Caption:
Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev holds a press conference titled 'In Run-Up to 80th Birthday: Drawing Some Conclusions,' at Itar-Tass News Agency in Moscow, Russia on February 21, 2011. When asked who would be Russia's next leader, Gorbachev criticized Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev for their approach to the coming 2012 Russian presidential election. He described Russia as an imitation of democracy and accused its current leaders of contempt for voters in his harshest criticism of the government. Photo by Alexandra Mudrats/Itar-Tass/ABACAUSA.COM
