Usually his type of person, robust but quite heavy, usually dies in the 85-90 area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etushispushingupdaisies 136 Posted June 12, 2019 I've seen in Russian news reports that he doesn't consider the new "Chernobyl" HBO series to be truthful. It means that he is still alive and active. But not quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted August 5, 2019 The death of ex Deputy to Pol Pot and PM of Cambodia Nuon Chea means that Mikhail Gorbachev has replaced him on the list of 100 oldest living world leaders on wikipedia (at no 100 obviously) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_living_state_leaders I wonder how far up the list he'll get before he dies ....

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted November 4, 2019 He's just been interviewed , saying that Russia and the west are on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. By the look of things he won't live to see it though ! He has that appearance that really elderly people have who are sinking into dementia .At one point he didn't appear to realise he was being filmed. . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-50265870/mikhail-gorbachev-tells-the-bbc-world-in-colossal-danger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he does get out this time it looks like he's reached that end stage of going in and out of hospital with pneumonia on a regular basis ,like George Bush in his final year or 2 . . He should definitely be on the 2020 list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted December 20, 2019 I'm more surprised folk think he'll be discharged in 2 days as he's been in hospital pretty much the entire year with a long term issue of some sort, and all the press around the Chernobyl miniseries was quick to mention his increasingly frail self. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
