Gorbachev: His Life and TimesIn the first comprehensive biography of Mikhail Gorbachev, William Taubman shows how a peasant boy clambered to the top of a system designed to keep people like him down, found common ground with America's arch conservative president Ronald Reagan, and permitted the USSR and its East European empire to break apart without using force to preserve them.

In the first comprehensive biography of Mikhail Gorbachev, William Taubman shows how a peasant boy clambered to the top of a system designed to keep people like him down, found common ground with America's arch-conservative president Ronald Reagan, and permitted the USSR and its East European empire to break apart without using force to preserve them. Drawing on interviews with Gorbachev himself, transcripts and documents from the Russian archives, and interviews with Kremlin aides and adversaries, Taubman's intensely personal portrait extends to Gorbachev's remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply loved. Nuanced and poignant, yet unsparing and honest, this sweeping account has all the amplitude of a great Russian novel.Binding Type: Paperback

Mostly great
I think it could use a little less “antiqueing” around the nose. I might paint it to make that area look less dirty. Other than that i really enjoy it!

Beautifully made bust with great detail and solid quality
Color: Veiled Maiden, Color: Veiled Maiden
This is a really beautiful bust. The casting is well done, the details are clean and sharp, and the overall nice weight and the quality feels solid and well-made.
The size is exactly what I expected and it has a great presence once it’s displayed. It looks elegant and adds a nice artistic touch to the space.
I’m very happy with how it turned out and would absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a decorative statement piece.
