The leaders here treated the fragility of a change brought by one person in the Soviet Union as if it were fixed deep coming from a revolution that wiped away every bad element. Clearly the biggest responsibility for failing to hold on to Gorbachev and the real change he brought goes to the root, to Bush senior and Reagan and the rest of the government during that time.

However, there is still showing for that clip of "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!" as if putting pressure on the man instead of helping him during that time suggests some depth of vision for the future.

The Soviet union, in its current form as Russia, did not really change as much as it took a breath of fresh air during the time of that man then things reverted back when he no longer in office.
