Mikhaïl Sergueïevitch Gorbatchev ou Gorbatchov (en russe : Михаил Сергеевич Горбачёв, /mʲɪxɐˈil sʲɪrˈɡʲejɪvʲɪtɕ ɡərbɐˈtɕɵf/ ), né le 2 mars 1931 à Privolnoïe (dans l'actuel kraï de Stavropol) et mort le 30 août 2022 à Moscou, est un homme d'État soviétique puis russe. Membre du Parti communiste de l'Union soviétique à partir du début des années 1950, il dirige l'Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques (URSS) entre 1985 et 1991. Résolument réformateur, il s'engage à l'extérieur vers la fin de la guerre froide et lance sur le plan intérieur la libéralisation économique, culturelle et politique, connue sous les noms de perestroïka et de glasnost. Impuissant à maîtriser les évolutions qu'il a lui-même enclenchées, il doit faire face au putsch de Moscou et démissionne à la fin de l’année 1991, ce qui marque le point final de la dislocation de l'URSS, deux ans après la chute des régimes communistes en Europe. Il n'a pas de successeur, mais son rival Boris Eltsine devient président de la fédération de Russie. Apprécié dans le monde occidental, il reçoit le prix Nobel de la paix en 1990, mais est très peu populaire en Russie, où beaucoup lui reprochent les conditions de la dislocation de l’URSS. Candidat à l’élection présidentielle russe de 1996, il arrive en septième position avec 0,5 % des voix. Des études réalisées ultérieurement confirment son impopularité dans le pays. Mikhaïl Gorbatchev fonde ensuite deux partis de centre gauche, qui ne rencontrent aucun succès. Il meurt à 91 ans, sans jamais avoir retrouvé de mandat ou fonction de premier plan et en pleine invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie.
