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.
