Mikhail Gorbachev led the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991, making him the last leader of the communist country. He is remembered above all for the reformist policy he carried out in this state, known as Perestroika, with which he opened Russia to the rest of the world. The main responsibility for the fall of the dictatorial regime of the USSR died yesterday at the age of 92.
During his lifetime, Gorbachev owned several houses, but one of the most worth mentioning is the luxurious one he owned in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, which resembles a Marbella dream mansion he owned in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, which is similar to a dream mansion in Marbella. It is a large property with amenities, which Gorbachev used as a second home.
Mikhail Gorbachev’s house in Germany
The mansion of the late former Soviet leader, built more than a century ago, had three large and spacious floors. In addition, it was located in the center of a 105,218-square-meter estate, so Gorbachev had a fairly sizable plot of land for his private use. However, the house occupied only 600 square meters of the available land, but still included 17 rooms, including six bedrooms and all kinds of amenities.
Something very striking about this property is that it is located next to a huge, navigable lake and is surrounded by pure nature. It is said that the former president of the USSR visited his house in Bavaria a lot since the death of his wife, Raissa, in 1999, as it was the place where he found the peace of mind he needed in the most difficult moments of his life. The area of Bavaria where Mikhail Gorbachev settled is well known among Russian millionaires, as Roman Abramovich, former president of Chelsea FC, also bought a mansion in the area.
Other residences that Mikhail Gorbachev had
The former president of the Soviet Union also acquired several houses in Russia and a billion-dollar mansion in the United Kingdom. In addition, he was the owner of the buildings that formerly belonged to the Moscow Institute of Social Sciences: a complex of several houses with their corresponding identifying numbers. Thus, Gorbachev’s lifetime wealth amounted to an astronomical amount of money. Yesterday, a historic president left this world, one of the most popular in contemporary history and a wealthy landowner.
