Indeed. He didn't weigh in on the current debacle but he praised Putin's seizure of Crimea.
He was a product of his upbringing and honestly he always seemed like a weak player to me -- but really I have no idea how difficult it might have been to bring off the reforms he did under Andropov, Chernenko and then his own premiership.
