EJ Panaligan editor Mikhail Gorbachev, the Russian politician who served as the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union, has died at the age of 91, according to the Associated Press.
The Central Clinical Hospital in Russia provided a statement to Russian news organizations that Gorbachev died after suffering from an undisclosed, long-term illness.
Gorbachev served as the leader of the Soviet Union during its demise in 1991. He resigned on Christmas of that year after spending the last few months in office watching different republics declare independence.
His initiatives and reforms led to the end of the Cold War but resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union. These initiatives included forging arms reduction deals with the United States, along with partnerships across Western powers to remove the Iron Curtain that had long divided Europe since the second World War, which ultimately brought about the reunification of Germany.
