I mean, nuclear plants are fairly solid. It would take a lot of concentrated fire to do catastrophic damage. There is a reason they are hiding in it.

End of an era.

He lived long enough to see Russia turn into a tyrannical empire all over again.

Kinda shocking that Putin is now the only person alive who has served as the leader of Russia (well, Medvedev too, but we all know who was really in charge...).

Reuters - Putin denies Gorbachev a state funeral and will stay away

Probably jealous people don’t dislike Gorbachev as much as Putin.
