Mikhael Gorbachev, Misunderstood Genius, Despised and Rejected Saviour/Deliverer of His People (& Ultimately Inadvertent Destroyer of His (Erstwhile) Kingdom/Empire)...Yet, Like Another 'Who Is Like God' - Yes, Jesus Christ Himself - 'A Prophet Not Accepted By His Own Kinsfolk, Hometown & Nation' (At Least the Latter)...

May your reward be great - corresponding to your wonderful work/s...as you selflessly, even sacrificially (almost at the cost of your own life - in the infamous 'Colonels' Coup of late 1991) gave freedom/liberty to your own people and people throughout the old Eastern Empire...
