Final preparations are underway for Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to Fort Myers tonight. The former Soviet Union leader is speaking at Florida Gulf Coast University. More than 4-thousand people are expected to crowd into FGCU’s Alico Arena to hear the former Soviet premier speak beginning at 6 p-m. Gorbachev will spend about 30-minutes talking about ‘peace in the 21st century’ – then he will take about 25-minutes of questions from the audience. Mikhail Gorbachev won the Nobel Prize for his role in helping to end the Cold War in the early 1990s. Gorbachev has donated his 125-thousand-dollar speaking fee to his private foundation and Green Cross International. His appearance is part of the University’s Lecture Series and he also offered to hold a fundraising dinner after the speech to collect more money to expand the series for future dignitaries to address the region. Tune into Gulf Coast Live tomorrow at two for a special interview with Mikhail Gorbachev.
