Now that you mention it, what exactly did he do? The theory I'm familiar with is that by wasting shitloads of money on Star Wars and other weapons systems, we bankrupted the USSR by forcing them to keep up with the Joneses. I've never been completely sure why Gorby shouldn't get credit for the death of the CCCP, though, for introducing reforms that made it impossible to put the genies of nationalism back in the bottle.
