More quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Mikhail Gorbachev
According to Lenin, socialism and democracy are indivisible.... The essence of perestroika lies in the fact that it unites socialism with democracy and revives the Leninist concept of socialist construction both in theory and in practice. We want more socialism and, therefore, more democracy.
Mikhail Gorbachev
People, human beings with all their creative diversity, are the makers of history.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Those who are late will be punished by life itself.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The threat of a world war is no more.

Mikhail Gorbachev
I certainly wouldn't say that we loved the arms race. Trillions of dollars were used to stoke it. For our economy, which was smaller in size than the American economy, it was a burden. But one cannot agree with the statement that the arms race played the key role in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I think the United States is sick. It suffers from the sickness, the disease of being the victor and it needs to cure itself from this disease.
Mikhail Gorbachev
If you want Russia to be a real fully developed partner, then America should invest in Russia and activate Russia as a strong nation.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The Union was destroyed against the will of the people, and it was done deliberately - with the participation of the Russian leadership, on the one hand, and that of the putschists, on the other.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Sometimes its difficult to accept, to recognise ones own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Life punishes those who come too late.
