Oh, People can and do 'move on from their past'. We Americans rebelled against King George way back in 1776 . . .

And King Charles appears to be leading England into islamic subjugation . . . No thank you.

Of the Russian / Soviet / other / leaders you listed, Gorbachev is probably the least 'imperialistic' of the lot. And, just in case you missed the memo, Gorbachev is no longer around.

5 - Soviet foreign policy from détente to Gorbachev, 1975–1985

http://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-history-of-the-cold-war/soviet-foreign-policy-from-detente-to-gorbachev-19751985/BA4034318ECF832CB8DBF39CA274464D

Soviet international behavior in the decade before Mikhail Gorbachev’s perestroika is still an understudied and highly controversial topic. Some authors have long argued that the Soviet Union was greatly interested in détente in Europe, while neoconservative critics claimed that the USSR masterfully used détente in its quest for inexorable expansion and military superiority. At the time, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and most Soviet dissidents energetically supported the latter view.

Critics of détente made some excellent points. Soviet power reached its pinnacle in the late 1970s. Military expenditures, after rapid increases in the previous decades, stabilized at a high level. Three-fourths of all the research and development (R&D) potential of the country was located within the military-industrial complex. There were forty-seven “closed cities” with 1.5 million inhabitants, where military R&D labs and nuclear reactors were located, under the jurisdiction of the Atomic Ministry and the Ministry of Defense.

Re: “Are you sure about that, De?Yeah, I'm sure. Nobody could look into it and mistake Russia for the Soviet Union. Different geographies, different people, different political systems, different governments, different... do you think Russia would let itself be led by a Belarusian, a Ukrainian or a Georgian? The Soviet Union did. (Gromyko, Khruschev and Stalin.) Even Gorbachev was only half Russian.

Silly discussion. Since you think people don't move on from their past, give my regards to your King Charles.
