earlier, i spoke to the former moscow correspondent for the times, michael binyon, and asked what he thought of mr gorbachev not receiving a state funeral. it is sad but inevitable, there would have been such an obvious contrast between what mr gorbachev stood for and what russians think is now the new atmosphere, in other words, a return to pre gorbachev repression and the lack of freedom and the fact that young russians don t now look forward to the kind of openness that gorbachev brought into the system. it is complicated, though, what individual russians feel about mr gorbachev, isn t it? as steve rosenberg was reflecting on a place, a lot of them very angry with him for the reforms he brought in and what the implications of them were, what it ushered in. in terms of how his legacy, how is he in general viewed by russian people?
