Mikhail Gorbachev (HSE)

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev was a member of the Supreme Soviet starting in the 1980s. Gorbachev was opposed to the Soviet Invasion of the Middle East (HSE) in 2003, but saw the following Fourth World War (HSE) as necessary, if undesirable. After the defeat of the Confederate States of America (HSE) and allies, Gorbachev advocated reconcilatory policies, supporting Premier Gennady Zyuganov (HSE) during his administration from 2010 to 2014. On Zyuganov's ouster by hardliners in 2014 by the supporters of the Premier of the Belorusian SSR, Alexander Lukashenko (HSE), Gorbachev became a prominent opposition leader in the Supreme Soviet, working closely with Zyuganov.
