RIP. On balance a good man who served the people of Russia and the world well by playing his part in ending the Cold War. I feel we’ve lost somebody who could be seen as a voice of reason in Russia. In the West we may not have agreed with everything he said, but he could be relied on to put forward a reasonable Russian perspective, rather than the lunacy of the current cabal. On a different note, I think that really leaves only Brian Mulroney of Canada as the last living leader of a major power from the 80s.
