Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, will pay tribute next Wednesday to the dead last leader of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev.
SPD president Berbel Bas will honor the first and last president of the Soviet Union before the start of the debate on the 2023 federal budget, the Bundestag presidium said Thursday.
A minute’s silence will be observed in his memory. Flags on the Reichstag building will fly at half-staff throughout the day.
Mikhail Gorbachev, who died on Tuesday in Moscow at the age of 91 after a long illness, is regarded in Germany as one of the fathers of the country’s unification. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate is also credited with being instrumental in ending the Cold War.
Despite his popularity in the West, he has remained on the sidelines of political life in Russia in recent years, as many blamed him for the breakup of the Soviet Union and the collapse of living standards after the end of socialism.
