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.

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. At the same time, thousands of political prisoners and critics of the communist regime were also released from prison. Gorbachev signed a nuclear disarmament agreement with the United States. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize in 1990 for peacefully ending the Cold War.
