M Gorbachev needs to keep silent lest he comes to a bad end.

He knows how the game is played. He recognizes the false result. Putin is indeed a potentially really bad guy. It is good he is meeting resistance from a name that tells the people to pay attention.

Interesting. He is going around the intent ... it has worked.

It will be interesting what happens now.

I think Putin is more likely to be sacrificed if it came to anyone coming ot a bad end. Mikhail is at no point a threat ot the current government and he is not the one that the Russians are angry with. If Gorbachev were to die after this, there would be no doubt that Putin has been behind it. I don’t think that Putin would survive even being suspected of an assassination and I don’t see how Mikhail is secretly envious of PUtin. He might be, but MIkhail is also not at all stupid about knowing when to throw in the towel and walk away.
