Mikhail Gorbachev is a typical product of the communist system. He was head of the Kremlin from 1985 to 1991, reformed an ailing regime, and has become an outcast in his own country since the collapse of the USSR. So who's he really ?

Approaching his 80th birthday, the last head of state of the USSR agreed to talk about the most important periods of his existance and to reveal telling details of his life, his youth and the corridors of power.
