msc 18,534 Posted April 23, 2017 He's not dead. In fact, he's becoming critical of Putin. But all this talk of new threads today and Boris's anniversary makes me ponder how Gorbachev has somehow, despite rumours of ill health frequently, never chalked up a single Deathlist appearance. A bigger surprise than the lack of a John Wetton or (Insert Italian actress here). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bigger surprise than the lack of a John Wetton or (Insert Italian actress here). Goodness I hadn't realised that he's never appeared on the official deathlist. He's an absolute pivotal figure in the history of the late 20th century. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emperor Babylon 2 Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Mikhail Gorbachev is a former Soviet Union Soviet statesman. He was the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union, having been General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991. 87 years old on 2 March 2018, it is the last legend of the USSR .He is very weak at the last news. Wait and see... Edited October 17, 2017 by Death Impends Thread merged - Gorby already has a thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
