“I am afraid that they have been saddled with this idea that this unmanageable country needs authoritarianism,” Mr. Gorbachev, the said, referring to Mr. Putin and his close ally, President Dmitri A. Medvedev. “They think they cannot do without it.” Mikhail S. Gorbachev, former leader of Russia, beleieved thay he was bringing Russia towards a fundamental democracy, which entails, "election, accountability and turnover," he argued. he campared the rule in Russia under Putin as to be, "A bad copy of Soviet Russia." Mikhail once supported Putin and his policies, but now he believs that Putin has doomed his once thought of a Democracy in Russia.
