, he announced new polices for the Soviet Union. These polices meant the withdrawal of Soviet troops in Central Europe. In 1987 Gorbachev was Time Magazines Man of the year and only two years later he was featured as Time's Man of the Decade. Following these removal acts and awards from Time Magazine, Gorbachev was placed as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. Gorbachev started leading the Soviet Union towards new political policies that included a less communistic and a more democratic government with free elections. The Soviet Union experienced their first free elections in 1989.

Most people consider him a noble man that helped end the violence of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and the democratization of Eastern Europe.
