Tolstoy struggled with the questions of the impact of historic events on great leaders and vice versa. In the case of Mikhail Gorbachev, is he the product of a failed ideology and a bankrupt economic theory? Or is he that rare character, a true leader who anticipates and therefore conditions history?
