I totally agree with you on nuancing Gorby's perception in the West. Just an anecdote to back up your point: when he was in Budapest last year to celebrate our former PM Gyula Horn (1994-98) 75th birthday he said that the Soviet intervention in 1956 (i.e.: Soviet tanks brutally and bloodily crushing Hungary's freedom fight for democracy)was necessary...adding that as a result Hungary develepod progressively afterwards to become an EU-member by now... So, the picture needs to be nuanced, indeed! Nice piece, thanks Mindaugas!
