Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who resigned as president 20 years ago on Sunday, urged Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to follow his example and and give up power peacefully.
“I would advise Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) to step down now,” Gorbachev said on Saturday, speaking on Ekho Moskvy radio.
“It has been enough. Three terms - two terms as president and another term as prime minister. Three terms, that’s enough. Because, otherwise, the circles (close to powerful leaders) and clans form,” Gorbachev added.
Gorbachev said if Putin stepped down now he would be remembered for the positive things he did during his 12 years in power.
