In Moscow's Shadows 77: Gorbachev's Hope vs Putin's Victimhood, a short rumination

17 min1 september 2022

A short, one-segment piece in which I consider one of the less widely-discussed aspects of Gorbachev's legacy (and quite why he sat so uncomfortably for the present regime): that he stood for hope (however naive or badly-executed sometimes) rather than the victimhood at the heart of Putin's message.

My snap appreciation of Gorbachev is here, and Leon Aron's obit is here.
