	Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeyevich. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Regarded as a skilled technocrat and a reformer, Gorbachev joined (1978) the Communist party secretariat as agriculture secretary, and in 1980 he joined the politburo as the protégé of Yuri Andropov.
		Following the death of Konstantin Chernenko (Andropov’s successor) in 1985, Gorbachev was appointed general secretary of the party despite being the youngest member of the politburo.
		By 1990, however, Gorbachev’s perestroika program had failed to deliver significant improvement in the economy, and the elimination of political and social control had released latent ethnic and national tensions in the Baltic states, in the constituent republics of Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova, and elsewhere.

		For Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev it must have been a difficult decade - a man of huge ambitions and huge achievements, but a political corpse.
		Historians have been doing the same, picking over the Gorbachev era with a fine-tooth comb, exhaustively and sometimes gleefully cataloguing the mistakes of the last Soviet leader, from his failure to submit to democratic election, to his obstinate refusal to heed repeated warnings of the threat from the hardline communist right.
		Gorbachev hastened the decline of the Soviet Union, but it was in serious trouble before he came on the scene, and maybe no-one could have saved it.

	Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev's Life Work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Not that Russians are really indifferent to Gorbachev; definite negative or positive appraisals normally prevail when people speak about active politicians with whose actions they associate (consciously or unconsciously) certain events and developments in the country, as well as personal experiences.
		Judging by the focus group data, this appraisal is meant to be a positive evaluation of his political activity, rather than appreciation of the scope of his part in world developments.
		From this point of view, there is no contradiction between Russians' believing Gorbachev was an outstanding politician, and their apprehensions towards him as the former head of state.
