Anybody who is upset with and blames Gorbachev for the collapse of the USSR should be looked on with suspicion.

What did he do? He refused to brutally suppress opposition.

That's it. If your state can't survive without sending in the tanks any time a large group of people takes issue with the status quo, your system should not exist.

I think his main problem was shock therapy economics. He kind of fumbled the transition into capitalism. Gorbachev is still the best Russian leader imo, he’s the only one to have given a damn about his people’s rights.
