There is one moment -- a single decision -- that some people still hold against Mikhail Gorbachev today, 20 years later. Gorbachev, the last leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and last president of the Soviet Union, his wife and his closest confidants had survived the attempted coup by the KGB, the military leadership and the interior minister.
