Boris Johnson today hailed Mikhail Gorbachev as a man of “courage and integrity” who changed the world for the better, as he and other world leaders paid tribute to the former Soviet leader.
The Prime Minister said Mr Gorbachev, whose reforms paved the way for the end of the Cold War and the Soviet Union, as well as the freeing of eastern Europe from Communist rule, had shown a “tireless commitment to opening up Soviet society that remains an example to us all.”
