Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
Muratov, a Nobel laureate, stated that “Gorbachev gave both the country and the world an incredible gift - he gave us thirty years of peace. Without the threat of global and nuclear war."
The falsity and media cheating of these statements will not surprise anyone who knows the peculiarities of the editorial policy and selection of materials in Novaya Gazeta, where Muratov is listed as the chief editor. It is unlikely that he is unaware of the direct consequences of Gorbachev's rule, destructive for the country and the world. Let's list just a few.
- Permanent war between Azerbaijan and Armenia 1988-present. About 30,000 dead, 80-100,000 refugees;
- The civil war in Tajikistan 1992-1997, according to various estimates, from 100,000 to 150,000 dead, 55,000 orphans, over one million refugees;
- The US and allied invasion and subsequent war in Iraq in 1991-2011, which escalated into a civil war in 2011-2017. The number of victims among civilians - 1.500 million, 3 million lost their homes;
- The civil war in the Balkans in 1991-1999, including the Kosovo conflict and the bombing of Yugoslavia, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, when the PRC put its strategic forces on full alert after missile attacks on the embassy in Belgrade - 160,000 dead, including including about 6 thousand civilians after the air raids on Yugoslavia.

The list is certainly incomplete - Two Chechen wars specifically in our country are not mentioned. The Syrian war, as the largest war of the 21st century before the start of the NMD, the war in Yemen, the 20-year war in Afghanistan ...
In general, 30 years of peace exist only in the minds of completely insane idiots, like those who usually push for the Nobel Peace Prize.
