Michail Sergejewitsch Gorbatschow (russisch Михаил Сергеевич Горбачёв , wiss. Transliteration Michail Sergeevič Gorbačёv; * 2. März 1931 in Priwolnoje; † 30. August 2022 in Moskau) war ein sowjetischer Politiker. Er war von März 1985 bis August 1991 Generalsekretär des Zentralkomitees der Kommunistischen Partei der Sowjetunion (KPdSU) und von März 1990 bis Dezember 1991 letzter Staatspräsident der Sowjetunion. Neue Akzente in der sowjetischen Politik setzte er mit Glasnost (‚Offenheit‘), einem Bekenntnis zur Meinungsfreiheit, und Perestroika (‚Umbau‘), insbesondere mit der Abschaffung der Planwirtschaft. In Abrüstungsverhandlungen mit den USA leitete er das Ende des Kalten Krieges ein. Er erhielt 1990 den Friedensnobelpreis.
