michael, i want to ask you about gorbachev.time. when i did that interview i also asked him about vladimir putin who he then supported, not late in life our understanding is from his biographer that he was very upset about the invasion of ukraine and his own position on that having changed. this is what he had to say when i asked him about putin. >> do you think president putin is committed, wants better relations with the united states? >> translator: yes, absolutely. yes. >> some americans are nervous about him because he's formerly kgb and he is not -- he is not mikhail gorbachev, he's -- he's not someone we understand. >> of course he is not gorbachev. he is putin, no doubt about that. that i can assure you, that's true. but the people of america and the people of russia and certainly the american president and the russian president will definitely have to reckon with that and i do believe that he is a person with whom you can deal. >> and he went on to say, mike mcfaul, that the american people and the russian people know

gorbachev the books, freedom and democracy, not just a russia eastern europe. it was go, go, go to the cold war reduced instance. it's actually interesting, michael, a lot, a lot safer place in your introduction to this discussion. we're going to have you made all sorts of points about negative legacies of gorbachev in relation to nitro expansion and the current divisions in the world. you're crying and so on. but i have to say, i have to disagree. those will go, but chose like this is, those were the legacies of the people who kind of after you go, because vision or, you know, an integrated single well, right? living in the home is still irrelevant vision, even though it seems very much. and so, as far as i'm concerned, you know, the positive headlines go just getting in the western press. i welcome to say, like, you know, i haven't said i could also understand. obviously, the view from russia might, might, might be a, might be different or a fact is different because of course, there were many negative consequences of gorbachev political, economic problems, many negative consequences of the why, you know, colonies in constant solving one of tho
