I haven't heard his name is so long that I didn't even know he was still alive actually.

Last of the old giants who actually changed the world for the better, simply by seeing that a certain system had failed completely & had to end, and didn't make things worse by doubling-down on it. Almost impossible now to imagine there's a single leader anywhere who possesses even the slightest bit of the wisdom & foresight Gorbachev had.

Tried his best to bring Russia out of the shadow of the Cold War and turn it into democracy.
