; born 2 March 1931) is a former
Soviet
statesman. He was the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union, having served as
General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
from 1985 until 1991 when the party was dissolved. He served as the country's head of state from 1988 until
its dissolution
in 1991 (titled as Chairman of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet
from 1988 to 1989, as Chairman of the
Supreme Soviet
from 1989 to 1990, and as
President of the Soviet Union
from 1990 to 1991). He was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union to have been born after the
October Revolution
.
Gorbachev was born in
Stavropol Krai
into a peasant
Ukrainian
–
Russian
family, and in his teens operated
combine harvesters
on
collective farms
. He graduated from
Moscow State University
in 1955 with a degree in law. While he was at the university, he joined the Communist Party, and soon became very active within it. In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Regional Committee, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a member of the
Politburo
in 1979. Within three years of the death of Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev
, following the brief "interregna" of
Andropov
and
Chernenko
, Gorbachev was elected General Secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in Western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level.
Gorbachev's policies of
glasnost
("openness") and
perestroika
("restructuring") and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to the end of the
Cold War
. He removed the constitutional role of the Communist Party in governing the state, and inadvertently led to the
dissolution of the Soviet Union
. He was awarded the
Otto Hahn Peace Medal
in 1989, the
Nobel Peace Prize
in 1990 and the
Harvey Prize
in 1992, as well as
honorary doctorates
from various universities.
In September 2008, Gorbachev and business oligarch
Alexander Lebedev
announced they would form the
Independent Democratic Party of Russia
,
[2]
and in May 2009 Gorbachev announced that the launch was imminent.
[3]
This was Gorbachev's third attempt to establish a political party, having started the
Social Democratic Party of Russia
in 2001 and the
Union of Social Democrats
in 2007.
