this reality was made possible to a large degree by a soviet leader named mikhail gorbachev. he knew when to wield power and also when not to, it made possible the end of the cold war and the end of a divided germany. it also triggered the implosion of the soviet union. mikhail gorbachev died yesterday in the west many or mourning the loss of a statesman who they also considered a friend inside russia. many are reminded of the leader who was in charge when everything fell apart. i'm begotten berlin. this is the day, ah and moved to get the former. he wasn't courageous or format and a statesman who dead to too many things. and they figured he did a lot of damaging things to our country. we're the ones facing the consequences. well, let me, i had a little, much of a sand, leaned freedom that russian society you'll go off with don, i think he wanted to show all countries and also the west, the, you know, i would say all countries around the world that we are a peaceful country that we are ready to disarm the left from ask them because gorbachev is one of those people who change

we begin the day remembering the life and legacy of mikhail gorbachev. the soviet leader who helped and the cold war gorbachev reportedly passed away yesterday at the age of 91. in the late 19 eighties. gorbachev introduced policies that encouraged openness and reform inside the u. s. s. r. and he also forged wumer ties with the west, which ultimately brought down the iron curtain ending the division of europe. and it also put germany on track to re unification as a political leader. gorbachev wielded unprecedented powers that set into motion forces inside of his country, which he would soon no longer be able to control. or he is often held as a hero. here in the west, at home, his name is associated with the collapse of a mighty nation. his legacy is at best, a complicated one. we have this report that did give me a mikhail gorbachev for a speech as leader of the soviet union. it was clear he was a stark contrast to his predecessors. we would use the water right. i live in peace and freedom is the most important basic right to viet shinla, joe, for our

look it up at your brochure in mikhail gorbachev. first speech as leader of the soviet union. it was clear he was a stark contrast to his predecessors. we scored you was the old right. i live in peace and freedom is the most. am your ultima basic right to veteran widow for our kilobit. gorbachev wanted to change the soviet union to bring it closer to the people. he promoted glass, nah, st. openness and perestroika reforms to words that will forever be associated with him. his new outlook was popular with many his policies also applied to the military. despite the resistance of soviet generals issued to us, here we are voters almost. i'm convinced that we will also have to reform our military law. we have far too many weapons law, stately. we have to seek dialogue with other superpowers and reduce our arsenals to a reasonable extent, in that yourself. as a result of that dialogue. gorbachev and you as president reagan find the 1st of many disarmament treaties in 1987. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war in october 1989 when he visited east berlin for the g d r's, 40

margaret thatcher, she said, "mikhail gorbachev is a man i can do business with." but look today at the relationship between putin and obama. look at what putin said the other day when he said that the us unilaterally declared itself the winner of the cold war, it never tried to establish a new balance of power, it's only interested imposing a unilateral diktat which can only lead to conflict and chaos. putin and his attitude to the united states appears to have a completely different approach from your own. very specifically, do you support putin's annexation of crimea, the fact that russian troops are still reported to be in east ukraine and russia has recognised the recent elections in eastern ukraine, which the rest of the world has described as completely illegitimate? do you support putin's positions there? when you picked up the nobel peace prize in 1991, you said, "you know what? i am always an optimist." i wonder if there is much room for optimism today. when you see the crisis in relations between the western powers and vladimir putin, when you see confli

to turn one's back on the spirit of mikhail gorbachev. if this is sending a more a message to moscow, how do you think that's going to go down with diplomatically? it's not going to help, but it's also not going to make anything worse. i mean, both sides know where they stand, and this is not a big surprise to vladimir putin either. victor alba was the only head of a government in the european union who actually went to moscow on saturday, vic to oberon, being of course, hungary and liter. so prudent is very much aware that at the moment, and there is no real dialogue between him and the european leaders, the european leaders have made it clear unless you change your stands unless you show some willingness to open up. and to also let go of your ambitions in ukraine. we cannot have a proper dialogue. we cannot have normal diplomatic relations. nina, thank you so much. our political corresponded nina hasa and you are watching d. w. news from berlin. just a reminder of our top story, the german parliament has been remembering mikhail gorbach
