    Wasn’t Gorbachev the chillest of all Russian rulers? For some reason that is his image in my head.

      He was the most friendliest, from a Western point of view.
      But he was also the last, meaning that he presided over the time when the Soviet Union was collapsing.

        Yeah, but not the most obedient. That’s why the west preferred Yeltsin - and his faithful number two, Putin.

      I would guess Yeltsin for most chill. But either way I’m thinking by gorbachev’s time bread lines were still pretty bad.
