Gorbachev
Gorbachev was one of the last leaders that changed the USSR to a better
country. He was the one whom liberated the USSR from communism. He had very few
achievements and failures. Thus, some people say he achieved something that the
USSR people wanted. He made USSR into a democratic country. During his rule he

country but those weren't all the achievements he wanted to make for the USSR.
