Sky News - Live Blog: Reports " Vladimir Putin will not attend Mikhail Gorbachev's funeral due to 'work schedule', Kremlin says....Mr Gorbachev was a strong critic of the Russian president and said corruption had reached "colossal proportions" under his leadership. "
Lets Get Real:
The funeral will not be a STATE FUNERAL as noted in the article, but there will be aspects such as a honour guard, the fact that Putin went to see Gorbachev in his open casket but will not attend the funeral is very odd, it just might be a Russian thing. There was no love lost between Putin and Gorbachev, Putin has reversed the Gorbachev agenda when it comes to Russian democracy, reform and freedom. If you call the War in the Ukraine a WAR you get thrown in to prison. The Free press has been shutdown, the Western Nations are backing the Ukraine, while Russia has the backing of China and Iran. In other words the other rogue nations. The Russians action in the Ukraine has shown that the Russian Soldier is a WAR CRIMINAL, and that the Russian leadership are following in the footsteps of Stalin. Hostility to the West and repression at home. Putin has ruined the Gorbachev legacy. As Putin is not going to the funeral, it means that the Western Leaders do not have to go, they are banned anyway. One does wonder, what Reagan, Thatcher will be saying to Gorbachev on his arrival up stairs.
