This was an excellent blog. Great level of detail, and there is a clear progression to your argument. You do need to break up the text a little more and add hyperlinks. Overall, a great piece of work. :) I agree with a number of points made in the previous comment. This was an excellent blog. Great level of detail, and there is a clear progression to your argument.

However, You state your case logically and emphatically, which is crucial to good argumentation. I also would have loved to see a picture of the Berlin Wall going down or something, because it would have had a lot of emotional pull. As it was, you make a very good point that he helped reduce the risk of nuclear war and was very brave to go against his party's wishes. I personally never would have considered Gorbachev before reading this, and now I find myself considering him in the "good human being" category of "greatness" along with MLK Gandhi and Mother Teresa, etc. Idk if he can be considered "greatest" but you convinced me that at least one Communist leader was a good person, and thats a big accomplishment. lol Personally, I would have loved to see some hyperlinks in here on words I didnt know much about, like a site about what the Central Committee’s job was within the USSR, for example.
