“Lives in a hospital”: Gorbachev’s very poor condition became known
Messages about the poor health status of the last general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the first president of the USSR were confirmed by the editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, Alexei Venediktov, during the Gordon broadcast on one of the Ukrainian television channels.
According to Venediktov, 88-year-old Gorbachev has “everything is in order with his head,” however, age-related diseases make themselves felt.
The journalist said that it was hard for the ex-president of the USSR to walk and for the last six months he had been living in a hospital.
Also, Alexei Venediktov said that Gorbachev is following the news using a tablet and smartphone, and sometimes invites him to meet in a restaurant, where they, together, on the recommendation of a doctor, drink beer.
Recall that the inhabitants of the post-Soviet space have a very mixed attitude towards Mikhail Gorbachev: he is considered the destroyer of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, which led to civil wars in a number of former republics, worsening economic situation, reduce the political influence of Russia, which became the successor to the USSR.
In addition, the former last Secretary General is accused of political lack of foresight, as a result of which NATO expanded eastward and deployed its bases in the countries of the former socialist camp, practically on the border with Russia.
