Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the USSR, has become the first recipient of the Dresden Prize, which will be awarded annually.
“[Gorbachev] will accept the prize in Dresden… on Sunday,” the press office for the Gorbachev Foundation announced. “He received the award for his remarkable contribution in the field of conflict prevention and violence.”
The office further stated that the prize serves to recognize Gorbachev’s help in fostering democracy in the former East Germany and throughout Eastern Europe in 1989.

Is it not true that Gorby went from being the chosen leader of the world's largest empire to being a wealthy lap dog for the new world order banksters. Gorby deserves many big, big prizes because without him the world would not be in the wonderful condition that it finds itself in today. We need more Gorbys.
Whilst Gorbachev was not alone in abetting the return to not only Russia and the Soviet Union States, but, as a consequence, most of "Eastern" Europe, of [sic?] Plato's Republic style "democracy" for Big Business and reactionary Imperialism, he, yet receives "baksheesh" as a leader of the "fifth column". Makes a Proletarian wonder was he ever a Communist? Were his supporters so loyal to the Party Constitution that less then 10% of them challenged him and other proponents of the reactionary Glazznost and PerishTroika policies he [in my eyes] is discreditted with promoting? Where are they now? The present Party leaders seem to have returned to blind faith in always reactionary religion and its ever "Cheshire-cat" smarmingly grinning Plato style [sic?] democratic[?] oligarchy!! ///Old Snowyone.
"the world would not be in the wonderful condition that it finds itself in today" I can't believe this remark, or either the author lives in limbo or is just joking! By the way the Nobel prize for "peace" is only awarded to the lackeys of the only Empire that really exists, the jew- anglo-saxon empire .
