Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet president, who ended the Cold War, died on Tuesday at the age of 91. “Mikhail Gorbachev passed away tonight after a serious and protracted disease,” said Russia’s Central Clinical Hospital. He will be buried in Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery next to his wife Raisa, who died in 1999. “He gave freedom to hundreds of millions of people in Russia and around it, and also half of Europe,” said former Russian liberal opposition leader Grigory Yavlinsky.
