The author of this book is Mikhail Gorbachev's advisor and press secretary.
A unique biography of the last leader of the Soviet Union and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a psychological portrait of a man, a politician, a leader who was destined to change the course of history. Why did Gorbachev lead the USSR before the collapse of the Empire? Was he the initiator of dramatic processes in the global politics of the late 20th century or did he simply obey the logic of what was happening? Why did Gorbachev not hold on to power at all costs and allowed an attempted coup and then voluntarily resigned? What brought Gorbachev and his wife Raisa together and for life? The book is based on exclusive materials: hours-long conversations with Gorbachev, Raisa Maximovna and their daughter Irina; with people who surrounded the General Secretary and the President, supported him or fought against him. It contains excerpts from little-known documents of the Politburo and the Presidential Council.
