On the birthday of Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, the leadership of the US National Security Archive prepared a rather original gift for the former General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee: they posted 14 secret documents concerning the activities of the Soviet politician in the period from 1984-1991 to the public. A congratulatory signature is attached to the secret papers.
It should be noted that the National Security Archive is not a semblance of Wikileaks, but an official body that monitors the secrecy of documents. As soon as the term ends, the documents are made public. So what did Mikhail Sergeevich's activity conceal?
Correspondences with Reagan, data from Reagan with Thatcher and Bush with Kohl, as well as an analysis of Gorbachev's activities as a politician who took office.
The areas painted in white are the CIA seal, no one will recognize the hidden information. Even for people close to the American intelligence services, this was not available.
The documents indicate that Gorbachev's work is assessed as risky, but nevertheless effective. Mostly praise for “fighting inefficiency and corruption”. It is noted that the secretary general is rapidly promoting his familiar supporters to high positions, who will later have to be isolated. The Americans also complain that Gorbachev's actions do not keep pace with his promises: "An ambitious agenda puts Gorbachev in the spotlight … We will have to constantly prove that he is right … Any mistake he makes will lead to the consolidation of the opposition and hit him."
Judging by the documents of those times when Mikhail Gorbachev was already president of the USSR, the United States began to realize that their plan was gradually starting to work. With such "successes" Gorbachev will soon be overthrown, and this will be followed by a pleasing anarchy.

And then, according to the plan, there are several ways: either conservatives from the KGB come to power, who will destroy their own economy and eventually give their place to democrats, or reformers who will make a confederation out of the Soviet Union. Analysts are well aware that Gorbachev destroyed the Leninist regime and left absolutely nothing in exchange except an anti-crisis program that does not work.
Ultimately, Gorbachev tried to torn between conservatives and reformers, but neither of them trusted him. The United States concludes that even if either side comes to power, it will be impossible to pull the country out of the crisis: “Gorbachev will most likely be forced to resign.”
These, of course, are not the only documents that Mikhail Sergeevich received for his 85th birthday. Not all of them are publicly available. There are rumors that the remnants are in Moscow at 39 Leningradsky Prospekt. Of course, Gorbachev will not say anything about them, wanting to remain in the image of a real reformer.
