Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeievich
Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeievich (1931– ) Soviet statesman, president of the
Soviet Union (1988–91) and general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party (1985–91). After succeeding
Chernenko as leader, Gorbachev embarked on a programme of reform based on
perestroika (restructuring) and
glasnost (openness). He played a major role in the nuclear
disarmament process, withdrew Soviet troops from Afghanistan, and acquiesced to the demise of communist regimes in Eastern Europe (1989–90), effectively ending the
Cold War. In Russia, the benefits of radical socio-economic change were slow to take effect, and Gorbachev's popularity fell as prices rose. In August 1991, Communist hardliners mounted an unsuccessful coup. In December 1991, the Communist Party was abolished. Gorbachev was forced to dissolve the Soviet Union and hand power to his rival Boris
Yeltsin. Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
