I had the privilege of working in Prime Minister Vajpayee's Office and watching and listening to him at close quarters. That period was a turning point in our history.
Embassy of India mourns the death of our former Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a great statesman, an unparalleled leader and a distinguished poet. He played a defining role in elevating India-Russian cooperation, during his tenure.

Mikhail Sergeivich Gorbachev is no more. His meteoric rise to power as a rank outsider in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is still being studied.
He presided over:
-the end of the Cold War;
- collapse of Soviet Communism;
