Mourners wait in a line to enter in the House of the Unions, a historical building in the Tverskoy District in central Moscow where a memorial service was held for deceased Mikhail Gorbachev. Mikhail Gorbachev, who served as the last leader of the USSR from 1985 to the country's dissolution in 1991, died on August 30, 2022. He is world-famous for his attempts to limit nuclear weapons and improve relations with the United States, virtually ending the Cold War. In the USSR, he initiated reforms that gave the Soviet people unprecedented level of freedom. He also withdrew Soviet troops from Afghanistan after ten years of war in the country. For his adherence to peaceful political means and efforts to end the Cold War, Gorbachev was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Widely praised in the West, Gorbachev eventually sacrificed his political career in Russia and never returned to big politics after the Soviet Union collapsed as many people blamed him for this. After his resignation as the President of the USSR, Gorbachev launched the Gorbachev Foundation and became a vocal critic of first Russian President Boris Yaltsin and, later, Vladimir Putin. For millions people around the world, Gorbachev became the symbol of freedom and peace. However, for others, he became synonymous with losing the Cold War and decline of Russian status on the world stage.On September 3, 2022, a memorial service was held in Moscow. It was open for public. Hundreds of people gathered to bid farewell to the last Soviet leader. (Photo by Vlad Karkov / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
