The collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy, Gorbachev was responsible for it
Gorbachev remained a controversial figure. His relations with Putin were not good. Putin considers the collapse of the Soviet Union a tragedy. Gorbachev has been held responsible for this. Many Russian leaders, along with Putin, believe that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia weakened and its economy collapsed. At this time Russia was facing an economic crisis.
Nobel Prize is given in 1990
Gorbachev also supported the policy of glasnost i.e. freedom of expression. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev gave freedom to the Russian media and art world. He introduced many revolutionary reforms to loosen the hold of the Communist Party over the government.
