Conclusion

Above the entire leaders listed, I admire the Gorbachev the most. He is the one who made most of the daring decisions to have peace in the world. He improve relation with the USA and made many treaties to reduce arms. He stop providing aids to the Satellite countries. If he does not make any treaty with the US we might still be at Cold War right now. Thanks to him now we are living at Peace and the Cold War ended.
