Legacy of Gorbachev


Yesterday, on the 30th of August, 2022, Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union and the man who opened Russia to the rest of the world, passed away at the age of 91. Like him or dislike him, he will be dearly missed. And the saddest part is that his legacy of Perestroika and Glasnost have died with him amid the Russo-Ukrainian War.

As a tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev, here is a comic featuring Mikhail Gorbachev making cameos in video games. The top image is from the MSX version of Gorby's Pipeline, and the bottom image is Zangief's Ending from the Arcade version of Street Fighter 2, which makes more sense given that Gorbachev's obituary happened on the day of the 35th Anniversary of Street Fighter.

Dasvidanya, Gorby. Zangief's fans will never forget your cameo in Street Fighter 2.
