Editorial Reviews

" His drastic reforms led to the end of his nation as the world knew it. But ultimately, he was undone by his own success. Mikhail Gorbachev is one of the most compelling figures of the 20th century. The son of a mechanic from the Caucasus, his vision to change his nation was shaped by his childhood experiences under Stalinís rule. BIOGRAPHY interviewed the former Soviet Premier at length for this historic program. In it, Gorbachev recounts how he rose through the party ranks without betraying his radical visions for the future. Once in power, however, the changes were swift and sweeping. Extensive footage chronicles the turbulent years of his rule, from the first stirrings of Glasnost to the unsuccessful coup attempt that marked the last gasp of the old, hard-line leadership. And Soviet historians and political experts detail his world- changing legacy. Like no other program, this is a gripping, first-person portrait of one of the most influential men in history."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, September 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Biography - Gorbachev [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Gorbachev will go down in history as a powerful idealist. His accomplishments will be reviewed for many, many years. This biography chronicles his rise to power, and how this power changed our world. The pictures of his early childhood and education are fascinating. They document how a young boy can grow and develop into a world leader with the proper guidance. His achievement in winning the Nobel Peace Prize is his ultimate victory. In a world that needs more idealistic leaders, this video cannot be viewed too often. It is a classic, and that is why I recommend it for any public or private library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, July 8, 2008
This review is from: Biography - Gorbachev [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I never knew why communist fall. I was too young when the iron curtain was finally torn down.
This DVD taught me what for years was a riddle for me.
