In an exclusive interview with RFE/RL's Russian Service, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev spoke about the current state of Russian politics and Russia's progress toward democracy. Gorbachev's supporters praise the fact that his views about the collapse of communism and its aftermath have remained remarkably consistent since he left office in 1991. But many believe Gorbachev's condemnation of the Russian political system can't be reconciled with his praise of Putin.
