According to reports, Michail Gorbachev died on Tuesday after a long and serious illness. Reportedly, he grew up under the rule of Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet union from 1927-53. According to reports, Stalin was the leader of one of three socialist factions following the end of the Russian monarchy but repressed all political opposition creat8ng a one party state. Reportedly, Stalinism resulted in collective farms, rapid industrialisation, a forced labour policy and a newly created united working class prolateriat.
According to reports, in 1929 Joseph Stalin suggested that the dictatorship of the prolateriat was the basis for a claim that ongoing repression of capitalist elements was necessary. Reportedly, Stalin was concerned that residual bourgeois elements would persist within the country, and with support from the west might infiltrate the party.
According to reports, Gorbachev worked on a collective farm with his parents, studied law and joined the communist party, becoming involved in de Stalinisation. Reportedly, he became leader of the soviet union in 1988 and was involved in discussions with Ronald Reagan and the u.s. regarding limiting nuclear weapons and ending the cold war, According to a report, his economic reforms, designed to invigorate Russia resulted in a failed coup by Marxist- Leninists in 1991. Reportedly, Michail Gorbachev’s funeral will be held in Moscow on Saturday and is open to the public.
